Changes are an inevitable part of the construction process but if not managed well, change orders can cause unnecessary project disruptions and lead to cost increases and schedule delays. This course will provide participants with best practices for successfully navigating this complex project management challenge.
Note: Attendees of the Construction Law course will find portions of this course a review.
Please note: If you have completed or are intending to take the Construction Law course, due to overlapping materials we suggest the Change Order Management course is taken only as refresher or for Gold Seal/CPD points.
