Description
This will be a hands-on practical workshop, so don’t come thinking that you will just listen and then leave. Each participant to the workshop will be carrying out practical exercises that closely resemble actual FIDIC projects.
Participants will learn about the Engineer’s role from inception of the project when the Engineer notifies the commencement date to the close-out of the project setting out the detailed process that the Engineer must follow to issue the Taking-Over Certificate.
Particular focus will be given on the Engineer’s certification role as well as its neutral agreement and determination role. We will be looking at the skills that Engineers must develop in order to effectively carry out their functions under Sub-Clause 3.7 to agree or determine matters in a neutral way.
There will also be a dedicated session on how an Engineer should draft a Sub-Clause 15.1 Notice to Correct and what these notices mean in practice. Should a Sub-Clause 15.1 notice be used as a project management tool or just as a pre-requisite for termination?
The course is ideal not just for consulting Engineers that wish to, or are already carrying out the role of the Engineer, it is also for Contractors and Employers to the construction contract who wish to understand better how to get their Engineer to participate more fully in the project.
The course bridges the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge to ensure the smooth running of construction projects.
