Course Overview
A contract governing standard form construction contracts that nobody administers is a document, not a control. Legal exposure on construction contracts accumulates through routine decisions taken without advice. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of this strand of legal and contractual practice and prepares them for it. Ambition around standard form construction contracts outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the legal and contractual practice capability so that teams can disagree productively about it. They acquire practical criteria for judging when construction contracts is working and when it is only appearing to. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for standard form construction contracts, not for observers of it. The professional literature on construction contracts converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The final module sets out how progress on this part of legal and contractual practice will be evidenced six months later.
