FMI: Project Manager Academy, In-Person 4-Day Event 12/7/2021 8:00 - 12/10/2021 18:00

Project Manager Academy is four days of tough, no-nonsense, total immersion into the business of construction that will fast-forward all attendees’ knowledge, decision-making skills and leadership abilities so they leave the academy thinking and acting like construction entrepreneurs for every project. The greatest distinction between project managers and entrepreneurs is how much personal stake the individual has in a project’s success. While both are self-directed to coordinate talents and resources in order to provide profitable customer service, entrepreneurs consider a project success, a personal success and a project failure, a personal failure. In short, entrepreneurs have a compelling sense of ownership in their work. Attitude of personal ownership toward a project sets a higher standard for performance.

Managing Subcontractor Default, Bankruptcy, and Owner Insolvency in a Recovering Post- COVID-19 Construction Economy: 1 Hr Webinar 12/15/2021 11:00 AM - 12/15/2021 12:00 Noon

How to Mitigate Risk When A Rising Tide May Not Lift All Boats

Pricing: $99.00

Members of a ConsensusDocs Coalition Organization Price: $79.00*

ConsensusDocs Subscriber Price: $49.00*

*You will need to utilize a custom coupon code at checkout to receive the discount.

Construction experience teaches us that an improving economy lifts some boats but may sink others. Ironically, the most vulnerable time for construction suppliers and trade contractors to fail is when the economy and construction activity improves.

Contractors are now navigating increased obstacles they have never faced before, such as the lingering effects of COVID-19; vaccine mandates; supply chain delays and disruptions; and the lack of necessary equipment, materials, and labor workforce – any one of which, alone, could threaten the performance and existence of previously-healthy companies.

This 90-minute webinar will explore how these dangers, if not correctly and proactively addressed, could lead to an increasing number of subcontractor defaults and bankruptcies; how subcontractor defaults and bankruptcies may impact a contractor and its projects; and what contractors should do to mitigate and manage these critical risks, including the risk of non-payment from a financially distressed owner.

You will learn:
• Best practices to prequalify your partners to minimize the risks
• Tell-tale signs of financial distress; and proactive steps you should take to mitigate this risk once it arises
• Insights reflected in newly revised ConsensusDocs performance and payment bond forms that provide innovative provisions you should consider incorporating.
