SUMMARY:Strategic Negotiation Workshop: Negotiating Techniques for Project Managers
DESCRIPTION:Strategic Negotiation Workshop: Negotiating Techniques for Project Managers \nLIVESTREAM\nJohn Koontz\nWednesday\, September 30\, 2026\n7:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. MST\nMember: Free\nNon-Member: $179 \nWho should attend: This course is intended for experienced Project Managers with more than 5 years of experience.\nThis workshop-based class is specific to the role of a project manager in the mechanical contracting industry and is designed to help mid-level to senior project managers develop their overall project negotiating abilities. This class is created to be a follow-up to the class titled “Negotiating: Basic Negotiating Skills for PM’s”. After a short remedial lecture which re-acquaints the class with the basic concepts and principles of negotiating\, participants will be divided into groups to engage in simulated negotiations with predefined objectives. Most of the class will focus on role-playing simulations. After each roleplay\, participants will receive structured feedback on their performance and strategies for improvement. Examples of real-life scenarios could include\, but will not be limited to: supplier delivery problems\, subcontractor performance and/or payment issues\, change order negotiation with a client\, schedule compression or acceleration negotiation with a GC and/or CM\, payment and/or non-payment issues\, issues between you and your foreman and other labor and performance related issues\, etc.

SUMMARY:Foreman Training 5: Project Documentation: The Field Leaders Role/ Managing Our Subcontractors – The Field Leaders Role
DESCRIPTION:Foreman Training 5: Project Documentation: The Field Leaders Role/Managing Our Subcontractors – The Field Leaders Role\nLIVESTREAM\nJohn Koontz\nThursday\, October 1\, 2026\n7:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. MST\nMember: Free\nNon-Member: $179 \nThis class will specifically examine the Field Leaders role in creating an ongoing written “first-hand account” of all significant project events that is clear\, accurate\, and complete. When done well\, the Field Leader will provide their contractor with a powerful and nearly indisputable historical account of the project. The steps for planning and implementing the documentation process for a mechanical construction project will be reviewed and methods for improving the process will be discussed. The instructor will provide guidance\, best practices\, and expertise in the areas of Contractual Notice\, Foreman Daily Logs\, Photographs and Videos\, Meeting Minutes\, Follow-up Emails\, Change Management\, Field Authorization\, Schedule Issues\, Weather\, Professionalism\, Material Deliveries\, etc.\nSubcontractors represent a significant portion of most mechanical contracts\, and the performance of our subcontractors is a direct reflection of our own performance in the eyes of an owner\, construction manager\, or general contractor. On most projects\, especially smaller and midsize projects\, the field leader becomes so focused on crew leadership\, material expediting\, and work planning for our self-performed work that the performance and progress of our subcontractors’ work is often overlooked until problems arise. The field leaders focused\, and effective daily on-site management of subcontractors is necessary to prevent unforeseen problems and ensure project success. In this session the instructor will provide attendees with an understanding of the importance of developing trust-based relationships with subcontractors and will provide methods and best practices for successful subcontractor management.

SUMMARY:Project Management 8:  Effective Project Documentation: Managing Risk
DESCRIPTION:Project Management 8: Effective Project Documentation: Managing Risk\nLIVESTREAM\nJohn Koontz\nFriday\, October 2\, 2026\n7:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. MST\nMember: Free\nNon-Member: $179 \nThis class focuses on the critical role that documentation plays in managing risk\, protecting productivity and profitability\, and supporting successful project outcomes. Attendees will learn what to document\, when to document it\, and how to create clear\, professional records that fulfill both practical and contractual requirements. The class emphasizes timely cause-and-effect documentation—linking actions\, events\, and impacts—as a key tool in avoiding disputes\, supporting claims\, and maintaining control throughout the project. Attendees will also gain a solid understanding of how to identify and comply with documentation requirements found in construction contracts\, including notice provisions\, recordkeeping expectations\, change order management\, and communication standards. Topics include RFIs\, keeping a journal\, change order documentation\, delay notices\, meeting minutes\, daily logs\, photographs and videos\, and follow-up emails. In addition\, the instructor will stress the importance of open and continuous communication between the project manager and the field leader (foreman)\, ensuring that information from the field is documented accurately and timely. Through real-world examples and proven best practices\, this class will help project managers develop consistent documentation practices that reduce risk\, improve communication\, maintain positive relationships\, and strengthen project execution.
