Construction Contract Management

Description

Most of the construction professionals are aware about the poor performance of construction, yet we keep seeing projects fail and lose money. Despite all the innovations and all the project management methodologies that are being implemented, the industry is still far to be efficient. The true problem is that we are not mastering the basics due to the lack of trainings and mentorship.

The goal of this course, is to teach you the basics. The basics of commercial and contractual knowledge skills and knowledge that you were not exposed to, the basics that we thought they are not for engineers, the basics that should be mastered by anyone working in the construction sector.

My goal is to share all the experience, knowledge and skills that I’ve I have gained from real work experiences in different tenders, mega projects; and international clients in different countries and present them to you as lessons to learn from.
