Project Success and Control Through Scheduling
(4.5 Hrs / CCM Renewal Points)

In a perfect world all projects would be delivered on time and within budget. In today’s construction environment, especially the public-sector, low-bid environment, it is not a perfect world. Projects are more complex, and Owners, and their Construction Managers, are faced with challenges that are demanding and dynamic. To meet the challenges of construction today there is a much greater need for improved project control. The main tool available to control the project is the schedule. However, on many projects today, realistic and adequate schedules often are never developed, or maintained. This presentation will focus on:

• How To Get the Performance the Owner/CM Wants
• Planning for Success and Doing it Right the First Time
• Specification Requirement
• Baseline Development and Analysis
• Assignment and Management of Responsibilities
• Damages Incurred when Project Finishes Late
• Schedule Updates—Review and Analysis
• Dealing with Change
• Software and Analysis Tools

Professional Development Course:

Documentation:  New Paths to Project Success           
2 Hrs / 2 CCM Renewal points

Documentation can help your project progress smoothly and successfully, or stop it in its tracks and land you in court.  Simple comments, or missing information, can mean the difference between establishing, or eliminating claims, and expediting or delaying a project.

It's a delicate balance between having adequate substantiation and communication, without creating the animosity associated with too much paperwork bogging down a project. It's vital to establish effective ways to create, and control, the paperwork necessary to maintain the flow of information needed to keep all stakeholders up to date with a clear understanding of what is happening on the project.

This will be a useful course for Construction Managers, Inspectors, Contract Administrators, Schedulers, General Contractors, and more.   

Attendees will benefit from unique tools and formats and  many real-life examples.  In addition to an attorney's overview of the evidentiary significance and admissibility of certain project documentation, topics covered will include:

• Submittal Logs
• RFI Logs
• Telephone Logs
• Daily Reports
• Project meeting minutes: preparation, review and revision, and distribution
• Pay applications: tracking and documentation
• Project photographs and videos
• Change orders: preparation & tracking
• Use of a project event form to track and document events that impact the cost and/or scheduling of a project
• Electronic communications dos and don'ts
• Using project documentation for effective project communication

Instructor: William Last, Last and Faoro, LLP

Mr. Last is a licensed California attorney whose practice primarily emphasizes transactions, litigation, arbitration, and mediation on behalf of companies and individuals involved in the construction industry. He has represented developers, lenders, design professionals, general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers in a wide range of matters relating to mechanics' liens, stop notices, construction failures, latent defects, general contract and bidding disputes, and professional liability, as well as in disputes concerning delays, acceleration, disruption, and payment. Mr. Last has drafted and reviewed numerous construction contracts. He has been successful as lead defense counsel in numerous latent defect cases, including one in which plaintiff's claim exceeded $19.5 million. In a recent matter, a client he represented in a construction delay claim won an award of damages in excess of $1.8 million, including $50,000 in punitive damages. Mr. Last is also is a mediator and arbitrator on the Arbitration Works panel. He is a member of a number of construction trade associations. As a result, he is familiar with the issues and problems that the construction industry encounters.
