Construction Contract Management & Claims: 200+ Q&A Part 2

This is Part 2 of the contracts question-and-answer series, and it goes where most courses stop – into the second half of the project, where the money is actually won and lost.

Everything here is taught the same way: a real question, a full answer, and the story behind it. Not definitions. Situations.

What is covered

• Suspension instructions, conflicts and dispute resolution. How to keep a suspension from turning into a claim, and how to settle disagreements through the contract rather than around it.
• Bonds in the construction industry. The types, what each one secures, who it protects, and when it can be called.
• Mobilisation and demobilisation. The logistical, financial and operational detail that decides whether a project starts and ends cleanly.
• Types of agreements and partnerships. How to choose the right framework instead of inheriting one.
• Material and equipment control. How supply problems turn into programme problems when nobody is watching.
• Handing over works and defective works. The closing stage where retention, defects liability and the final account all collide.
• Legal aspects, contractual obligations and construction claims, including design-build and EPC arrangements and FIDIC Red Book conditions throughout.
