About this Seminar
Project consultants are often juggling and walking a tight rope when designing employer requirements, specifications, tender information and overseeing the development and delivery of construction projects. In many instances, they serve statutory functions as QP, whilst acting as the employer’s agent and putting on yet another cap as independent certifier. With so many competing aspects of their role, how do project consultants manage it all? We discuss these issues with a learned panel formed by an experienced construction arbitrator, a practicing architect and construction disputes lawyer.
