Friday Morning Educational Programs:
How to Build a Better Mouse Trap: Putting Together Change Orders that Will Get Paid to be presented by Denise M. Motta with Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani
Unpaid change orders continue to be one of the primary issues resulting in disputes on construction projects for our clients. In this presentation, Denise will reiterate our best practice recommendations for how to negotiate good change order provisions (Building the Trap) and prepare change orders (Setting the Trap) so that you receive payment, including the proper documentation that is necessary if a claim arises. We will focus on the NEDD rule: Notice, Entitlement, Damages, and Don’t Waive Your Claims so that your change orders are supported and paid in timely manner.
