Upcoming Webinar: Revising Construction Payment Provisions: Addressing Change Orders, Extra or Nonconforming Work, and Other Costs

I am pleased to announce that I will be speaking in an upcoming Strafford live video webinar, "Revising Construction Payment Provisions: Addressing Change Orders, Extra or Nonconforming Work, and Other Costs" scheduled for Wednesday, May 12, 1:00pm-2:30pm EDT.

We will address advanced payment issues in construction projects, including change orders and extra work. The panel will provide practical guidance to construction practitioners for differentiating between real versus perceived changes; undocumented oral change orders; changes due to defective plans and specifications; the effects of previously unknown/changed site conditions; additional, unauthorized, or nonconforming work; changes because of external factors; and change order impact costs. We will also discuss the current AIA standard contract documents--such as Article 7 of the AIA A201 2017 General Conditions of the Contract for Construction--and best practices for amending these standard provisions to address payment issues.

We will review these and other key issues:

  • What are best practices for addressing change orders, extra work, and other payment issues?

  • Discussion of AIA Article 7 and how it can be changed

  • What are best practices for modifying and amending these forms in an attempt to avoid change order disputes during the project?

  • In what ways can the AIA documents be changed?

  • How can counsel help contractor clients differentiate between real versus perceived changes?

  • What are strategies to avoid disputes over undocumented oral changes?

  • What are best practices for ensuring project-wide consistency?

  • What practical drafting strategies and/or best practices in the field will reduce the likelihood of disputes and offer significant advantages if disputes arise?

  • What role "notice" plays in the change order process

After our presentations, we will engage in a live question and answer session with participants so we can answer your questions about these important issues directly.
