About this Event - 7 May 2019
After Lacrosse: Consulting Agreements v Retainer Agreements v Terms of Engagement, Contract Management and the Role of Building Surveyors
Free access to your tailored contract, just by attending this important training event.
Whether you are with a Council offering building assessment services or in the private sector, this training has been specifically developed for you!
Given the recent Lacrosse judgements, building surveyors are increasingly in the spotlight! This judgment has brought the role of building surveyors and the contracts that they use, into sharp focus.
AIBS has partnered with KelledyJones Lawyers to prepare template agreements for each State and Territory for use by members as well as a comprehensive professional development seminar which, together, are intended to ensure that members are aware of their statutory and contractual rights and obligations so that they adhere to statutory requirements, as relevant and mitigate risk arising from decision-making, provision of advice and consultancy work undertaken.
These contracts will be made available free to members just by attending this training event. Do not sign any other contacts until you have been to this training!
Building surveyors must adhere to a raft of statutory obligations when making decisions on building applications and must carefully manage their statutory responsibilities so that they do not find themselves in a situation where they have a conflict between their statutory obligations and their obligations under consultancy arrangements.
Further, where contracts are entered into, they can impose additional obligations, indemnities and liabilities which may result in a building surveyor or their employer being held liable for damages in place of a builder.
The professional development seminar covers the following topics:
- Setting the scene: statutory responsibilities and oversight and its impact on contracts, client relationships and risk management.
- Contract law basics - what makes a contract and when are contracts enforceable?
- Best practice in contract negotiations and documentation
- Contract management - the ink is dry, now what?
- intellectual property - what is it, who owns it an how does it affect my business?
- Security of payment legislation and how it affects contract management and cash flow
- Managing breaches and termination.
Case studies will be used through the seminar and Q&A opportunities will be included to ensure that attendees obtain maximum benefit. Further, attendees will get a 'first look' at the template agreements prepared for use by AIBS members along with information as how to they can be used in their practice.
