JBCC and NEC Contract Administration for Building Projects

Most site disputes on African building projects trace back to standard form contract clauses that were signed but never actively administered. This course takes participants through the day to day administration of JBCC and NEC contracts, covering payment certificates, variations, notices and record keeping. It builds the discipline that protects both employer and contractor when programmes slip and money is tight.
