Recent cases have highlighted the risks of the two roles being conflated and, in particular, allegations of Principals and other ‘contracting’ parties engaging in conduct which calls into question the Superintendent’s independence.
Content
Superintendents are generally engaged by a Principal or other ‘contracting’ party to perform dual roles in service of their obligation to administer a construction contract:
The Superintendent acts as the agent of the Principal or ‘contracting’ party; and
The Superintendent performs independent certification functions, for example, valuing claims.
Who should attend?
Anyone interested!
Learning Outcomes
Matt and Lisa will discuss recent case trends and tips and tricks for Principals and other ‘contracting’ parties to ensure the Superintendent’s independence is preserved throughout the project.
