Team Construction Contract Training

Contracts are the foundation of every construction project—and knowing how to review and manage them efficiently is critical for your team’s success. My Team Contract Training is designed to give your team the tools and confidence they need to own their contracts, protect your business, and eliminate unnecessary risks.

This isn’t just a training session—it’s a hands-on, practical approach to mastering subcontracts.

Choose from a half-day or full-day training session based on your team’s needs:

• Half-Day Option: We’ll go line-by-line through one subcontract, teaching your team how to spot risks, identify key provisions, and efficiently review an entire contract.
• Full-Day Option: We’ll dive into two subcontracts, giving your team the opportunity to see how different contracts vary and apply the lessons learned across multiple agreements.

In either option, your team will learn:

• How to efficiently review an entire subcontract without wasting time on provisions that don’t matter.
• What key provisions have the biggest impact on your business and why they matter.
• How to apply the OWN framework to optimize, weigh, and negotiate each provision to protect your company.

The OWN framework is the core of my approach to contract management, giving your team a systematic way to evaluate and negotiate contract terms:

• Optimize: Spot risky language, evaluate provisions, and redline clauses to align with your company’s best interests. Your team will learn how to fine-tune contracts to reduce exposure and set the stage for better outcomes.
• Weigh: Analyze the potential impact of each provision. This step teaches your team how to assess the risks, benefits, and interplay between contract clauses, so they can prioritize which changes are critical and which are negotiable.
• Negotiate: Develop persuasive strategies to communicate proposed changes. Your team will gain skills to effectively negotiate terms, get redlines accepted, and maintain collaborative relationships with clients and partners.

By the end of the training, your team will know how to apply the OWN framework across real-world contracts, ensuring they’re making informed decisions that safeguard your business.

Contracts can feel overwhelming, but they don’t have to be. By focusing on real-world examples and taking a hands-on approach, this training ensures that your team not only learns the skills but also feels confident applying them. We’ll focus on:

• Practical Application: This isn’t theory. Your team will work through actual subcontracts to see how the concepts apply in the real world.
• Efficient Review Processes: Learn how to cut through the noise and focus on the clauses that matter most.
• Actionable Strategies: Equip your team with the tools to confidently review, redline, and negotiate contracts moving forward.

This training is ideal if:

• Your team members are responsible for reviewing and negotiating contracts but feel unsure of how to approach them.
• You’ve encountered issues with unfavorable terms or overlooked risks in the past.
• You want your team to feel confident identifying key provisions, making informed decisions, and protecting your company’s interests.
• You’re ready to eliminate inefficiencies in the contract review process and reduce dependency on external legal support.

Whether you’re looking for a refresher or starting from scratch, this training will empower your team to take control of your contracts and protect your business.
