Fundamentals of Construction Contract Administration
Wednesday, March 18, 2026 | 2-3:30pm ET
This course provides an overview of construction contract administration and introduces relevant topics encountered during the construction phase, including effective communication and preparation, submittals, requests for information, modifications, site visits, and more. This course establishes a foundation of fundamental knowledge to launch or refresh one's CCA career.
Participants will leave this course with best practices and insight into how they can successfully lead a project through construction contract administration. They will be equipped with a skill set that includes knowledge of fundamentals, contract language, and pitfalls to be aware of during construction. Participants will be better prepared for their career progression, client conversations, and construction growth.
This is the first of several courses in a series developed by the Construction Contract Adminstration (CCA) knowledge community focused on demystifying CCA. Later courses in this series will dive deeper into various aspects of risk identification and mitigation.
