PARTNERING COURSES

Auditing + Improving Partnering

Category: Partnering
PLEASE NOTE: There are no dates planned for this course during our Spring Term as a Public Course. The Course is still available as an In- House Course.

Partnering contracts and longer term “strategic” partnering arrangements have been developed in the constructions industry over the last 15 years. Some of these arrangements are working well and providing substantial value benefits to the partners. Others are struggling to rise above the results that can be achieved in straight single-contract tendering.

This BRAND NEW COURSE will provide delegates with newly-developed tools and processes to evaluate and quantify the benefits of their partnering arrangements, leading to further improvements in performance. Delegates will use these tools in the course and will be encouraged to develop these and the processes for use in their own partnering relationships.

WHO WILL BENEFIT?
This course will benefit contractors, consultants and clients in the public and private sectors who are signed up to partnering contracts and longer term arrangements.
Public Course Delegate Rate: £280 plus VAT
No scheduled dates currently available. In-house only.

Latest developments in Partnering Contracts – PPC, JCT and NEC

Category: Partnering
• Partnering as a concept has been with us for a long time, but the contracts available to facilitate partnering have been developed over the last 8 years or so and that process continues. This BRAND NEW 1 DAY COURSE considers Partnering contracts and contractual arrangements, looks at the team working relationships, the matrix of contracts and contractual relationships and the allocation of risk between the parties. In so doing the course will review the approach of the PPC and TPC forms (amended 2008) published by the ACA, JCT CE (2006) and the NEC3 option X12 approach as well as the other aspects of this topic such as target cost contracting, pre-construction services and Framework Agreements.

Do you know your CDM Regulations?

03/09/2010 10:48:31
The British Property Federation and the Construction Clients' Group issued a report in July 2010 revealing that two thirds of companies commissioning construction services have no knowledge whatsoever of the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations. These regulations - commonly referred to as the CDM Regs and updated in 2007 - apply to almost all construction projects undertaken in the UK.

They were introduced in an effort to improve the management and co-ordination of health and safety and welfare issues in construction projects, and to reduce accidents and cases of ill health in the construction industry.

The recent figures are cause for significant concern. A person or company commissioning works are responsible for them even though they may not handle the works themselves. They cannot delegate this responsibility as was once the case. This means that a person or company with no experience in construction can be held responsible for accidents during building works, and hit with jail terms or unlimited fines, in both civil and criminal actions.

If you are aware that your team are falling short in their knowledge of the CDM regulations, please take a look at our courses designed specifically to increase awareness in the CDM Regulations for construction professionals. ‘Working with CDM 2007’ is a one day general update course designed for those new to construction or CDM, or for those who want to update and refresh their knowledge on the CDM Regs. ‘CDM for Designers’ is our brand new one day course intended to clarify the important role of ‘designers’ and ‘specifiers’ under the CDM regulations. ‘Becoming a CDM Co-ordinator under CDM 2007’ is a three day course specifically for those with professional and managerial experience to aid their understanding of the CDM Co-ordinator Role. For more details please see the course programmes listed on our site or call 0845 3133 414 for more information.
