2. Presentation: How to Avoid the Biggest Mistakes Property Owners Make When Negotiating Construction Contracts

Guest Speaker: Jeffrey H. Lerman, Esq.

Spring is here. That means property owners will soon start their remodeling and new construction projects. Of all the contracts real estate owners deal with, perhaps none are more likely to end up in a dispute than construction agreements. It seems like everybody has a contractor horror story. And the cost of not knowing what you're doing when you negotiate these contracts can be enormous.

Join us as The Real Estate Investor’s Lawyer Jeffrey H. Lerman delivers a valuable talk for property owners. Attendees will learn:

• The single most litigated provision in construction contracts and how to minimize your risk

• The best way to pay your contractor that he probably won’t tell you about

• The best provision to include to make sure your project doesn't drag on and on

• The critical language that amazingly is left out of the "standard form" construction agreement and that you must include to protect you if you need to sue your contractor

• The simple contract provision that can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars--you must add this to your contract

• How to manage your construction project to avoid expensive unpleasant surprises

• And much, much more!!
