What you’ll learn

• Handle suspension instructions without turning a pause into a dispute.
• Resolve conflicts and disputes through the contractual route rather than by escalation.
• Know the bonds used in construction – advance payment, performance, retention – and what each one actually protects.
• Manage mobilisation and demobilisation properly, including the logistical and financial traps.
• Choose the right form of agreement or partnership for the job in front of you.
• Control materials and equipment so that supply problems do not become delay claims.
• Take over completed work and deal with defective works and the defects liability period.
• Apply FIDIC Red Book thinking to design-build and EPC arrangements.
• Prepare for contract management interviews with real scenarios and full answers.
• Build the contract knowledge assessed in FIDIC (FCCM) and RICS APC certifications.

Requirements

• No prior contracts training is required. Part 1 is useful but not necessary – this course stands alone.
• Suited to anyone working on construction, infrastructure or engineering projects.

Description

This is Part 2 of the contracts question-and-answer series, and it goes where most courses stop – into the second half of the project, where the money is actually won and lost.

Everything here is taught the same way: a real question, a full answer, and the story behind it. Not definitions. Situations.

What is covered

• Suspension instructions, conflicts and dispute resolution. How to keep a suspension from turning into a claim, and how to settle disagreements through the contract rather than around it.

• Bonds in the construction industry. The types, what each one secures, who it protects, and when it can be called.

• Mobilisation and demobilisation. The logistical, financial and operational detail that decides whether a project starts and ends cleanly.

• Types of agreements and partnerships. How to choose the right framework instead of inheriting one.

• Material and equipment control. How supply problems turn into programme problems when nobody is watching.

• Handing over works and defective works. The closing stage where retention, defects liability and the final account all collide.

• Legal aspects, contractual obligations and construction claims, including design-build and EPC arrangements and FIDIC Red Book conditions throughout.

Who it is for

Contract Administrators, Contracts and Commercial Managers, Quantity Surveyors, Civil and Site Engineers, Project Managers, and anyone preparing for a contracts interview.

Part 1 covers formation, documents, variations, claims, extension of time and disputes. This course stands on its own – you do not need Part 1 first.
