SUMMARY:Construction Scheduling Games People Play Part 2
DESCRIPTION:The intended purpose of construction scheduling is to assist with proper planning and coordination of a project.  Unfortunately\, construction schedules are often used to help build claims against project owners.  For both owners and contractors\, a careful drafting and reading of the schedule specifications is imperative. Otherwise – Contractors can lose their rights; Owners can lose their shirts.  \nThe intent of schedule specifications is to measure progress on the job\, but also to mitigate future delays and resolve past disputes.  This webinar delves into the number of ways construction schedules can be used for the benefit of the project and abused to the detriment of the project Owner.  Based on input from many project schedulers and claims consultants\, it synthesizes some defenses against claims-oriented schedules. \nMuch of the process of building claims using schedules involves “gamesmanship.”  Whether by intentional strategy\, inattention to schedule specs\, or merely sloppy practices\, various schedule “games” arise on projects – you need to be aware of them\, \nThis exclusive two-part webinar identifies more than 15“Scheduling Games” and offers 45 defenses to help prevent schedule gamesmanship. \nSome defenses involve changes to contract document language to implement during design phase.  Other defenses are pragmatic in nature and can be implemented daily by a knowledgeable construction management team – even in the absence of specification language. \nLearn what some industry-recognized specifications have done to combat abuse and why further changes may still be necessary.  This thorough treatment of the subject cannot be presented in one webinar\, so it is being presented in a special two-part series.  A 10- to 15-minute period has been reserved at the end of each session for an interactive question-and-answer period\, so attendees can discuss specific issues or gain additional knowledge about the topics discussed.  My comprehensive paper on this topic will be provided to attendees to serve as a checklist for identifying and addressing schedule games. \nInstructor: James G. Zack\, Jr. is Principal of James Zack Consulting\, LLC \n\nNote:  Part 1 is offered on 10/21/2021 and 11/10/2021\n\nSee Flyer for complete details and registration information.
