Getting Paid and Managing the Cash Flow (PM 1/2 Day)

Description

Payment in the construction industry is a problem. This create problems for both the Owner and the Contractor as well as the other participants involved with the project (Consultant, Subcontractors, Sub-Subcontractors, and Suppliers).

The Canadian Construction Documents Committee (CCDC) and the Canadian Construction Association (CCA) publish standard contracts and guides for the construction industry.

In this half-day workshop, the Payment Process in Standard Contracts (CCDC-2 Stipulated Price Contract, CCA-1 Stipulated Price Subcontract, CCA-19 Stipulated Price Sub-Subcontract) will be reviewed along with contract language from non- standard contracts which can delay payment.  Recent changes to the payment landscape due to Prompt Payment legislation in different jurisdictions will also be discussed.

It is important to recognize when your client is trying to work language into the contract which delays payment (Pay-if-Paid, Pay-when-Paid, “Notwithstanding” clauses).

• CCA 28 – A Guide to Improving Cash Flow in the Construction Industry
