Description:
Contracting today demands a highly-skilled and professional approach, and adopting the right contracting strategy to fit the circumstances has a vital role in ensuring project success. Deciding who is best suited to conduct the various parts of the work, and negotiating appropriate contract terms and conditions are very important elements of this strategy.

Several delivery models have evolved to provide quality projects quickly and economically: design-build, P3 and various kinds of construction management. We will consider their respective pros and cons to determine the most appropriate one to use, and focus on the key issues of early planning, contract preparation, tendering, bidding and awarding. Actual case examples are discussed, contract performance is explained, as well as how to resolve construction disputes.
