This half day seminar and workshop will address the following issue: “I need a watertight construction contract – who do I call and what changes need to be made for new legislation, new cases and project bank accounts?”

The seminar and workshop will enable you to:

• Understand how to amend your contract to deal with the latest BIFSOPA, QBCC amendments and the new timelines.

• Discuss and understand the latest contract clauses required as a result of cases on the BCIPA, QBCC Act & PPS Act.

• Understand what you can do by amending your contract to maximise your protection from dubious EOT and delay claims.

• Discuss and understand the latest contract amendments dealing with conversion of security, final certificates, termination and deeds of release.

• Discuss the effect of the recent decisions on latent defect claims.

• Examine contract clauses dealing with:

– preconditions to payment claims – are they affective anymore?

– termination for convenience – a dangerous weapon;

– deeds of release – will they defeat a BCIPA claim?

– EOT and delay claims;

– time bars – do they work?

– warranties to purchasers and body corporates for latent defects;

– conversion of security in response to an adjudication decision; and

– how to apply liquidated damages even if you caused the delay.

• In a workshop setting you will deal with an actual contract and negotiate an outcome.
