Contract disputes aren’t lost in court – they are lost on site, in real time! Missed notices, weak records, unclear programmes, and late escalation are some of the common pitfalls. This seminar seeks to review and translate key contract risks into simple, practical actions for implementation, focusing on what really wins (or loses) on site with topics below:
Claim notice – don’t miss the gate!
Delay & EOT – what actually counts?
Liquidated damages – what to check before deduction?
Payment clauses – “Back-to-back / Pay When Paid / Pay If Paid” – does it mean what it says?
Fitness for purpose vs Skill & Care – what is hidden in specs?
Force Majeure – does it really cover “everything”?
Contract success is built daily – not argued later. The session seeks to simplify commonly misunderstood concepts, with the aim of equipping attendees with a clear and simple mindset to understand common misconceptions and a practical “what to do tomorrow” sharing.
