Construction contract fundamentals: Enhancing project success

October 28, 2025 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
In today’s complex construction landscape, a project’s success depends not only on execution but also on the strength and clarity of its contractual foundation. This complimentary CPE webinar explores why performing a thorough construction contract analysis and risk assessment—built on top of several strong building blocks placed prior to this stage—is essential to managing financial exposure, ensuring project delivery aligns with expectations and mitigating disputes.
Baker Tilly presenters will discuss how a detailed review of construction contracts—focusing on cost of work definition, scope clarification, payment terms, change order provisions and risk allocation—can uncover vulnerabilities before they affect project performance.
Learning objectives:
- Identify weak or ambiguous terms along with associated risks
- Develop audit strategies to enhance contract controls
- Improve contract terms to strengthen contract oversight
- Prepare for success before starting the contract phase
