Course Information

Introduction

In the workshops (5 and 6), you will analyse the issues when a dispute arises during construction and examine its time and cost impacts on a project, thus preventing the dispute from becoming a claim. The time and energy expended in addressing claims resulting from unresolved disputes, putting them forward and defending against them is out of all proportion to the cost/benefit expected. You will also learn how to deal with contract claims since most projects are modified and changes made within and outside the scope of work, in some instances delaying or accelerating the pace of work, which may result in a claim if the dispute is not settled. These workshops will provide expert, practical information and advice for the parties to analyze and understand the issues that arise when a claim is made, and also how to prepare and negotiate a settlement and produce a counterclaim if needed. They will help you to resolve such claims in a more effective manner and avoid lengthy and expensive litigation. A variety of case studies will be presented.
