By the end of the course the attendee will be able to:
Separate contract administration from project management, quantity surveying and legal advice.
Open a contract package and decide which document speaks when the drawings, the specification and the Particular Conditions do not agree.
Tell an instruction from a determination, and from advice that does not bind anyone.
Identify the Commencement Date, what the programme is for, and what protects an extension of time.
Follow a payment application from statement to certificate, and keep an uninstructed amount out of the certified sum.
Tell a variation from a claim, and value a variation by the route the contract already gives.
Draft a notice that meets the contract formalities and the time-bar, and state what a contemporary record is.
Explain what a Taking-Over Certificate moves: risk, insurance, delay damages and retention.
Allocate a typical site event to the party that carries it, and know when a bond or insurance certificate is still alive.
Know how to prepare for a claim, set the records, establish entitlement, and stand on solid contractual ground.
Basic knowledge of
• A live or recent construction project. Site, technical-office or planning experience is an advantage.
• No prior contracts posting is assumed.

• Site engineers and technical-office engineers moving into contracts.
• Junior contracts engineers in their first posting.
• Planning engineers who issue or receive the programme under the contract.
• Quantity surveyors and cost engineers who prepare or review payment applications.
• Project engineers who write site instructions and meeting minutes.
• Anyone interested in contract administration as a career shift.
