Description
Construction Law concentrates on the legal aspects of construction contracting, from a practical and legal perspective. The course looks at construction terms and roles, project delivery structures, tendering, contract formation, the site, scope, variations, extensions of time, liquidated damages, warranties, dispute resolution, payment, defects rectification and statutory rights. The course focuses on four standard form contracts commonly in use in the industry (JCCF, PC1, AS 4300 and AS 4000) and considers how the risk profiles of each contract differ. The course does not deal with all aspects of law relating to construction; rather, it is focussed on the construction contracting aspects of projects.
