Mar. 18 (TWO sessions) | Thursday | 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM | OR | 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Go beyond the theory of changes made to the new CCDC 2 (2020) and discover what is new, what will affect you on-site as a contract administrator working for a GC, Subcontractor, Architect or Engineer - and what stays the same.
Each participant will receive the education copy of the CCDC 2 (2020) and we will work through the following together:
- Adjudication as it ties into Articles 5.2, GC 8.2 and GC 7.2.3;
- Ready for Take-Over GC 12.1;
- Early Occupancy GC 12;
- How payment applications including the reduced role of the payment certifier in legislation will work relative to the new Construction Act in Provinces throughout Canada;
- Payment of Holdbacks, and alignment with provincial legislation
- Eight other contract administration practices that need to be considered/altered to work with the new CCDC 2.
Mar. 23, 24 – 25 | Tuesday - Thursday | 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
