Description:

While South African construction professionals may, in the past, have “got by” with a knowledge of our local construction contracts such a knowledge is no longer sufficient. The construction arena is becoming more global as professionals look beyond our borders for work and as increasing numbers of employers use international forms of contract such as FIDIC and NEC/ECC. In this one day seminar we examine the key differences between the standard construction contracts currently in use and compare the approaches taken by these contracts to important issues. Advice on fitting the contract to the project will be given and the advantages and disadvantages of the various forms of contract discussed.

Time:

All day event

Description:

This seminar provides essential fundamental principles of contract as well as updates on recent developments in contract law. Delegates should achieve:

 An appreciation of the importance of reading, understanding and applying their contract;
 An understanding of the common law background to construction contracts;
 An awareness of common misconceptions around contract law;
 Practical skills in assessing contractual risk and applying this to their contracts;
 An appreciation of the importance of contractual provisions to the success of a project;

Description:

One of the major advantages of the NEC suite of contracts is its ability to provide a range of procurement options. Contractors should be aware that it is not necessarily in their best interest to apply the procurement option imposed upon them by the Employer in the sub-contract environment and that considerable advantages may be achieved by varying the option under which the Sub-contractor is appointed. This seminar will look initially at contract strategy from the perspective of main Contractor/Sub-contractor appointment. Thereafter the seminar will deal with that most difficult area under the NEC, change management systems, which will embrace dealing with variations and extensions of time. The final session of the day will look at common changes made by Employers to the Conditions of Contract through the Z clauses and their impact and particular reference will be given to limitations of liability and force majeure.

To meet the demands of the market, Binnington Copeland & Associates has developed two half day workshops

Attend one or attend both

Module 1: JBCC Principal Agreement
In this half day introductory workshop we consider key provisions in the JBCC contracts and discuss both the positive aspects of the contracts and the flaws to watch out for. An overview of key clauses is given, with special attention to risky, difficult to interpret or problematic clauses. Material is presented in an interactive manner, through case studies and practical examples. In this half day session, delegates gain an understanding of the overall structure of the JBCC contracts and an awareness some tricky areas they need to be alive to. Rather than taking a clause by clause walk through the contracts, key clauses and clauses which create problems in practice are discussed.

Module 2:The JBCC Subcontract Agreement
In this new half day workshop we focus on the JBCC Nominated/Selected Subcontract agreement. This contract differs from the principal agreement in a number of key respects, and has important implications for contractors and subcontractors alike. Employers and their agents also need an understanding of this contract. Under JBCC, more perhaps than under any other contract, the provisions of the subcontract agreement have implications for the employer and his agent.

Estimating Systems and Procedures is the first in a two-part series intended specifically for building contractors, both new and existing, and persons other than professional quantity surveyors involved in building cost estimating.

This workshop introduces the delegate to building cost estimating by exploring estimating and measuring systems and how they are created, as well as taking a look at the building landscape and common risk factors that may influence the cost of a project.
It takes a sneak preview at the second part of the series (The A-Z of Building cost Resources) before it culminates in a live session where an estimating sheet is created from a set of plans provided.

In short, this workshop equips delegates with the tools and skills needed to identify cost elements in any building and thereby creating the best possible environment to accurately price and as a result, manage, a project to a profitable conclusion for both client and contractor.

Please join us in a non-formal and relaxed environment and let us start estimating for better control!

Description:

The New Engineering Contract and FIDIC have had adjudication procedures in place for some years, and some international jurisdictions have introduced legislation supporting adjudicating.
We have already seen a surge in the use of the adjudication process, yet few members of the construction industry understand the process or appreciate how it differs from conventional forms of dispute resolution.

Most members of the construction industry are unclear as to what adjudication is, how it is applied, and how it differs from other forms of dispute resolution. Lawyers and construction personnel alike do not fully understand this form of dispute resolution and there are few people who understand the process sufficiently well to act as adjudicators.

To assist potential users in preparing for adjudications, BCA offers a one day seminar which introduces the concept, shows how it differs from other forms of dispute resolution, and discusses the adjudication provisions in current standard forms of contract. In this seminar we will also take a step-by-step walk through the adjudication process, following the process from beginning to end.

NEC-Early Warnings & Compensation Events

This seminar will revisit the basic NEC3 – Engineering Construction Contract and Short Contract strategy from the perspective of main Contractor/Sub-contractor appointment. Thereafter the seminar will deal in detail with the most difficult area under NEC, namely the Early Warning and Compensation Events requirement, including the relevant flow charts and BCA recommended pro-forma and the correct NEC communication process.

NEC - Professional Services Contract

This seminar will give a comprehensive overview of the document and will assist the first time user as well as the experienced user to both understand and use this innovative form of appointment. It is presumed that all delegates will have a working knowledge of the NEC family of contract.

Our policy, as with all our training documents, is to provide too much information in the training manual, so that delegates can subsequently use it as reference material after the training session.

