There is perhaps no aspect of construction which is more misunderstood, and which is more fraught with the potential for confusion, than the shop drawing submittal process. When the process breaks down, the result can be deficient work, economic loss and even disastrous collapse. This teleconference will help you understand your responsibility and risks in the shop drawings submittal process, and how to handle problems when they arise. In addition, this teleconference will discuss change order requests and requests for information, two other types of construction submittals which frequently lead to disputes and are fraught with risk. The presenters are a leading construction attorney and an architect who specializes in the design of complex public and institutional buildings. This teleconference is a must for anyone involved in construction projects.

Learning Objectives:

• You will be able to point out critical contents of shop drawings.
• You will be able to differentiate between change orders vs. construction change directives.
• You will be able to propose how to handle disputed change order requests.
• You will be able to define RFIs.
