Consider Authoring a New Chapter in the Contractor Operations Manual

SMACNA is still seeking a consultant to author a new chapter in its Contractors Operations Manual titled “Best Practices in Defending Against Back Charges.” Proposals are being accepted until May 30^th

Back charges pose a significant financial and operational challenge to SMACNA members. These back charges – often arising from disputes over quality, scheduling, or scope changes—can erode profit margins, damage professional relationships, and create long-term business instability. To address these concerns, SMACNA seeks to commission this paper identifying effective strategies that member contractors can employ to protect themselves against unjustified or excessive back charges.
