Construction Contracts Masterclass: Developing & Managing Successful Construction Contracts

Engineering and construction projects have a history of contractual disputes and conflict. These problems have reduced the efficiency and profitability of developments, and have not been to the benefit of either clients or contractors. Both engineering and construction tend to attract contractual problems because of the complex nature of the work itself, and also the complicated commercial arrangements involved.

The purpose of this course is to help delegates understand the reasons why such problems arise, and how to avoid them in the future. Many contracts are now being conducted in a different way to the traditional approach, with more openness between the parties, and this has, in some cases at least, reduced conflict and increased profitability for all parties.
