Episode 34: Seven deadly words

In Episode 34 of "Talk to Me About A&E," Dan Buelow brings back Dale Munhall for a follow up discussion on their two part CA series, "Why we no longer stamp shop drawings".  In this episode Dale reviews his "Seven Deadly Words" and discusses the importance of avoiding specific words in contract documents that imply unauthorized changes by architects and engineers. The CA process is often vague and misunderstood and words can create significant liabilities and misunderstandings in contract administration.  Dan and Dale discuss the importance of effective communication and documentation in order to maintain the integrity of the original contract terms.
