The CICV has continued its pipeline of essential commercial advice with the release of a new YouTube playlist entitled Effective Contract Management in Construction.
Derived from the CICV Best Practice Guide, the series of seven panel discussions aim to help Scottish contractors and sub-contractors refine their management of building contracts.
The videos provide essential strategies for improving payment practices and cash flow, enhancing cooperation, collaboration, and commitment, and heightening contractual awareness to prevent disputes and improve on-site efficiency.
These strategies are illustrated through practical, real-life examples that underscore their relevance and applicability.
The range of open resource videos are presented by the following panel of respected industry experts:
- Len Bunton, Bunton Consulting
- Ian Honeyman, Scottish Building Federation
- David MacDonald, Scottish Futures Trust
- Iain McIlwee, Finishes and Interiors Sector
- Janey Milligan, Construction Dispute Resolution
Key discussion topics include quality and defects, payment schedules, conflict avoidance strategies, insurance coverage implications, contract amendments, tender qualifications and managing variations.
Len , who chairs the CICV’s Pipeline and Commercial sub-group, said: “We are extremely grateful to everyone who has given up their time to create this new resource, and we ask that everyone who works in construction helps promote both the videos and the Best Practice Guide to help improve conditions for everyone in the industry.”
