ROCKVILLE, MD—The 2020 edition of the Mechanical Contractors Association of America’s (MCAA) highly regarded construction management publication, Change Orders, Productivity, Overtime—A Primer for the Construction Industry, has the full support of the American Subcontractors Association (ASA).

ASA supports the contents of the publication as being applicable to subcontractors, which sustain impacts to the same level and the same types, as the mechanical piping and plumbing trades. MCAA will make the publication available to ASA members at the MCAA member rate. 

This publication has become a standard in the construction industry and is widely relied upon bymechanical and other specialty contractors, attorneys in construction practices, and consultants.

In a new chapter, lead author Paul L. Stynchcomb, CCM, PSP, CFCC of Vero Construction Consultants Corp. discusses the essential concept of sharing the CPM schedule in its native form between all of the major trades on a construction project. It is the MCAA’s goal to make the construction management and scheduling process more transparent and effective on today’s complex and challenging construction projects, to the benefit of all of the parties to a construction contract. Lawrence M. Prosen, Esquire of Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton, LLP provided the case citations and some general commentary contained in some sections of the chapter.

This latest chapter, like the others in the publication, was peer reviewed by a panel of industry professionals. Peer review was performed by Robert Beck, President/CEO of John W. Danforth Company in Tonawanda, NY; Rick Freeman, Executive Vice President, Southern Insulation, Inc. in Hyattsville, MD; Brian Helm, President of The Helm Group in Freeport, IL; and Denis St. Pierre, Executive Vice President & COO of Alterman in Austin, TX.
