Semester 2 Session 2015/2016
_______________________________________________________________________
THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE PROGRAMME
The process of procuring construction projects are getting more complex and
challenging not only because projects are getting bigger, taller and more
sophisticated but more professional consultants, specialised firms and companies are
also involved Increasing number of corporate and public clients are now asking for
more efficient and effective management approach as well as speedier, simpler and
less intricate project procurement systems and contractual arrangement. At the
same time the construction industry has significantly becoming more globalised as
such much procurement, legal and managerial process and procedure are now being
internationalized. It has led to the increasing use of various non-traditional and
international contracting systems such as Design and Build Contract, Management
Contracting, Cost Reimbursable Contract, BOT Contract, Direct Investment Contract
etc. that saw many changes to the legal and procedural practices and approaches.
It is therefore very apt for todays project managers and/or contract managers to be
very well verse with the legal and procedural aspects of construction law and the
various procurement systems.
The basic philosophy of this programme is that a project manager or contract
manager will be more adept to evaluate and select an appropriate procurement
approach and managing its contractual and procedural aspects more efficiently and
effectively, if he/she is very conversant with construction law and operational
aspects of the various contracting systems. At the same time, he/she can be a better
manager and arbitrator if he/she has a thorough knowledge about arbitration and
other dispute resolution approaches.
THE AIM OF THE PROGRAMME
The programme is designed to provide advanced education to construction and
engineering professional and graduates who are seeking greater knowledge and
experience in construction law and operational aspects of the various construction
procurement systems and wishing to broaden their careers into the specialised field
of construction contract management with emphasise on project procurement,
contracting and contract management and dispute resolutions.
