AS2124 – in practice

AS2124 – in practice

AS2124 training covering extensions of time, latent conditions, variations, Superintendent roles, payment, disputes and practical contract administration in construction projects.

About this course

AS2124 remains one of the most influential construction contracts used across Australian projects and continues to underpin many heavily amended contracts still operating throughout the industry. While widely recognised, AS2124 is often associated with highly contractual and adversarial project environments involving complex claims, risk transfer and strict administrative requirements.

In practice, many project teams struggle not because the contract mechanisms are unclear, but because the operational and commercial implications of AS2124 are poorly understood during live project delivery. Issues involving notices, delays, latent conditions, variations, payment and Superintendent administration regularly become major sources of dispute and commercial tension.

AS2124 in Practice is a practical, implementation-focused training course designed to provide construction professionals with a clear operational understanding of AS2124 and how the contract functions within real project environments.

Delivered by Steven Evans, the course draws upon extensive experience advising contractors, subcontractors and project teams across complex construction and infrastructure projects.
