Corporate Training By Zack Academy - Dealing With Non-Approved Contractor Schedules

Why Should You Take This Dealing With Non-Approved Contractor Schedules Course?

Too many projects start without an approved baseline schedule, and sometimes the schedule, or subsequent schedule updates, are never approved. This raises risks to both the contractor and the owner. However, if the risks to the owner of approving the schedule are greater than the benefits to the project of approving that schedule, the schedule should indeed be rejected. In the case of rejection, knowing what to do and how to deal with a project that does not have an approved schedule in place can be very important to the success of the project and protection of the two parties' interests. This Dealing With Non-Approved Contractor Schedules webinar will address the very difficult choices that must be made when a schedule is submitted that is either substandard or does not meet the requirements of the specification.

This 90-minute interactive program will:

• Describe the role of the baseline schedule
• Help owners understand their risks in approving 'bad' or non-compliant construction schedules
• Show contractors why approval of a less-than-sufficient schedule can increase their risks
• Discuss common reasons why schedules fail to be approved
• Review recommended project control actions when schedules or schedule updates cannot be approved -Provide general project actions that can be taken to increase opportunities to approve schedules
• Suggest scheduling specification language to help increase the ability of schedules to gain approval
• Review as-built record-keeping and schedule log approaches to accurately track job progress
• Recommend industry actions that can be taken to increase opportunities to approve schedules
• And much, much more!

In addition, a 10-to-15 minute period has been reserved at the end of the speakers' presentation for an interactive Q & A session so you can discuss specific issues or gain additional knowledge about topics discussed.

Intended Audience:  This webinar is a must if you're a public or private owner, owner's representative, construction manager, contracting officer, contractor, subcontractor or designer involved in contract administration.
