Managing Changes, Change Orders, and Construction Directives
William N. Bernstein, AIA, LEED AP - President of project management company Empire Projects, Inc. - was one of the panelists at a CMMA webinar on "Managing Changes, Change Orders, and Construction Directives'.
As described on the CMAA site (https://www.cmaanet.org/elearning/managing-changes-change-orders-and-construction-directives), this webinar involved the following topics:
"Changes and the resulting change orders and construction directives are common sources of delays and disruptions during a construction project and require understanding and management by the project team. Now that many construction projects are remobilizing and are under new health and safety protocol, navigating changes is more important than ever. The panel includes a construction manager/claims consultant, construction attorney, and owners rep/project manager who will discuss protocol and best practices under an ever changing job site environment."
The other panelists were Rocco Vespe and Mark Bloom. Mr. Vesper is a principal at HKA (https://www.hka.com/expert-post/rocco-r-vespe/) and Mr. Bloom is a partner at Arent Fox (https://www.arentfox.com/attorneys/mark-bloom).
