COURSE BACKGROUND
Those working in the construction industry must communicate effectively and correctly in order to administer contracts, manage the construction process and satisfy their own responsibilities, or those for whom they work, as well as needing to be able to secure the position in law and negotiate on a regular basis.
This 1 DAY COURSE reviews the issues to be considered in communications, the techniques, structure, content and purpose of common forms, correspondence, certificates, privilege, letters of intent, notices, negotiation and various aspects of administration.
Where appropriate the course considers communications in the context of JCT, NEC and PPC 2000 contracts and is suitable for those who have not previously been responsible for external communications, correspondence, notices, certificates, etc. And those that would like to get up to date.
The course also covers the New Construction Act insofar as it is relevant.
