itle,%20Company%20Name,%20Phone%20Number> Disputes, conflicts or claims
are inevitable on any construction project... and although there are a
number of more formal dispute resolution techniques namely arbitration,
mediation and litigation...there is a growing trend towards using
adjudication as a necessary step in the dispute resolution process. 

So why has adjudication all of a sudden become the dispute mechanism of
choice through the international construction industry? This is an
interesting question, especially when you consider that the referral of
disputes to adjudication is not (by application of legislation)
mandatory in South Africa as it is in the UK and Australia for instance.
The reason for adjudication gaining in popularity is actually quite
simple - it is a quick and relatively inexpensive procedure that is
designed to decide disputes in 'real-time' and give you a resolution
that can be implemented almost immediately which then means that you can
get your project back on track. 

And that is where this training course comes in; using a series of
interactive discussions as well as case studies it is designed to equip
all Course Participants with a practical understanding but more
importantly a working knowledge of the entire adjudication process as it
should be applied in the southern African construction industry. 

CPD Points

Please note that we have applied for CPD points for this through SAICE.
The points are not currently available but will be shortly and will be
awarded to all Course Participants retroactively. We anticipate this
course being awarded 2 CPD points.

of thousands to many millions of Rands to even the smallest of
claims...they are in short time consuming and divert valuable and scarce
resources away from where they are needed most and they are destructive
to what may seem like even the most solid of business relationships. 

In the ideal world a construction project can be completed without there
ever being a claim and in many instances this is exactly what happens.
However this 2-day training course will teach you how to prepare,
present and defend any construction claim.

CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATING

Major cost overruns on any construction project are frequently due to
poor forecasting of the costs and inherent risks in a contract at tender
stage. And this in turn means that poor estimating can impact the
economic feasibility of any proposed construction project. 

 
<mailto:imogen at alusani.co.za?Subject=Please%20email%20me%20the%20latest%
20PDF%20brochure%20for%20the%20Construction%20Estimating%20course.&Body=

o%20supply%20us%20with%20following%20:%20Your%20Name,%20Your%20Job%20Tit
le,%20Company%20Name,%20Phone%20Number> That is why estimating is
considered to be one of the most important of all of the practical
aspects of construction management. There are many, sometimes complex
issues to consider when estimating the cost of a construction project
and there are a number of key elements that come into play with each of
these issues which can dramatically shape the entire estimating
equation. 

Over-estimating may result in your client quite literally getting the
shock of their life when it actually comes to the tender process and in
extreme cases the project actually being abandoned. On the flipside
under-estimating may have dire consequences for you as the Estimator and
in the long run severely hamper your confidence as well as your
reputation. 

When companies are reliant on the tender process to acquire their work,
tendering with confidence in the outcome is vital - so learning how to
estimate accurately and consistently is a must! 

Estimating is not simply number crunching to get a figure. But it is a
multi-faceted process that must be followed in order that all risks are
accounted for, 

So this training course offers the A-Z of construction estimating and
will give all Course Participants a thorough grounding in the principles
and best practices of construction estimating in terms of real-life
construction projects. 

Using proven case studies, all the procedures that are involved in the
compiling a viable estimate for construction projects are covered in
detail and you will leave this training course understanding how to
prepare an accurate estimate for typical construction projects.

one%20Number> Any building project, no matter the contract type has to
undergo 3 specific stages namely the design, tender and then of course
the actual physical construction phases. And in any of the stages, the
effective management and administration of contracts is critical in
order to manage the design specifications, contractual agreements,
competitive tendering, evaluation, cost control, variations, final
accounts, claims and even disputes. 

So, it goes without saying that the poor management of any of these
aspects can lead to unnecessary delays, claims and disputes and
eventually higher construction costs...which you want to avoid at all
costs! 

This training course has been designed to take you through the entire
project life cycle and contract administration tasks and it will equip
you with the skills you need to determine the inherent risks associated
with each stage of the life cycle. You will also learn how to use all of
the tools at your disposal to avoid cost and time over-runs, without the
need to sacrifice quality. 

In addition, this course will explore and incorporate all of the
technical and procedural competencies that cover in detail the dealings
between the contracting parties and concerned stakeholders. It will also
combine both the commercial and contractual necessities which will
support and promote the performance of the entire project from the time
the contract is awarded until the work has been completed, payment has
been made and any disputes settled.

Title,%20Company%20Name,%20Phone%20Number> The NEC family of Standard
Form Contracts is used by major organisations across the length and
breadth of South Africa and is gaining popularity with flagship projects
internationally such as London 2012. And this modern family of contracts
is fast becoming a standard for private companies, parastatals and
public sector organisations alike. So, this 2-day training course is
highly recommended for anyone involved in working with the NEC family of
Standard Form Contracts as the aim of this training course is to equip
all Course Participants with a detailed understanding and practical
working knowledge of the mechanics and day-to-day functions of the NEC. 

In addition the training course will also cover in detail the very
necessary practical commercial skills that you need, as well as the
general principles of the law of contract. And in order to lay the
foundation for the entire course we will take a detailed look at a
historical perspective of the NEC and will consider the history and the
events that stimulated its development. In particular we will focus on
the Latham and Egan Reports and developments in the international
construction industry as well as its applicability in the South African
construction industry today, given the recommendations of the
Construction Industry Development Board.
