Objective
Construction delays are the source of frequent conflicts, claims, and disputes. It is common in construction contracts for contractors to be assessed agreed damages for late completion. Such agreed damages are referred to as liquidated damages under contracts in general and as delay damages under construction contracts in specific. Sometimes, delay damages clauses are not a reasonable estimate of damages and sometimes the actual damages differ from the delay damages; these cases are handled in two different ways under the common law system and civil law system. In this course, an understanding of the delay damages under both the common law and civil law systems is provided, in order to properly manage the application of the delay damages in construction contracts. The application of the delay damages needs to be properly managed in accordance with the provisions of the subject contract and the applicable law, otherwise conflicts, claims and/or disputes will inevitably exist over the application of delay damages.
Target Audience:
This course is recommended for participating; engineers, lawyers and accountants involved in construction contracts, employers, consultants, contractors, developers, project managers, construction managers, quantity surveyors, arbitrators, contracts officers and project controls.
