11. Things to remember-1  Construction operations… Cost control Performance control Charting cost & performance  Contracts & payments What is a contract Types of contracts… pros & cons, when used Progress payment process Problems with payments

12. Things to remember-2  Estimating… Definition Accuracy vs level of design Types of estimates – how calculated Time & location adjustments Scope, constructability, risk Estimating process Elements of cost  Changes & extra work What is a change & claim Types of changes Change order process

13. Things to remember-3  Claims & disputes… What is a claim or protest What are owners responses What are contractor’s responses What are compensable or non-compensable claims What is acceleration, when used, who pays What methods are available to resolve disputes Contract termination
