Collaborative Contract Delivery Methods
Collaborative Contracts for Successful Projects
Alternative/collaborative contract delivery methods are becoming increasingly important because of their flexibility and success in accomplishing quality projects within budget and schedule. Research has shown that collaborative/alternative contract delivery methods resulted in 15-30 percent improvement in cost and schedule performance compared with traditional contracts. As such, alternative contract delivery methods can help to recognize and mitigate the impacts of economic uncertainty and inflation, construction cost escalation, and supply chain disruptions.
This course, delivered by industry experts, provides an overview of various collaborative and innovative contract delivery methods for construction projects. Fundamentals of alternative contract delivery methods, including basic contract structure, advantages and disadvantages, procurement considerations, optimal team structure, organizational challenges and preparedness, and risk management principles, will be presented. Furthermore, best practices for selecting the appropriate contracting method and contracting strategy will be discussed to help avoid disputes and costly claims.
