Don’t get caught out doing additional work for free because variation procedures were not followed or lose the opportunity to claim for delay or delay costs by not following time clauses, or worse, becoming liable to pay liquidated damages. In some cases, contractors can complete additional work and delays are not caused by them but they can end up not being paid for additional work and actually end up paying the Contractor or Client for delays they didn’t cause. The stakes are high so it is important to be in the know.  Part 1 of the workshop will cover: <ul><li>Managing time and delays </li><li>Managing additional costs and work </li><li>Managing payment  </li></ul>Part 2: Recovery of Payment  The better you administer the contract, the better position you put yourself in to recover payment if this is not forthcoming. Utilising the payment claim process under the SOPA Act is always the best option and then it is a question of whether adjudication or court is better. There are a lot of stumbling blocks on this and it can depend on a number of factors. Was a payment schedule received? Is there a written contract? Is it the final payment to be paid? It is a minefield of an area and can be expensive with legal costs but doing nothing and never being paid is a lot more costly. Part 2 of the workshop will cover: <ul><li>Security of Payment </li><li>Court processes </li></ul>Who should attend <ul><li>Anyone who is involved with carrying out projects under construction contracts</li><li>Those whose role includes entering and administering contracts</li><li>Those whose role includes making claims for payment (such as project managers).</li></ul>Workshop Presenter Frank BrownNECA Legal Senior AssociatePlease note, this workshop may be eligible for tax deduction (ATO). For enquiries, please contact 1300 361 099 or connect with NECA Member Services here.
