SYNOPSIS
Disputes between contractor and the client are all too common in construction contracts. To certain extent, it is said that disputes are inevitable in construction projects which predominantly arise from the complexity and magnitude of the works involved, multiple contracting parties, poorly prepared and executed contract documents, financial issues and communication problems. Any one of these factors could lead to time overrun, increased costs, and a breakdown in the parties’ common objective to complete the project.
Problems arising from construction contracts could be attributable to multiple parties involved in the construction works for example the Contractor, Employer, Consultant, Architect, Nominated Sub-contractor, third party contractor etc.
The common problems that the Employers and Contractors encounter in the course of their work are numerous, such as:
- What are the common breaches of Employers and Contractors?
- Does letter of intent bind the parties, and if so, under what conditions?
- What are the liabilities of an Engineer or Architect as far as design is concerned under a conventional contract and a Design and Build contract?
- Is Employer bound by the information and data provided in tender document?
- What does it mean by progressing the work regularly and diligently?
- Is the extension of time clause for the benefit of the Employer or Contractor?
- Does the Employer need to prove his actual loss in order to impose liquidated damages?
- Can the calling of an on-demand performance bond be stopped by the Contractor?
- What are the issues need to be taken note of in an adjudication proceeding?
This seminar will provide a detailed analysis to the above problems and their related issues.
