Construction Contract Nightmares - 24/11/2011

A number of problem issues come up in Construction Contracts time after time and cause time consuming and often costly difficulties if they are not dealt with properly, including before they arise. Despite such issues being commonly encountered, they are often not understood and so the possibility of such matters arising and/or becoming more serious problems is very great.

This BRAND NEW 1 DAY COURSE will review many such common issues and seek to explain the position in law and provide the delegates with a better understanding so that they can deal with/avoid such issues more effectively. The course is suitable for Consultants, including Project Managers, Architects and Engineers, Contracts and Site Managers and Quantity Surveyors.

An update on the Construction Act is also included.

Course Fee: £280 plus VAT

This course is run through the Construction Study Centre and will be presented by Scott Milner, Assistant Solicitor of Silver Shemmings LLP.
