INTRODUCTION

Building construction plays a vital role in the successful execution of the corporate objectives of many organisations. Whether it’s to create a new production plant, to accommodate workers temporarily during a development or even to build a new corporate headquarters, construction is often the key element of the overall project.

But construction projects frequently go over budget or miss their initial completion dates through poor management by the client. Some contractors identify these management weaknesses and are highly effective at increasing their own margins by making claims for additional project time and/or additional costs. Indeed, it is not unknown for contractors to bid very low to win the work and then seek to make the project profitable through the skilful adoption of a process to make claims.

Employers that can keep a tight grip on this process, by controlling changes to what they require and by actively managing how their contractors perform, will have a better programme delivery experience. They will reduce claims for extensions of time, additional costs, and the potential for disputes, thus improving the chances of timely completion and cost-effective delivery.

Drawing on best practices with international construction contracts, such as those from FIDIC or NEC, this seminar identifies how your organisation can balance risk using the most appropriate contracting strategy and focuses on how best to make or defend your project from claims and deliver it on time and on budget. It also features how to monitor and manage performance failures, and provides tools, tips and techniques on effective resolution of disputes.

This seminar will highlight:

  • The use of different procurement and contracting strategies
  • Handling key risk areas in the procurement process
  • Managing principal claims issues
  • How change can be best managed
  • Ways to deal with performance failures
  • Managing construction claims and resolving disputes
