Synopsis
Disputes between contractor and the client are all too common in construction contracts. To certain extent, it is said that disputes are inevitable in construction projects which predominantly arise from the complexity and magnitude of the works involved, multiple contracting parties, poorly prepared and executed contract documents, financial issues and communication problems. Any one of these factors could lead to time overrun, increased costs, and a breakdown in the parties’ common objective to complete the project and more so the litigation in courts with the eventual monetary loss to the contracting parties.
Problems arising from construction contracts could be attributable to multiple parties involved in the construction works for example the Contractor, Employer, Consultant, Architect, Nominated Sub-contractor, third party contractor etc. The problems that commonly arise are:
• Time of Completion • Extension of Time • Certificate of Completion • Liquidated And Ascertained Damages • Variation Order • Payment • Defects • Claims
This seminar will provide a detailed analysis to the above problems and their related issues.
