Superintendent Course

Why Do I Need This Course?
The MMCD is the contract of choice of most BC municipalities. Therefore construction superintendents should know the responsibilities and advantages that flow from the documents. By attending this course, you will better appreciate how the MMCD contract works and how you can improve your chances of making or saving money.

Some BC Municipalities are moving towards contract requirements for Superintendents to be Gold Seal qualified. The MMCD Superintendent Course may help with this Gold Seal requirement.
You need to attend this course if you are uncertain about:
- the ways to minimize your risk taking during bidding and construction;
- the difference between a Change, Extra Work and Quantity Variation and how to cost each;
- how to calculate allowable mark ups on Force Account work;
- how to protect yourself when submitting a quotation for a Change or Extra;
- what protection the contract provides against Concealed & Unknown Conditions and unexpected discovery of hazardous materials;
- the contract procedures dealing with Changes;
- the contract procedures to fairly and quickly resolve Disputes;
- how you might inadvertently waive your right to make claims;
