About this course

Knowing what you’re entitled to under a construction contract — and how to evidence and enforce it — is essential for protecting commercial outcomes. This one-day course provides a clear, practical introduction to contractual entitlements, helping participants understand how entitlements arise, what records are needed to support them, and how to respond when time or money is at risk.

Covering key clauses, procedures, and dispute pathways, the course gives attendees the tools to better manage claims, notices, and change events in line with contract requirements.
