SUMMARY:Time Extension Requests – What Does A Contractor Have To Prove?
DESCRIPTION:All construction professionals must learn how to prepare\, analyze\, and justify time extension requests. Owners and their representatives must receive\, analyze\, and recommend a course of action\, and decide on all time extension requests submitted by contractors. Contractors and CM’s @Risk are required to analyze\, prepare\, justify\, and submit time extension requests on behalf of themselves and/or their subcontractors. \nWe will identify the tests set forth by the U.S. Federal Courts to justify excusable and compensable delay time extension requests.  Then we will discuss how these rules are applied for submission and analysis of requests. We will address rules concerning concurrent delay and how courts hold the claimant responsible for allocating concurrent delay. We will highlight two new court rulings which may be “game changers” concerning delays\, time extension requests and the use of concurrent delay as a defense against liquidated damages. \nWe will detail burden of proof and what must be proven to justify time extensions – both excusable and compensable. We will discuss several common misconceptions about who has burden of proof concerning concurrent delay.  We will identify when a contractor is not required to justify field and home office overhead costs once a compensable delay has been proven. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nabout recent court cases\nrules concerning time extension requests\narguments re waiver and apportionment of liquidated damages\nconcurrent delay issues – who must prove and allocate concurrent delay\nwhen owner’s liability for delay is limited or obviated\nunder what circumstances a contractor is entitled to compensable delay\nuse of CPM schedules when pursuing or defending against time extension requests\nnew rules – when concurrent delay can and cannot be used to eliminate liquidated damages\n\nInstructor: James G. Zack\, Jr. is Principal of James Zack Consulting\, LLC\, a construction claims consultancy dedicated to helping Owners and Contractors complete projects in the field\, not arbitration or court.   He is a recognized\, published expert in mitigation\, analysis\, and resolution or defense of construction claims and disputes.  In his 49-year career\, he has been involved in public and private projects throughout the U.S. and 39 countries\, working with Owners and Contractors on 5\,000+ claims. \nSee Flyer for complete details and registration information. \nRSVP and you will be sent a link to pay for your registration.

SUMMARY:Early Completion Schedules - Benefits\, Risks & Defenses
DESCRIPTION:A contractor’s right to complete work early was acknowledged by U.S. Courts in the 1960’s.  Delayed early completion claims arose shortly thereafter and became somewhat common in the industry. It was then\, and remains now\, a controversial issue in the construction industry\, and many project owners refuse to accept early completion baseline schedules.  Others craft contractual mechanisms to defeat such claims. \nThis webinar will outline the background for a contractor’s right to complete work early\, and examine the contractor’s right to seek an equitable adjustment should their early completion be delayed by an Owner’s action.  We will identify the potential benefits and risks for both owners and contractors.   We will explain several different ways owners can defend against claims-oriented early completion schedules. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nthe background of contractor’s right to complete work earlier than contract requires\nwhat an early completion schedule is and why some contractors use them\nhow to determine if early completion schedules are legitimate or claims-oriented\nwhat contractors must prove to recover damages in early completion delay claims\ncontractor’s perceived advantages for creating and submitting an early completion schedule\n12 ways an owner can avoid claims-oriented early completion schedules\n\nInstructor: James G. Zack\, Jr. is Principal of James Zack Consulting\, LLC\, a construction claims consultancy dedicated to helping Owners and Contractors complete projects in the field\, not arbitration or court.   He is a recognized\, published expert in mitigation\, analysis\, and resolution or defense of construction claims and disputes.  In his 49-year career\, he has been involved in public and private projects throughout the U.S. and 39 countries\, working with Owners and Contractors on 5\,000+ claims. \nRegister a team of 3 or more from your organization and save $15 each! \nSee Flyer for complete details and registration information. \nRSVP and you will be sent a link to pay for your registration.
