Introduction

This workshop systematically covers the subjects vital to training competent contract and field administrators to manage time, cost, documentation, and disputes.
It focuses on the legal, technical, and personal responsibilities involved in observation, supervision, and coordination of on-site construction.
It increases knowledge of construction practices and control techniques and develops skills in management, contract administration, decision- making and, finally, contract close-out – all essential in administering the contract.

Objectives

This practical workshop will teach you how to identify management responsibilities, develop your communication skills, learn effective administrative responsibilities, understand legal requirements, structure effective record-keeping methods, and promote good organizational and contract close-out procedures.

The aim of this workshop is to prepare you to analyse dispute causes and their impact on the time and cost of a project, and to effectively assess the parties’ entitlements to negotiate an amicable settlement.
You will also expand your knowledge of negotiation and mediation and improve your practical skills, through role plays, to resolve disputes more effectively in an amicable manner.
You will also gain a better understanding of how arbitration works, and how to deal with litigation if all else fails to resolve the matter.
