Further, we will evaluate popular "solutions" such as Insurance Captives - and debunk the myths/misinterpretation of these vehicles.

Many project managers (PMs) lack a clear understanding of how their projects are performing financially because they have not been trained on how to forecast properly. Often, contractors struggle with how to build a robust cost projection process that provides consistency and predictability. And, profit fade at 90% complete is no longer an option in today’s market. Teach PMs how to properly set up job budgets, track progress, and accurately forecast. Moreover, learn critical financial indicators that point to problems on projects early so they can be rectified.

We have made it through more than a year in the COVID-19 world which has impacted all aspects of our lives. While we are optimistic that we can now see the light at the end of the tunnel, contractors in both the public and private sectors must remain diligent to protect themselves from the continuing impacts of COVID-19 on the construction industry. In this one-hour presentation, we will discuss identifying key contractual provisions to protect your rights, what those provisions cover and do not cover, and best practices for protecting your rights and documenting your time and cost impacts.
