The Perfect Claim
The Perfect Claim Workshop
Learn to prepare the perfect claim, from beginning to end. Achieve a successful award & avoid expensive disputes.
If a claim is to succeed it must be prepared in line with best practice. If not, you can expect a drawn-out process, taking your team away from their work. At worst, your claim will be rejected. Failure to prepare claims to the appropriate standard will cost you dearly.
This valuable two-day workshop will give you the skills and knowledge to prepare a claim. Our step-by-step process will teach you to prepare accurate claims; claims which will result in successful awards and avoid expensive disputes.
Each module uses case studies based on real-life projects. Group assignments will see you putting the principles into practice. Our presenters have decades of experience in the specialist field of claim preparation. They are known for their dynamic and engaging presentation style. You will benefit from face to face mentorship and support throughout the course.

Common questions
There are no minimum qualifications but you will need to understand the construction process and have a basic knowledge of construction contracts. The course is suitable for many disciplines, but particularly, quantity surveyors, contract administrators, planners, controllers, engineers and those who deal with contractual and commercial matters. Those whose job it is to manage claims, such as project managers, contracts managers and architects will also gain knowledge of the process.
The course is not heavily reliant on any particular form of contract. However, the assignment case studies and examples demonstrated throughout the course refer to FIDIC for illustration purposes only. We have chosen FIDIC as it is a straight-forward form of contract, widely used on projects across the world.

Those whose job it is to manage claims, such as project managers, contracts managers and architects will also gain knowledge of the process.
The course is not heavily reliant on any particular form of contract because most standard forms include entitlement to time and/or payment under similar circumstances. What you learn will therefore be applicable to whatever form of contract you are working with. Having said that, we do make the course relevant to the region in which we are presenting so you will find that the clauses used within the presentation and the case studies will be based on forms of contracts frequently used in the location of the course. In the Middle East for example, we refer to FIDIC whereas in the UK we refer to JCT and NEC.
The only difference between these courses is the mode of delivery. The workshop is delivered in a classroom setting over 2-days, whereas the e-course is delivered online and you are able to log on anytime, anywhere to access the course content. In addition to the Construction Claims Intermediate E-course, we also have a Basic e-course and the difference between those lies in the learning outcomes and benefits they provide. Check out our comparison page to compare construction claims e-courses.

Understanding Claims Under the FIDIC Contracts
Understanding Claims under the FIDIC Contracts
Workshop
Gain confidence in handling claims using the globally recognised FIDIC forms of contract in a hands on, practical group setting
FIDIC is the global body that writes and produces many standard form construction contracts.
Maybe you’ve worked on projects using the FIDIC contracts and had to manage construction claims, but are still confused. Under what circumstances can a claim be made? What exactly can be claimed? What is the correct protocol for each Engineer response or determination?
We know how you feel. We’ve asked these same questions over the years and have waded through the same frustrations. Find the answer to these questions and many more.
Get in touch today and secure your workshop.
Make FIDIC Claims a Simple and Headache-free Process.
If you are looking to seriously enhance your understanding of this subject, our Understanding Claims Under the FIDIC Contracts workshop is perfect for you. In a hands-on, interactive group setting, we’ll look at real-life scenarios relating to the FIDIC Red, Yellow, Silver and Gold Books. You’ll break down each clause within these various FIDIC contracts and understand how each one works.

The focus is on practical rather than theoretical learning with group assignments and case studies based on real projects. As a result, you will acquire a new level of understanding to apply immediately to your own work.
You’ll also benefit from face to face mentorship and support of tutors with decades of experience on projects using the FIDIC contracts. Our experts are claims specialists, known for their dynamic and engaging presentation style.

General Discussion & Close Out
Our workshops are the result of decades of expertise in the construction industry, especially within the specialist field of construction contracts and claims.
We've been faced with all manner of contracts and had to work out what the clauses mean and how to correctly interpret them from both contractor, employer and engineer perspectives. Basically, we've been through the difficulties that you are currently facing and understand your frustrations, and we’ve put all that hands-on experience into shaping this dynamic learning experience.
Our 3-day Practical Use of the FIDIC Contracts workshop is perfect for you if you are able to take a little time out of the working week to gain the knowledge you need to do in order to do your job well. Whether you are new to the world of FIDIC or wish to refresh your knowledge, we guarantee that this course will help you.
