AkobuildMake construction contract decisions. Live with the consequences.
Construction contract administration scenarios for QS and PM professionals — realistic NEC4 decisions, played from both sides of the table, with your CPD record built as you go.
Same project. Same contract. Opposite sides of the table.
Employer's team — PM, QS, Employer's Agent: protecting the client's commercial position. Checking entitlement before accepting claims. Verifying evidence before certifying payment.
Contractor's team — Contracts Manager, Commercial Manager, site QS: protecting legitimate entitlements. Notifying early warnings and compensation events on time. Building a defensible quotation. Not leaving money on the table.
Same contract. Same clauses. Same deadlines. Completely different pressures — and nothing else teaches both sides of the same real project.
