Construction seminar and webinar “Introduction to Construction”

Topic

Our construction talk is called “Introduction to Construction” and is intended for those new or relatively new to the world of construction or those who don’t work in construction every day. It might also be useful to those with more experience who want a reminder of some of the main issues and things to think about.

Our speakers, Andrew Harbourne and Mustafa Sidki, will start with a brief reminder of the importance of the construction industry before moving on to mention the efforts made in recent decades to reduce the number, length and cost of disputes. As part of this, adjudication and required payment procedures are discussed.

The second half of the seminar touches on procurement routes (different ways of getting the scheme built), some of the standard forms of building contract, how best to appoint professionals and the role of collateral warranties, third party rights and other frequently seen construction documents. The seminar concludes with a mention of the very important topic of insurance.
