Don't be caught off-guard by implied contract obligations that you did not even know existed.
Few would challenge the wisdom of Ben Franklin's aphorism, "When a friend deals with a friend, Let the bargain be clear and well penn'd, That they may continue friends to the end." Blind reliance upon the written words in a construction contract can be equally imprudent, however, as the courts in the United States have long-recognized implied contract obligations that supplement and clarify the written words of a construction contract. Recognizing and understanding the applicability of implied contract obligations will lead to better decisions throughout the life of a construction project. This course will provide those who draft, negotiate, manage, and administer construction contracts--no matter the frequency--with the knowledge to effectively deal with implied contract obligations both in the contract itself and as claims arise on a construction project. This information is critical to those who need to know and understand their rights and obligations under their construction contracts.
