January 29: Terminating a Construction Project Before Completion: Do’s, Don’ts, Claims & Litigation Webinar

Construction is expensive, and the spectrum of professional practice varies wildly. While some professionals uphold the industry’s gold standards, others can be disappointing at best and criminally negligent at worst. In some cases, a judgement call must be made to terminate a project prior to completion. Unfortunately, this process is usually expensive and complicated.

It is possible to ease the stress of ending a project by using a standard structure that considers the contract documents, construction industry standards, and the “iron triangle” (scope, budget, and schedule with quality at the core) of project management. This structure does not magically make termination quick and cheap, but it does make the process as efficient and painless as possible. No matter what stage of a construction project-gone-bad you are in, remember you are not trapped. You can always negotiate from a position of strength.

"Terminating a Construction Project Before Completion" is for everyone involved in the business of building or buildings, including property owners & managers, governmental organizations, developers, contractors, insurers, lawyers, and anyone else caught up in the headaches of a project that has gone wrong or has already been terminated. The course will explain the roles and responsibilities of the different parties who contribute to a construction project, teach our Construction Claim Analysis framework, and review case studies that demonstrate successful project termination from the perspective of both owners and subcontractors.

Program Outline:
  • Introduction.
  • Contracting 101.
  • Construction Claim Analysis Framework.
  • Read the Full Contract.
  • Calculating Damages.
  • Salvaging a Project.
  • Conclusion.
Learning Objectives:
  • Review the basic roles & responsibilities in construction.
  • Learn a framework for analyzing a construction claim.
  • Discuss how damages are calculated after a contract is terminated.
  • Strategize how one might salvage a construction project rather than terminate.
  • Review case studies and real world examples of projects that were terminated before completion.

September 10: Engineering Expert Reports or Testimony for Impact Claims

Description:
Construction litigation is inherently complex, relying on expert witnesses to bridge the critical gap between technical project facts and legal arguments. Designed for attorneys and insurance professionals, this program addresses the vital role experts play in surviving procedural challenges and proving defect or delay claims. Our multidisciplinary panel featuring veteran building consultants, a forensic accountant, and seasoned trial attorneys brings decades of firsthand experience to help effectively deploy experts without risking case dismissal due to technicalities.

This webinar covers the complete lifecycle of expert witness engagement, starting with strategic selection and vetting. Attendees will learn how to establish bulletproof methodological reliability using industry standards like AACE 29R-03 and ASTM E620-18 to withstand strict Daubert scrutiny. The presentation will also detail the role of the economic damages expert, how to strategically leverage non-testifying consulting experts to shape pre-trial discovery, and best practices for preparing experts to deliver compelling, jargon-free testimony at deposition and trial.

Outline:
  • Introduction.
  • Selection & Vetting of Experts.
  • Establishing Reliable Methodology.
  • The Role of the Economic Damages Expert.
  • Pre-Trial Strategy & Depositions.
  • Trial Testimony & Cross Examination.
  • Conclusion.
Learning Objectives:
  • Identify and properly vet the right construction expert for your specific case by spotting advocacy red flags and prioritizing methodological reliability to survive Daubert challenges.
  • Apply transparent industry methodologies such as AACE 29R-03, the Measured Mile, and ASTM E620-18 to bridge the analytical gap between raw project facts and admissible conclusions.
  • Integrate engineering and economic damages experts to ensure technical inputs feed into a cohesive damages model.
  • Deploy non-testifying consulting experts strategically to shape discovery, draft deposition questions, and pressure-test case theory.
  • Navigate depositions and trial testimony by cultivating a personable teacher persona and cross-examining opposing experts effectively.
