Part 6 of 6 - Project Manager's Playbook for Construction
The guide to documentation, records, claims, dispute resolution, dispute avoidance and negotiation
With high-impact training
The Project Manager is completely responsible for cost control, contracts, changes and risk management. That's a tall order. Get the training you need for the position and set your project up for success.
Given the nature of construction, it is inevitable that conflict will happen and disputes will arise. In this final part of the series, we'll review the contractual steps you must take if a dispute can't be resolved on the jobsite. However, resolving the dispute at the project-level is the preferred path. We will discuss how to negotiate and handle conflict. Even better, the most preferred route would be to avoid disputes all together. We'll spend a lot of time discussing how to set expectations through clear and unambiguous contracts, how to properly document activities and decisions, proper jobsite records and the importance of communication. Ultimately, people build construction projects. This course discusses ways to interact in an effective way on a personal-level to improve the atmosphere and conditions on site.
