Contractors’ Duties to Investigate Before Construction Begins

This podcast addresses contractors’ duties to investigate a worksite before construction begins. Randy Ruff and Jonathan Mraunac discuss the importance of reviewing design documents and studying field conditions prior to bidding on a job, what can happen when contractors fail to conduct adequate walk-throughs, the type of information owners must disclose to bidding contractors, and who bears the risk if an issue is discovered later in the process.
