From breaking ground to ribbon cutting, legal risks and challenges can arise at any stage of a construction project— threatening timelines, budgets, and reputations. To help you navigate those challenges, the AGCs of Washington and Alaska present Dirt to Done: a three-part, hands-on educational series designed for mid- to senior-level construction professionals who want to deepen their understanding of construction law and risk management. Led by seasoned industry professionals, the series covers project fundamentals; key contract provisions; and practical strategies for allocating, managing, and mitigating risks.
The construction sector is facing a significant skills gap and labor shortage as experienced professionals retire. Dirt to Done supports emerging leaders in developing the competencies needed to advance their careers. Whether you own or manage a small or mid-sized construction company and are preparing to take on more complex projects, or you are a project engineer or manager seeking expanded responsibilities, this series will equip you with the tools to effectively manage contracting challenges and successfully drive projects to completion.
