This is it. The ultimate review for the back half of the semester. On this special Final Exam Edition of Send It, JC reviews the "Game Tape" for Modules 5, 6, and 7.

We are taking the hardest legal concepts and project management realities—from EPC contracts to Labor Laws—and breaking them down so you can ace this exam.

The "Stumpers" We Cover:

• The 35% Rule: Why a third of all projects experience major changes, and why both parties must sign the change order.
• EPC vs. EPCM: Understanding the difference between a "Turnkey/Lump Sum" contract and a strictly "Management/Design" role.
• Labor Law Traps: How the FSLA trumps state law on the 40-hour overtime rule, and the specific thresholds for school leave (16 hours) and pregnancy leave (25 employees).
• The 4 Typical Claims: We break down Delay, Damage, Price Acceleration, and Site Condition claims so you never mix them up.
• The Float Fight: Why project schedule "Float" is actually one of the leading causes of construction disputes.

From Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) to Site Safety Liability, this is your final check before you log in to take the test.

• On this Deep Dive of Chapter 22, JC gets into the weeds of the Construction Claim. We explain the two pillars of every claim: Entitlement (Liability) and Quantum (Damages). Plus, we teach you the "Measured Mile" method—the only way to truly prove that the owner's chaos destroyed your productivity.

• On this Deep Dive of Chapter 19, JC breaks down one of the hardest claims to prove: Constructive Acceleration. Learn what happens when the Owner says "No" to a time extension but still demands the original completion date—and how to make them pay for the overtime.

• On this Deep Dive of Chapter 18, JC untangles the knot of Concurrent Delay. When the Owner is late approving plans AND your truck breaks down on the same day, who pays? We explain the "But-For" test and why concurrent delay usually results in a "draw" (Time but no Money).

• On this Deep Dive of Chapter 17, JC explains the most misunderstood term in the contract: Liquidated Damages. We explain why courts hate "penalties" but love LDs, and how Force Majeure (Acts of God) can save you from paying them.

• On this episode of Send It, JC teaches you how to get paid when the job goes sideways. We cover Module 7 (Chapters 17, 18, 19, & 22). Learn why Liquidated Damages aren't technically a penalty, what happens when both sides delay the job (Concurrent Delay), and how to prove a Constructive Acceleration claim when the owner refuses to give you more time.

• On this Deep Dive of Chapter 20, JC puts on the judge's robe. When the contract is unclear, who wins? We break down the "Hierarchy of Intent", the Parol Evidence Rule, and the critical doctrine of Contra Proferentem—the rule that says if you wrote the confusing clause, you lose the argument.

• On this Deep Dive of Chapter 21, JC explains why the "pen is mightier than the shovel." We discuss the "Put-It-In-Writing" Rule and the legal concept of Hearsay. Learn why your daily job logs are admissible in court (the Business Records Exception) and why waiting until the end of the week to write your reports destroys your credibility.

• On this Deep Dive of Chapter 6, JC navigates the complex world of Labor Agreements. We explain the Hiring Hall, the Subcontracting Clause (and why it’s controversial), and the strategic difference between a Strike and a Lockout. Whether you are Open Shop or Union, you need to know the rules of the road.

• On this episode of Send It, JC covers the "Admin Trinity": Labor, Law, and Logs. We break down Module 6 (Chapters 6, 20, & 21). Learn why Union "Hiring Halls" matter, how judges interpret ambiguous contracts (hint: if you wrote it, you lose), and why your daily job logs are the only thing keeping you out of the "Hearsay" trap in court.
