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 the core concepts, terminology and working principles related to Engineering & Construction Contracts.
- Apply structured methods and industry good practices for Contract-law principles relevant to engineering and construction, Common-law and civil-law approaches, and Procurement and contract models.
- Evaluate relevant project management situations and identify risks, gaps and improvement opportunities.
- Translate the learning into practical workplace actions and sound technical decisions.
COURSE OUTCOME
Upon completion, participants will be better prepared to:
- Assess relevant workplace situations using the concepts and methods covered in Engineering & Construction Contracts.
- Select and apply appropriate tools, checks or controls for Contract-law principles relevant to engineering and construction, Common-law and civil-law approaches, and Procurement and contract models.
