Commercial Management for Contractors - Online
In construction, commercial management refers to the application of skills to maximise business potential by ensuring the successful management of the project’s finances, procurement and the processes that can impact upon a project’s profits, timescales and quality.
Commercial management plays a critical role in a project’s success, and this new course has been built around helping you take on the role of commercial management to help secure success in construction projects. Featuring references to publications JCT 2016 and NEC 4 as well as references to recent case law, Participants will be well prepared for the day to day actions of commercial management.
Beginning with contract formation and design management processes, and then looking at best practice in the management of financial, time and quality mechanisms, the content covers all the principle matters arising in construction projects for both the main and subcontract.
Using key industry insights from a highly experienced professional this course will provide Participants with tools and skills to enable them to recognise and understand critical commercial issues and how to deal with them.
