Gain a better understanding of subcontracts and how various subcontract and purchase order terms affect their interests.
Construction projects have been analogized to battlefields because they both require meticulous planning and coordination of the movements of large groups of people and materials in the midst of chaos, uncertainty, and risk. If contractors are its generals, subcontractors are its foot soldiers. With fewer contractors self-performing work, subcontractors have increasingly been tasked with making the project vision a reality. Unlike war, the participants to a construction project can manage the risk through carefully drafted and negotiated contracts. Managing the risks on a construction project is the best way to avoid the project from becoming a battlefield. As a result, this topic is critical for contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, attorneys, and others who draft, review, negotiate, modify, and administer subcontracts and purchase orders. It will also provide you with a better understanding of subcontracts and purchase orders, the subcontracting process, and how various subcontract and purchase order terms affect their interests.
