Over the years, ECA has developed one of the most successful Supervisory Training Programs (STP) in the country...over 200 Superintendent Courses since the inception of the program some 30-plus years ago, training over 3,500 local supervisors, tradespeople, and office personnel.
This class meets over seven consecutive Thursdays: January 16, 23 and 30, February 6, 13, 20 and 27, 2025.
Attendance of at least 5 of the classes is required to pass the unit.
Unit #4, "Contract Documents," will provide information about contract documents and construction law to help supervisors recognize the roles and responsibilities of all contracted parties, to develop an understanding of how contract documents can be helpful in solving problems and resolving conflicts, and to develop positive relationships between all parties in the construction process.
Topics will include: • Introduction to contract documents and construction law • Creating a positive environment through partnering • Contractual relationships • Contract forms and documents • Managing general conditions • Good documentation practices • Changes, Differing site conditions, Time impacts, Negotiation of resolutions
"Contract Documents" is for Superintendents and foremen, people who aspire to become superintendents and foremen; people who work with superintendents and foremen; supervisors who work for subs; field secretaries; owners, architects, and engineers; anyone who communicates with the job site.
The Supervisory Training Program has been developed by the Associated General Contractors of America. More than 200,000 individuals have participated in STP courses nationally. It was developed by contractors for contractors. Give it a look if you haven’t already done so!
