What you'll learn

  • Answer the contract questions that come up daily on site - in the words your contract actually uses.
  • Handle conflicts, discrepancies and missing items across contract documents, and know which document wins.
  • Apply the priority of documents correctly instead of arguing from memory.
  • Recognise a variation when you see one, and know what has to happen next.
  • Build and defend extension of time claims, and understand what time at large really means.
  • Deal with prolongation cost, liquidated damages and penalty provisions with confidence.
  • Manage nominated subcontractors, suppliers and vendor lists without inheriting their risk.
  • Respond to termination, force majeure and unforeseen events using the right contractual route.
  • Prepare for contract management interviews - these are the questions that get asked.

Description

Most contract knowledge is not learned from a textbook. It is learned the hard way - when a claim is rejected, when a variation is refused, when one document contradicts another and nobody can say which one wins.

This course is made of exactly those moments, asked as questions and answered plainly.

You will see, read and hear questions and answers drawn from across the whole of contracts management, arranged so you can jump straight to whatever is hurting you this week. It is also the fastest interview preparation you will find for a contracts role, because these are the questions interviewers actually ask.

What is covered

  • General contract administration - the day-to-day mechanics
  • Contract formation issues, and what goes wrong at the start
  • Unsuitable and unclear contracts
  • Conflicts between contract documents, priority of documents, and the hierarchy that decides which one governs
  • Discrepancies and missing items in contract documents
  • Contractual variations, scope changes and additional works, including the awkward cases that are not obviously either
  • Claims and disputes
  • Delays, extensions of time, and time-related conflicts
  • Provisions for prolongation cost
  • Time at large - what it means, when it applies, and the cases behind it
  • Risk management in contracts
  • Payment issues and payment disputes
  • Termination of contract
  • Force majeure and unforeseen events
