About this course

AS4000 remains one of the most widely used construction contracts in Australia. While many project teams are familiar with the contract itself, projects often encounter difficulties because the operational and commercial implications of the contract provisions are not fully understood during live project delivery.

In practice, issues involving notices, extensions of time, payment, variations and dispute procedures regularly arise under commercial pressure and tight project timeframes. Successful contract administration under AS4000 depends not only on understanding the wording of the contract, but also on understanding how the mechanisms operate in real project environments.

AS4000 in Practice is a practical, implementation-focused training course designed to provide construction professionals with a clear operational understanding of AS4000 and its application across live construction projects.

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