When one searches ‘common causes of construction disputes’ one invariably finds posts from law firms with issues like ‘poorly drafted contracts’, ‘scope creep’, and ‘poor contract administration’, and the number one piece of advice is ‘engage legal experts’. But why is this?

Everything one needs to manage and resolve the common causes of dispute is within the QS’s toolbox, it just requires one to take ownership before the issue develops into full dispute. This webinar will provide examples of how this can be done.

Join this webinar to find out how and why disputes develop. The webinar will explore ways to manage and align expectations to promote early resolution, by utilising quantity surveying skills such as change management, risk assessment and negotiation.

The AIQS Victoria/Tasmania Chapter Council is delighted to invite you to our Annual Celebration. This year’s celebration will be held from 7:00pm to 10:00pm at Fleet Rooftop Bar on Thursday, 28th of August.

Estimating and cost planning are essential components for infrastructure projects.

Estimating involves predicting the likely cost of a project based on design information available at defined stages of design development. Estimates are typically used for budgeting and tendering purposes. This process focuses on individual cost components and is often conducted as a one-time calculation.

In contrast, cost planning is a dynamic, continuous process that supports design decisions and cost control throughout the project lifecycle. It helps ensure the project remains within budget by comparing actual costs against projections and adjusting accordingly.

Led by experienced experts, this webinar offers attendees up-to-date knowledge that will equip them to deliver accurate estimates and implement effective cost planning strategies in real-world projects.
