Welcome

Site engineers and project managers deal with several forms of contracts all the time. Whether it is the overall contract with the project principal, main contractor, supply agreements, subcontracts, hire agreements or purchase orders, it is essential to understand the basics around applicable law as well as your contractual rights and obligations. This course simplifies the legal language by using plain English with a focus on how it applies to the day to day dealings of engineers and project managers on construction projects.

At the end of this program, you will understand the applicable law, types and elements of contracts and how they are formed along with real life examples when things do not go to plan. You will establish a knowledge base that is the ideal prerequisite for our construction contract administration course.
