Overview

Construction Law Claims and Dispute Resolution Course is a five-day intermediate course for contract managers, commercial managers, project managers, engineers, quantity surveyors, claims professionals, contractors, consultants, and client representatives. Participants connect contract formation, interpretation, risk allocation, notices, records, time, payment, variations, claims, negotiation, mediation, dispute boards, arbitration preparation, evidence, settlement decisions, and lessons learned. Agile Leaders Training Center presents a jurisdiction-neutral case-management workflow that produces a Construction Dispute Resolution Case Pack.

Who Should Attend

Contract and commercial managers handling construction rights, duties, and claims
Project managers and engineers managing notices, time, payment, and change records
Quantity surveyors and claims professionals preparing entitlement and valuation cases
Contractors and consultants involved in negotiation, mediation, or dispute-board referrals
Client representatives reviewing evidence, strategy, authority, and settlement options

The course assumes participants work with construction contracts or claims. It develops management judgment and case readiness without providing jurisdiction-specific legal advice, advocacy qualifications, or a substitute for counsel.

FAQs

Who suits the Construction Law Claims and Dispute Resolution Course?

It suits construction professionals who manage contract issues, prepare or review claims, negotiate disagreements, support dispute proceedings, or approve settlement strategy.

Does this course provide legal advice?

No. It teaches transferable contract-management and dispute-resolution processes. Participants must obtain qualified advice on governing law, enforceability, procedure, and project-specific rights.

What records strengthen a construction claim?

Useful records connect the contract requirement, event, notice, chronology, responsibility, programme effect, resource or cost impact, mitigation, communications, instructions, calculations, and requested remedy.

How do mediation and arbitration differ?

Mediation helps parties pursue an agreed settlement through a neutral facilitator who does not impose an outcome. Arbitration uses an agreed adjudicative procedure that normally ends in an award.

What does the capstone deliverable contain?

The Construction Dispute Resolution Case Pack includes contract and risk maps, a notice calendar, chronology, entitlement and valuation analysis, an evidence index, negotiation mandate, mediation options, referral roadmap, settlement controls, and lessons learned.

Conclusion

Participants take back a Construction Dispute Resolution Case Pack that connects contract interpretation, notices, records, claims, evidence, negotiation, mediation, dispute boards, arbitration preparation, settlement authority, and learning. The pack supports proportionate and traceable dispute decisions without replacing legal advice, formal representation, or project-specific approvals.
