Managing Risk Through Supplemental Conditions (CCDC 2 and CCDC 5)

Construction projects are inherently risky. The most effective way to mitigate risk is with a well-drafted contract and, in many cases, supplemental conditions. Your contract should be as unique as your project. In this session we will outline key provisions of CCDC 2 and 5 contracts that can allocate risk in significant ways. This session will also outline recommended supplemental conditions that may be appropriate for your project.
