Overview
This course offers a framework for understanding and interpreting contractual relationships in construction projects. Lessons from research and practice are used side-by-side to provide robust explanations and help to develop a deep understanding of the consequences of how construction contracts are drafted, chosen and managed. The procurement of construction work takes place within specific legislative frameworks. Participants will be familiarized with legal approaches to construction contracting, and will understand the diverse influences on contract policy and procurement thinking. The course covers all aspects of the NEC, JBCC, FIDIC and GCC standard form contracts.

    Course reviews

    • MAP was a great introduction to the commercial side of the business for a health professional like myself. I am now able to identify and leverage synergies between my department and others in the organisation. Because of the diversity and calibre of its students, WBS has helped me increase my network and I have recommended MAP to a number of my colleagues. It was an investment worth more than the rand value of the course – and motivated me to do my MBA!

    • Doing NMP with WBS has provided me with the basic and highly valuable skills as I prepare myself for a leadership role within my organisation. The programme had practical examples which I could relate to my real situation at work.
