Let Your Contract Build the Strong Foundation for Your Services: Important Contract Terms for Structural Engineers Serving as Subconsultants
Kevin Sido and Elyse Ryan, Attorneys, Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP
Structural engineers know the importance of a strong foundation! But realize that your best services are easily undermined if constructed on a poor contract. Bargaining for the best agreement as a subconsultant can be difficult; an owner-architect agreement already in place can limit your ability to seek the best terms. Yet even when the opportunity arises to negotiate top terms, will you know what to accept and what to avoid? The speakers are experienced construction contract lawyers who will point out good contract terms you need—and bad terms you don’t want.

Project Management and Project Financial Indicators
John Geddie, President, Geddie & Associates Inc.
Project profitability can easily be eroded without proactive project management. Learn methods of properly scoping a project to ensure fees not only cover costs but provide a sufficient profit to the firm. Discover when and how to use value pricing, the appropriate use of contingency, and how to get clients to pay for additional services.

Course will award 2.0 hours of continuing education

Please note: This webinar is part of the Business of SE Series and is not included in the NCSEA Webinar Subscription. The registration fee for the series is $295 for members ($395 for nonmembers), which includes all 5.5 hours of education.
