In this workshop, we will delve into the strategies and practices that enable participants to leverage subcontracting opportunities to their fullest potential while mitigating associated risks. Whether you're a seasoned subcontractor or new to the subcontracting arena, this workshop is designed to provide valuable insights and practical tools to enhance your subcontracting endeavors. Participants will utilize a manual featuring spreadsheets and checklists to explore the contractual responsibilities of subcontractors. We will examine clauses pertaining to design responsibility, performance specifications, conduit or flow-down provisions, scope of subcontract work, payment terms, insurance requirements, protection of work, warranties, and temporary site facilities. Furthermore, we will delve into contract law, terms and conditions, incorporation by reference, and other pertinent contract terms. Participants will collaborate to develop a "Subcontract Handbook," enhancing your understanding of contract requirements. Additionally, we will utilize a green, amber, and red-light system to analyze actual subcontract clauses, empowering participants to identify clauses of concern when reviewing and comprehending construction contracts they are considering bidding on or signing. This workshop offers a unique resource: a comprehensive manual serving as a reference and companion throughout the sessions. Drawing upon over 40 years of collective experience in the construction industry, this manual is a valuable asset. It provides practical how-to guides, checklists, and templates, serving as a foundation for implementing new processes and procedures, whether in the office or on the jobsite. |
