This unit provides students with the opportunity to attain advanced knowledge for professional level work with engineering construction contracts, their management and delivery. It will help to impart cognitive skills to think critically about the administration, management, supervision, construction and delivery of engineering projects, within the context of the relevant legal, risk and conflict resolution frameworks. While the specific terms of a construction contract may change by way of revisions to standard or industry based contracts, the legal principles underlying each of the terms remain constant. This unit will help ensure the development of the specialised technical, managerial and creative skills required to successfully manage and deliver engineering contracts.
