Construction contracts are among the most difficult agreements to draft or review, and negotiate. At every stage, building is fraught with substantial risk – timely regulatory approvals, cost containment and price certainty, financing contingencies, building deadlines, and a host of other risks. If these risks materialize, as is common, the bargained for exchange among the parties and their expectations are radically unsettled.

Construction contracts are a careful allocation of risks, a compromise between flexibility and price/cost certainty, and establish procedures for resolving disputes short of costly litigation.

This program provides a practical guide to drafting the most important provisions of construction contracts.

Part 2 topics include:

• Insurance and indemnification provisions of construction contracts
• Role of subcontractors and mechanics’ and materialmen liens
• Anticipating disputes between property owners and builders, and building in cost-effective dispute resolution
• Role and limitations of different type of damages
