Contract Administration: Finding True Partners in Construction

Please note: This is an international webinar and will take place at 7.30pm Dubai time. The webinar access link will be emailed to registered attendees the day prior to the session.

ABOUT THE TOPIC

Inter-Company relationships in the construction industry are often governed by contracts to allocate risks and responsibilities between parties as well as to enforce performance. Traditional lump‐sum contracts, for example, generally set the commercial drivers that define the strategic goals of clients and contractors on a collision  course. 

This presentation will discuss possible mechanisms to develop team behaviors that could support enhanced performance and create an environment less adversarial, and more collaborative than conventional contracting, without compromising the functional requirements of a conventional contract.
