Construction Contracts Mastery 

LEARN HOW TO CREATE, NEGOTIATE AND AMEND CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS LIKE A PRO

CHALLENGE:

Many decision-makers in the construction industry have great skills in the design and delivery of construction work ... but often lack familiarity with the critical role that construction contracts play in a successful project.

But it's not your fault! They just don't teach this information in enough detail (if at all) in trade schools or even engineering degrees!

And it's often way too late to learn about their importance when you're already in a dispute.

SOLUTION:

This course is for developers, head contractors,

subcontractors and consultants who know that construction contracts are important, but struggle with understanding:

  • precisely how and when they are formed (and how binding contracts can be unintentionally created when they haven't even been signed yet);

  • what key terms to watch out for (namely, those that can have a massive negative impact on your bottom line or potentially DESTROY your business);

  • what terms absolutely MUST be included in your contract (but don't appear in any standard form contract in the market ... so it's up to you to include them!);

  • how to use contract terms as your marketing advantage so you stand out from the competition and win more work (basically NO ONE is taking advantage of this phenomenal opportunity!);

  • how to prepare clear scopes of work to

    dramatically reduce the likelihood of contractual disputes (did you know that more than 50% of disputes relate to arguments over the scope of work?);

  • how to create simple, clear, practical construction contracts for your business that are easy to understand (or at least much easier than most) and protect your business;

  • how to diplomatically negotiate changes to contracts drafted by others (if they won't accept your standard form contract) so you can adjust the risk allocation in their contract to something more balanced; and

  • sooo much more!
