Join us for a lively virtual panel discussion with industry leaders on the hot button issue of the rapid escalation of construction material and labor prices we are experiencing across the industry.
In addition to three attorneys from Jimerson Birr’s construction industry team, three guest panelists will share insight, implications, trends, and best practices from the unique perspectives of general contractors, trade subcontractors, and material suppliers.
Key issues that will be covered include:
- Industry trends and where things may be headed related to construction material and labor prices
- Tips on ways to plan and prepare for escalating prices in the current volatile market environment
- Ways to try to hedge and protect yourself in bids and contract negotiations
- What to do if prices materially escalate mid-stream during the course of a project
Partners James O. “Joby” Birr and Austin B. Calhoun will lead the panel discussion and offer legal expertise on key issues impacting the industry. They will be joined by industry leaders Carson McCall (Perry-McCall Construction), David Sheffield (Coastal Construction Products), and Brent Zimmerman (Miller Electric Company).
