18 - 19 AUGUST 2026
14 PDU Approved by PMI
COURSE INTRODUCTION
This programme gives engineers, project teams and contract personnel a practical understanding of the legal and commercial principles that shape engineering and construction contracts. Participants examine procurement models, risk allocation, common contractual issues and project-risk scenarios so they can recognise obligations, manage exposure and support better contract decisions.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:
- Explain contract-law principles that affect engineering and construction projects.
- Distinguish common-law and civil-law approaches to contractual obligations.
- Compare traditional, design-and-build and EPC procurement models.
- Evaluate how scope, design, time, cost and performance risks are allocated.
- Recognise common contractual issues when project risks materialise.
- Apply contract concepts to practical engineering and construction scenarios.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This programme is suitable for project, engineering, construction, commercial and contract managers; contract engineers; planners; quantity surveyors; cost professionals; consultants; and legal personnel supporting engineering or construction projects.
