These seminars are aimed at developers, directors, project managers, contractors, sub-contractors and consultants. In particular from those organisations; commercial directors, commercial managers, quantity surveyors, programmers and site managers.
The Seminar will discuss :
Smash and Grab Adjudication; this is still a huge tactical advantage to contractors and subcontractors, so we look at:
- Payment Notifications
- Developer’s failure to issue a Payment Notice/Certificate
- What is “smash and grab” and when is it effective
- Steps for Contractor to take when notices are less than interim applications
- Steps for Project Managers to protect themselves
Attendees will also be able to participate in a Q&A session at the end of the seminar.
