This Course is organised in response to the excellent feedback and request for more in-depth sessions pursuant to the Engineering 101 and Common Construction Disputes vs. Construction Challenges papers presented at the 2008 Joint SCL-Law Society Annual Conference in 2008. It is aimed at Lawyers, Quantity Surveyors and any non-Engineers working in a construction-related profession, who want to learn more comprehensively the basics of engineering principles, construction projects, construction techniques and related challenges.

The 2.5-day Course comprises five modules tailor-made for non-Engineers, covering Construction Features, Construction Facts and Figures, Engineering principles, Construction Project teams and their role, Construction Execution and common Construction Disputes vs. Construction Challenges. The Course will enable participants to achieve some insights into the Singapore Construction Sector, including comparison to some overseas examples.
