Construction Contracts Administration and Claims Avoidance Course

Training Outlines

Introduction

Construction claims frequently arise from unmanaged change, unclear authority, late decisions, defective notices or incomplete contemporary records. Effective contract administration aligns technical delivery with contractual obligations so that rights, responsibilities, time and cost consequences remain visible throughout the project.

This five-day course develops a disciplined administration and claims-avoidance framework. Participants interpret obligations, control communications, manage submittals, variations, payment and time, and establish evidence standards for emerging issues. Early warning, negotiation and escalation practices are used to resolve disagreement before positions harden into formal disputes.

Objectives

Apply notice and communication requirements.
Maintain reliable contemporary records.
Control submittals, instructions and variations.
Administer payment and certification.
Assess delay and time entitlement.
Resolve emerging issues through escalation.
