The webinar includes coverage of types of contracts and delivery methods, starting with definitions. We then discuss types of contracts with characteristics and pros and cons of each of them. We discuss under what circumstances each type of contract would be recommended. Later, we discuss delivery methods and what they mean to the owner. Although delivery methods are not a type of contracting method, they are related to types of contracts. So, it is logical to discuss delivery methods and types of contracts at the same time. We mention several situations and the best contract/delivery method for the situation.
Types of contracts in construction projects.

Who Should Attend
This webinar is important for construction project owners and contractors.
Why should you attend
This webinar explains basic and simple facts and matters that must be considered before owners rush to a design professional and a contractor to build their projects. This webinar addresses the roles and risks assigned to the project parties and guides the owner to the best arrangement for the situation. Many project owners make the wrong decision either because they rush to sign a contract before doing proper planning or because they think they want to save money and/or time. The result may be the opposite, as the wrong choice may lead to higher costs, longer duration, and more headaches. This seminar also gives the owner more information for the negotiation phase with the contractor, especially on the issue of risk allocation.
Topic Background
In construction projects, there is no such thing as the best contract or best delivery method. Every project and every owner has their own merits and conditions that lead to the choice of the best type of contract and delivery method. This is a matter that an owner must study well at the planning stage, sometimes even before picking the design company. The choice must be based on many factors that have to do with the project design, location, owner’s experience and involvement, owner’s willingness to take responsibility and risk, time and cost constraints, and more.
