Construction Contract Administration (CCA)

In partnership with Construction Specifications Canada - CSC Winnipeg Chapter, you have an opportunity to earn the Certified Construction Contract Administrator (CCCA) designation. This designation was developed to provide professional recognition to individuals who administer contracts on a construction project.

The CCCA program will give you a competitive edge and increase your credibility in the design and construction field. The CCCA designation attests to your knowledge of CSC's recommended practices in organizing, implementing and supervising construction contract documents during the bidding and construction phases of the project.

In addition to having at least five years of industry experience in the administration of construction contracts, applicants for the CCCA designation must complete two courses:

1. Principles of Construction Documentation (PCD) - Prerequisite to CCA
2. Construction Contract Administration (CCA) 
   

Course 2: Construction Contract Administration (CCA) 

Contract administration involves making decisions and the timely flow of information to enable completion of the project as required by the contract documents including review and observation of the construction project. This is important to the Owner and Consultant to determine  the work is proceeding in conformity with the contract documents and because it allows a final opportunity to detect any inaccuracies, ambiguities or inconsistencies in the design.

The objective of this course is to improve construction contract administration by providing education related to the administration and enforcement of contract requirements during the construction phase of the project.

This advanced level course will take the individual beyond the concepts previously introduced in the PCD course. Although some of the same topics are included in this course, the depth of understanding and explanation exceed that of the PCD course.

Topics:

• Construction Industry participants
• Bidding Requirements and Process
• Alternatives and Substitutions
• Standards and Regulatory Influences
• Site Activities
• Execution of the Work
• Certificate of Payment
• Changes in the Work
• Dispute Resolution
• Construction Insurance
• Construction Surety Bonds
• Guaranties and Warranties
• Project Submittal
• Field Services and Quality Control
• Clerk of the Works
• Contract Close-Out
• Commissioning
• Definitions and Resources

Note: The  PCD course must be completed prior to taking the CCA course. Contact Peggy at peggy@winnipegconstruction.ca for options.