Description:

The NEC family of Standard Form Contracts is used by major organisations across the length and breadth of South Africa and is gaining popularity with flagship projects internationally such as London 2012.

And this modern family of contracts is fast becoming a standard for private companies, parastatals and public sector organisations alike.

So, this 2-day training course is highly recommended for anyone involved in working with the NEC family of Standard Form Contracts as the aim of this training course is to equip all Course Participants with a detailed understanding and practical working knowledge of the mechanics and day-to-day functions of the NEC.

In addition the training course will also cover in detail the very necessary practical commercial skills that you need, as well as the general principles of the law of contract.

And in order to lay the foundation for the entire course we will take a detailed look at a historical perspective of the NEC and will consider the history and the events that stimulated its development.

In particular we will focus on the Latham and Egan Reports and developments in the international construction industry as well as its applicability in the South African construction industry today, given the recommendations of the Construction Industry Development Board.

Description:

In this two day workshop we focus on claims under the FIDIC contracts: when they can be brought, how they must be brought, how they are assessed, and how they are resolved.
In particular, this course will address:

· how FIDIC addresses Contractor’s claims;
· the evaluation of extensions of time;
· concurrent delays
· general delay and disruption claims
· the Employer’s claims clause;
· dealing with the programme including shortfalls in the programming clause
· the role of the Engineer in determining claims

The BCAT course presenters are all experienced engineers with current experience on some of the World’s biggest power plant contracts currently being constructed for ESKOM under FIDIC red and yellow books. In addition they are well versed in South African Contract law, an essential element for anyone wishing to explain FIDIC contracts in the context of the Southern African situation.

Description:

Six years since it first launched its new edition GCC contract, the GCC drafting committee launched its second edition early in June 2010. The GCC 2010 contract will be familiar to those used to the 2004 edition but includes some interesting innovations including:

• The contract is suitable for use in disciplines other than civil engineering. The new contract is suitable for building works, civil engineering works and electrical and mechanical works. GCC has recognised that multidisciplinary projects are often best served by a multi-disciplinary contract;
• The contract is suitable for employer designed and contractor designed works;
• The contract has received the CIDB tick of approval and meets CIDB best practice requirements.
BCA envisages that the wider ambit of the new GCC will mean increased take up of this contract. Contractors and clients from the building environment who in the past would not have looked to GCC may now consider it for their building projects. Those looking for a local contract for multi-disciplinary projects will also look to the new GCC.

If you work in the building environment and have never considered GCC, now is the time to look to it as a sound local contract for building works.

Description:

This one day workshop is aimed at those who have had some experience in working with FIDIC or have attended other workshops on the FIDIC forms of contract. We will therefore focus on innovations introduced in the new contracts, on recent developments in interpretation of the FIDIC contracts and on higher level technical issues in the drafting of the contracts which have not been covered in previous Binnington Copeland seminars. In this workshop we focus on matters which may be missed on first reading of the contracts, but which could, if discovered later, create problems for one or both parties. Matters which commentators have brought to FIDIC’s attention as requiring revisiting in later editions are highlighted.

Description:

Each project that is conducted under the FIDIC Contract gives rise to new issues and applications as the work has been completed under the new contracts. This workshop, now conducted annually, will serve both as a refresher and update for those who attended the course in the last few years, and as new exposure for those who did not. Those who have attended in previous seminars have found it interesting, valuable, interactive & of an excellent standard.

The content of the workshop will be based on recent developments in the industry and in the development of contracts in general and the FIDIC contracts in particular;
● An in-depth analysis of the contracts and their practical implications
● Practical, case study based: The course is based on recent experiences with the old and new FIDIC contracts
● Presented by presenters of the highest standing, who have had on going experience with the FIDIC contracts

Workshop Content

This workshop will trace the contractual process from pre-tender stage to taking over, where the FIDIC contracts are used. We will not only consider the FIDIC general conditions of contract but will also discuss pre-award issues. Delegates will therefore gain an in-depth understanding of the entire process of contracting under FIDIC, from the initiation of the project to its completion and taking over. Checklists of documents required, time charts and other tools of contracting will be provided for the various stages discussed.

Description:

Construction claims…from hundreds of thousands to many millions of Rands to even the smallest of claims – they are in short time consuming and divert valuable and scarce resources away from where they are needed most and they are destructive to what may seem like even the most solid of business relationships.

In the ideal world a construction project can be completed without there ever being a claim and in many instances this is exactly what happens.

However this 2-day training course will teach you how to prepare, present and defend any construction claim.

To publish an event on the ASAQS Calendar click on "Events" then "Add New Event" in the menu-bar above. Events will only be visible on the Internet after they have been authorised for viewing by the ASAQS webmaster. Please ensure that you complete as many fields for the event as you possibly can.

We trust that you will find the ASAQS Calendar easy to use and of benefit to you.
