Course Overview
Legal exposure on construction claims and delays accumulates through routine decisions taken without advice. Ambiguity in claims and delays is resolved against the party that drafted it. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this strand of legal and contractual practice to standardise and which to leave flexible. Every module pairs a short input on construction claims and delays with structured practice on the participant's own material. The content is relevant to those who own the wider legal and contractual practice agenda and to those who are held accountable for its results. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in claims and delays that were visible long before the incident. Most organisations already have a policy on construction claims and delays; far fewer can show it working. It concentrates on the parts of claims and delays that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this aspect of legal and contractual practice rather than a set of notes.
