Contract Management for Projects

This training course aims to provide all participants in the construction industry with a better understanding of the basic tools for effective contract management to ensure projects are delivered within budget. It is particularly aimed at commercial managers, project directors, project managers, superintendents, contract managers and contract administrators in Queensland. The course aims to provide practical recommendations to address commonly occurring problems that arise due to failures to properly administer construction contracts, with a particular focus on minimising exposures to additional time and cost on a project, and tips for navigating the new payments laws introduced in Queensland in December 2018 by the Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017 (Qld) (BIF Act).

The course will consider case studies and commonly used provisions in Australian Standard construction contracts to identify issues and circumstances that commonly create uncertainty for contracting parties, suggested amendments to contract to address uncertainty, and address practical strategies for effective administration of construction contracts.

Although the course will touch on the key legal principles, the focus of the course is on practical contract management techniques to ensure that primary documents, reports and records are prepared contemporaneously as required (for internal or external reporting) to best document changing conditions and circumstances on a project that may later be used to assist to unravel complex disputes.
