Facilities Contract Management

FMGT 53000/ 3 Cr.

This course will teach you the basics of contracts. The purpose of the course is not to teach you how to write contracts (that is what lawyers do). Instead, you will learn key principles of contract law so that you can better understand how an agreement is made and what terms become part of that agreement. Knowledge from this course will help the facility manager navigate the contractual process, from negotiating terms to dealing with potential disputes. Areas of focus will include real estate contracts, negotiations, managing risks and disputes, and the uniform commercial code. An emphasis will also be placed on contracts related to construction projects.
