Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Employers and owners on construction and engineering projects frequently receive claims for additional time and money from contractors. Some claims are justified and should be assessed fairly, while others are inflated, poorly substantiated or based on events that are not the employer's responsibility. Without a disciplined approach to claims defence, employers risk overpaying or ending up in costly disputes.
This Claims Defence and Rebuttal for Employers training course equips employer-side professionals to assess and respond to contractor claims rigorously. Participants learn how to prepare for claims through good contract administration, review notices and time bars, analyse entitlement and causation, critique delay analyses and quantum, identify concurrency and contractor-caused delays, assert counterclaims and prepare well-reasoned responses.
The course is balanced and principled, aiming at fair outcomes based on contract terms and evidence.
