North Carolina State University (NCSU) offers a certificate in Construction Project Management. I have not yet decided if or when I plan to complete the series, but I have decided that some of the seminars could be quite useful. As an example, on Monday August 3rd, I attended the seminar on contracts and negotiations. It was mainly an explanation of common aspects of contracts, their implications, and why one might include them. We got to go over some examples, at which point I found out that the contracts that I had reviewed at The John R. McAdams Company had been based on the documents provided by the Engineers Joint Contracts Document Committee (EJCDC). We also found out where to get sample documents, from which we could draft our own.
