Interpreting & Understanding Legal Contracts for Construction

Contracts can be as important to the construction project as bricks and mortar. While most contractors use a pre-printed form, it is critical that the contractor understand what the clauses mean, when they are applicable and how they can affect the parties involved. You will learn valuable information that you will utilize in your work.
