Topic: Standard Form Contracts: What Are They and How Do I Choose
Time: 12:00PM - 1:00PM
Summary: Standard form contracts are a dime a dozen in the construction industry. From AIA and DBIA to AGC and EJCDC, navigating and selecting a contract can be overwhelming and problematic if left unrevised. This presentation will look at some of the most commonly used standard form contracts in North Carolina and the difference between them while providing attendees with some key factors to consider in selecting a contract. Additionally, this presentation will consider the importance of reviewing and revising standard form contracts by discussing several key provisions found in many standard form contracts.
