Overview

The public Works Contract was published on 19th February 2007 for use on all public works.  This constitutes a large section of the construction market and this new contract involves a step change in approach.

 

This course addresses the completely different drafting of the four main contracts in the construction phase of the work.  Obligations, risks and administration will be centre to the course.  Case studies are used to illustrate contract interpretation.
