What to expect from this course
At 50% of the PMI-CP exam, Contract & Risk Management is the most critical domain — and the one with the highest real-world stakes. Construction projects live and die by contracts. A misread clause, a missed change order deadline, or an unmanaged risk can cost your organization hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of litigation.
Duvoll Education framework for this domain is built directly from PMI's Construction Professional standards and covers the full contract and risk lifecycle: understanding and administering construction contracts, managing obligations, monitoring performance, handling changes and claims, ensuring compliance, and proactively identifying and mitigating risks before they become problems.
At Duvoll Education, we ground every concept in real construction scenarios from the Mid-South — commercial builds, infrastructure projects, healthcare facilities, and government contracts where contract disputes and risk events are not hypothetical. They happen every day.
Whether you take this as a standalone workshop or as part of your full PMI-CP Boot Camp, you will leave with the contract knowledge and risk management tools to protect your projects, your team, and your career.
