Most projects are a complicated, one-time only performance by a one-time only ensemble carried out in a never-before used place. Given that newness, it isn't unusual to have some bumps and bruises along the path. Design and construction are both science and art. Human ingenuity and technology the science - have provided a wide array of tools and techniques to do and make projects better. There are also certain understood (sometimes unspoken) expectations and intentions regarding their use - the art. Together science and art become the custom and practice of the industry. Custom and practice create an understood standard of action or care, which professionals are expected to meet in the performance of their duties. But remember, projects can be complicated things. One person's expectations may not align exactly with another person's intentions. Stuff happens - and stuff always has a story to tell. This program's mock arbitration scenario will feature our esteemed team of professionals to represent the engineer, the owner and the contractor - and their respective legal counsels - to tell their side of the story.
