This training will provide developers, public funders and other interested participants with some key strategies for highly effective construction management. The training will focus on a few critical parts of the construction management process, including:
- Improving risk management from the very beginning, by defining project scope, creating a project management plan and understanding who controls design.
- Best practices related to contracting, including different contract types and sub-contractor issues.
- Top-notch budget management, including issues related to change orders, hidden contractor profit centers, and handling contingencies.
Participants will learn how others - including their own experienced peers in the room - approach certain construction management challenges. They will leave with specific tips about how they can maintain more control over the construction management process for future projects.
