Construction Boot Camp I

Construction Basics

If your district wants to build then you need to start out with the right foundation. This training will help you build that foundation beginning with the board's initial decision to procure construction through the signing of the construction contracts.

This seminar is appropriate for Board Members, Superintendents, Business Managers and others on your district's construction team.

Topics We'll Cover:

• The steps the board and administration must follow in order to properly procure construction services
• The methods of delivery that will be best for your project
• Developing the request for bids or proposals
• Negotiating the terms of your agreement to help you get the project your district desires

Getting What You Paid For: Building a Better School with Construction Documentation

Do you know what your construction contracts have to say about construction documentation? Are you aware of the steps you need to take in order to protect your right to get the project you bargained for? How do you enforce your warranties? This training is to provide you with the information and skills you need in order to improve your chances for construction success and to remedy aspects of your project that have already gone wrong. We will show you how to create effective and clear documentation concerning your construction project and how to preserve your district's rights to recover if a contractor or architect damages your property or fails to perform their obligations under the contracts. We will help make timely, accurate, and thorough construction documentation your keys to construction success.
