Change orders can impact your construction project at any stage. Learn how to timely recognize and address the damages, both in terms of time and money resulting from a change, and most importantly, how to navigate and manage the change order process in order to either recover those damages or limit exposure while, at the same time, not taking on additional risk in the process. We will also review the most typical causes of changes such as differing site conditions and design errors and omissions vis-à-vis typical contracts and how parties can best position themselves to manage such changes not just in terms of change orders but in the overall context of progressing and successfully completing the project.
Join this session by expert speaker Fritz Marth, where he will explore the change order process, the legal implications of various types of change orders and how to move the project forward after a change.
