In Every Project or Works Contract there lies the possibility for disputes due to varied interpretations, different trade meanings, discrepancies and ambiguities in Contract Documents. Those drafting contracts often lack knowledge of Technology, Methods and Practices of the Industry.

Risk Reduction by Planned Risk Transfer is the single most important purpose of this program. Past participants have reported great benefits they achieved on their projects and contracts using the analysis and methods introduced in this program.

Drafting Contracts from the viewpoint of risk transfer involves an integration of Law, Methods, Practice and Technology. Useful inputs are possible from properly informed Engineers to Lawyers.
