Design and construction phase services include multiple duties and responsibilities, all of which should be documented in the regular course of project management. Proper documentation of a project also manages the design professional's, the project owner's and to some extent the public's interests and risks. This workshop will discuss the importance and types of project documentation, and outline tools and strategies for proper documentation of a successful project from design through construction contract administration.

Education Level: Advanced

Ideal Audience: All principals, partners, executives, contract officers, project managers, and other technical personnel who have client contact or project responsibilities.
