On Wednesday May 15th, at the Vancouver Club, the BC Construction Roundtable will host a roundtable discussion on claims avoidance to support learning and dialogue between owners, consultants, general contractors, and others in the construction industry. Attendees will participate in table group discussions to provide input and inform the discussion. A facilitator and a recorder will be at each table to guide and support the dialogue.
Table discussion themes will be documented and consolidated into white papers to be shared with attendees and BCCR members. A debrief and networking session will follow the table discussions. The ticket price includes two drinks tickets and canapes.
