This practical workshop is designed to help construction professionals confidently read, interpret, and manage construction contracts. Participants learn how contract provisions work in practice, how to spot risk, and how to apply essential tools to prevent disputes, delays, and unexpected cost exposure.

Designed for project managers, coordinators, site leaders, project owners, and anyone responsible for administering construction contracts in Ontario, especially those without a legal background.

We will cover:

• How to read your contract with confidence: Understanding scope, price, timelines, deliverables, and the clauses that drive project outcomes
• Navigating prompt payment rules, proper invoices, lien deadlines, holdbacks, and adjudication triggers.
• Managing project risk by documenting changes to prevent avoidable claims.
• Strengthening communication and documentation: Clarity, consistency and defined terms
• Applying drafting tips and best practices: Reviewing sample clauses and learning practical wording that reduces ambiguity and disputes
