Successful Construction Projects

Successful Construction Projects

The goal of this course is to demonstrate, through real examples and a review of project management techniques and delivery systems, that it is possible to achieve the project objectives and also minimize risks and disputes that can cause cost overruns, completion delays and lower quality work. In reviewing Public Works statistics regarding the effort, time and money spent to defend against claims, it is certainly more prudent to put this effort into contract administration as a preventative effort rather than engaging in a non-productive rearguard action. Statistics developed by the University of Texas in Houston indicate that 20% of all project funds are expended in legal action. Evidently, this cost is incurred mainly in the area of pursuing claims and disputes through the court process. As defined within the contract and as practised on site, the role of the parties is confrontational. Add to this the practice of risk-shifting to the party least able to deal with such risks, and you have a recipe for disputes and claims. As you will note from the Program Outline, the focus is on the various contract participants�roles and responsibilities during the project life cycle, from concept (need definition) to completion (project handover).

Objective
To familiarize participants with the administrative aspects of a project from the initial concept that will provide the best chance for their organization to successfully complete the desired project and fulfil its objectives, as well as the steps along the project delivery process where the incidence of disputes and claims can be minimized.

Who Should Attend
Personnel of organizations active in procuring or delivering construction services, including private and public owners, consultants and contractors, financial institutions, bonding and insurance companies. It will be of particular benefit to all engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, and other professionals who want to have a better understanding of the various procurement options in order to provide knowledgeable advice to their decision makers.
