Fulfilling Florida contractors’ continuing education requirements . . . in Charlotte, NC

By Anonymous -


You might not normally think of taking a trip to Charlotte, NC, to obtain course credits for your Florida contractor’s licence.

Well, in fact you can obtain four course hours there on July 19, thanks to Shumaker Loop & Kendrick LLP.

“That is correct. There is no need to travel to Florida. We are offering four credit hours to Florida construction license holders in Charlotte,” writes Shumaker director of marketing Jennifer Malin. Of course, her communication was intended for Charlotte-area contractors — but since the event is held in a hotel, a Florida contractor wishing a North Carolina experience could easily combine the program with some personal time, perhaps to visit the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

The program includes:
  • The ABC’s of Florida Construction Lien Law (one hour business practice)
  • Contract Changes, Constructive Changes (one hour general)
  • Differing Site Conditions (one hour general)
  • Chapter 558 and other Notable Dispute Resolutions Provisions (one hour general)

The courses, which starts at 8 a.m. with registration and breakfast, conclude at 12:50 p.m. at the Embassy Suites Charlotte on South Tryon St.

One of those options for construction companies is to simply stop work, but contractors need to take care when making such a big decision. “Stopping work and ultimately terminating the contract is one of the most radical things you can do,” said Joseph McManus Jr., attorney and shareholder at law firm Carlton Fields.   Luckily, most of the circumstances under which contractors are clearly entitled to stop work are included in the most popular standard forms of contracts. Nonpayment The most common reason that contractors find it necessary to stop work, McManus said, is that they haven’t been paid for approved invoices. In that scenario, he said, contractors have the right to

The use of "mass-timber," or prefabricated engineered wood components is becoming more common in construction and roofing applications in Europe.
