The purpose of this gathering was to discuss and make the participants reflect on the adoption and use of a lexicon that goes hand in hand with the Latin American expert environment. Design a glossary where it is verified that the meanings and interpretations of each concept are clearly understood. To do this, the terminology would have to be built by adapting the terms of each specialty, covering both Spanish and English and thus having its translation at hand.

We invite you to enjoy this interesting talk with these excellent exponents in each of their specialties. Hoping to awaken in you concern about the creation of a common language that brings together the ideas and terminology around our professional field, to improve communication between our members and in general in the entire expert field of Construction Contracts.
