Construction Contract Issues?

Not all contracts set the foundation for project success. When issues such as liability, risk allocation and disputes are not clearly defined and explained in the contract, it can lead to excess costs.

Download this white paper to learn how using standardized contracts set the foundation that makes good business sense.
