Quarterly Construction Law Seminar

HFW Partners Michael Sergeant and Robert Blundell will be hosting a seminar on construction and design risk. The seminar will consider the key risks connected with construction under both build-only contracts and design-build.

Date

1 May 2014

Location

HFW London

Summary

The following important issues will be addressed:

• Who takes the risk if it is impossible to build the contract scope?
• How should ambiguities or gaps in the scope be treated?
• Unexpected site conditions mean that the planned design needs to be changed: is this a variation?
• Where the methodology for building the works cannot be followed.
• What does "fitness for purpose" mean?
• Putting specific performance standards in contracts.
• What happens when your design standards conflict?
