Thursday, October 25, 2012 (Continued)The Union Agreement Says What?! How to Get the Job Done without Labor Problems 10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Construction projects are complex. They require financing, con-tracts, plan checks, permits, materials, scheduling & working with a lot of people! Most of those people will be craftspersons and how well they perform can make or break a job. Union contrac-tors generally have the luxury of a pool of skilled workers and labor agreements are part of the package. This hour long semi-nar will summarize the major points of common union agree-ments and give practical suggestions for how to navigate them. It will conclude with an interactive discussion and scenario where you are the site superintendent and think you need to fire a craftsperson. Grab your hardhat, this is real life!

California Construction Law: What’s New in Project Delivery and Mechanic’s Liens? 10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. On time, on budget construction happens in a legal framework whose bookends are the chosen project delivery method, which allocates risk, and the law of mechanics liens, which provides some security for payment. There are changes in how some California owners and contracts are structuring their agree-ments and how they allocate project risks. At the same time, the California legislature has recently overhauled and amended the law of mechanics liens. This seminar will provide background and context to help you evaluate changes that are happening in project delivery methods. It will also provide an update on recent changes in the law and suggest best practices for avoiding disputes.

Safety & Health Council Meeting11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.Please join us during the Safety and Health Council meeting for the seminar, Contractual Risk Transfer.

Do you know what you are signing, understand risk transfer mechanisms you should be requiring from others, have pre-qualification requirements for subcontracts or an efficient system in place for tracking policies? If you answered “no” to any of these questions this workshop is for you. Learn what you can do to protect our company from significant exposure to liability involving your contracted work and the work of others.

Friday, October 26, 2012 BIM: Taking it Beyond the Basics to Industry Best Practices 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. We have all heard about the use of Building Information Model-ing System (BIM). While the programs for this technology have been around for awhile, for the past few years, the industry has been focusing on “full building” BIM. One of the greatest benefits of this software is its ability to create a collaborative, virtual information base on a project that can shared and utilized by the architect, surveyors and engineers, contractors and subcon-tractors and finally the owners. Dynalectric, KDC Systems an electrical subcontractor and an EMCOR Company, is an industry leader in BIM utilization with their modeling efforts targeted at maximizing prefabrication to make their team more efficient so that they can deliver on time and under budget. Their latest efforts include embedding calculations into the BIM, creating code-checking objects and modeling everything, down to devices. This seminar will provide both a general overview and advanced information about Building Information Modeling (BIM). Including; how BIM is being used at Dynalectric and in today’s construction industry and how it affects you! Participants will walk away with a stronger knowledge base of BIM and best practices to share

with their companies.
