SUMMARY:Bluebeam for Office Administrators
DESCRIPTION:Day-to-day operational work on all our documents\, markups\, and forms tends to fall squarely on the shoulders of our administrative staff. Unfortunately\, we don’t always provide them with the tools and training courses they need to get that work done effectively. Bluebeam Revu is the most used software in the design/build world and it’s not just for estimators and project managers. Office administrative staff can see just as much\, if not more\, benefit from working inside Bluebeam Revu as anyone in your company. Addressing edits and markups\, creating fillable forms\, stamping documents\, and even comparing versions are all vital tools that administrators in your firm need and this class is designed to show them how to use the same Bluebeam software you use in all other aspects of your work\, to do just that. \nZenTek Consultants\, a certified Bluebeam Partner\, will show you the most effective means of using the software you already own\, so you can get the ROI you were hoping for. This eight (8) hour Bluebeam Revu training course for office administrators is delivered in four (4)\, two-hour long sessions that students can attend online\, right from their own desk. A live instructor will explain the detailed functions\, and address questions as the class progresses. \n​​Note: Instructor will be using Bluebeam Revu Complete 21 and some tools shown may not be available in Revu Basics or Core. Looking for this class in Bluebeam Revu 2017\, 2018\, 2019\, or 20?

SUMMARY:Dealing with Delays from Contract Negotiations To Claims
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will provide strategies for contractors to protect themselves against the impacts of delays and will identify practical steps that a contractor can take at various stages of a project\, from bid to close-out\, to increase the contractor’s chances of successfully obtaining additional time and compensation.  The strategies presented will include: \n\naddressing schedule requirements at the proposal stage and negotiating contract language to reduce the risk of cost impacts associated with material shortages\, force majeure\, changes\, unforeseen conditions\, delays cause by others\, and non-excusable delays attributable to the contractor;\ndocumentation practices during the performance of the work to avoid contractual pitfalls and effectively supporting claims for additional time and compensation; and\,\nsuccessfully resolving disputes and pursuing claims for additional time and compensation as a result of delay and impacts.\n\n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nProvide an understanding of basic “delay” related terminology;\nPresent bidding and pre-construction strategies to mitigate delay and impact risk;\nIdentify key contract language posing risk in relation to delays and impacts;\nProvide guidance on why and how certain standard contract language (i.e. “no damages for delay” clauses and liquidated damages clauses) should be modified in pre-contract negotiations;\nOutline steps for effectively documenting delay during construction to support requests for additional time and money;\nIdentify contractual pitfalls to be avoided during construction to preserve the contractor’s rights to additional time and money; and\,\nProvide guidance on proactively addressing disputes during performance of the work and after completion.\n\n  \nPresenter Information: Construction attorney and ABC Member J.T. Gallagher of Hendrick\, Phillips\, Salzman & Siegel\, P.C. began working in construction in the Lehigh Valley as a plumber’s helper during high school and has been working in the industry ever since.  After obtaining his B.S. in Building Construction from the University of Florida and working for several years in construction project management\, J.T. obtained his J.D.\, with honors\, from Emory University School of Law.  He now specializes in complex construction litigation and utilizes his industry experience to effectively represents contractors\, subcontractors\, specialty trade contractors\, design professionals\, and owners in relation to all aspects of public and private construction projects.
