Construction projects involve large capital sums, and strong commercial management is essential to success. The construction contract monitors, controls and administers the project and also defines the relationship between client, consultant and contractor.
Construction projects involve large capital sums, and strong commercial management is essential to success. The construction contract monitors, controls and administers the project and also defines the relationship between client, consultant and contractor.
Despite a common aim to “get finished on time and get value for money” many projects take longer than programmed and cost considerably more than the original budget.
It is therefore essential that all those involved have a clear commercial understanding of construction contracts, the law that underpins them and how they operate in practice.
This one day course has been specifically developed to provide you with a high level of commercial and contractual understanding and the confidence to use it in practice.
It has three key themes that deliver the knowledge and ability for effective understanding and practical application of construction contracts:
• The law – General and contract
• The contracts – standard (NEC, ICE, JCT ) and bespoke
• The reality – What happens in practice
The route map for the day takes you through the sequential process from inception to project delivery from a contractual position. The main focus throughout is on practical application – what happens in reality, how to deal with it and key guidance on avoiding mistakes. Session include pre-start activities (appointments, insurance, warranties, guaranties and tendering) and also contract delivery (instructions, variations, payment and disputes).
The overarching emphasis is to equip you with an awareness and understanding of operation to identify, mitigate and prevent contractual problems on your projects
The presentations are underpinned throughout by discussion, case study and considered opinion. The course is applicable across the construction sector, whether you work in client, consultant or contractor role.
The tutor is a civil engineer with more than 25 years’ experience, including fifteen years as a geotechnical specialist. He has worked for client, consultant and contractor organisations as well as spending a significant period as an academic at a leading university undertaking research, teaching and consulting activities.
He has founded one and contributed to the establishment of two further geotechnical practices and is currently a Commercial and Technical Director of a specialist geotechnical consultancy.

It is reported that the total cost of poor and inefficient control of construction quality costs a lot. Sometimes, it is more than the total combined profits of all the companies involved in the construction.
The aim for this CDM training is to ensure everyone involved in a construction project understands their roles and responsibilities and knows how to fulfil them in a safe and effective manner.
This HNC in Construction Management - with HTQ status - aims to develop students as professional, self-reflecting individuals; well-equipped to meet the demands of the construction sector and able to adapt to a constantly-changing world.
This awareness course covers the core concepts of the regulations and details the various roles that are required for a construction project along with the key documents that need to be produced.
This course can be tailored to fit your company or personal requirements. At a minimum it will outline the main requirements of the regulations and duty holder responsibilities. Focus can then be tailored to suit your role within the CDM process.
