Structural Design Engineering Contracts and Practical Dispute Examples

Overview

This event will focus on the critical aspects of fee structuring and proposal development, offering valuable insights for consultants working on projects of varying scales. Our speaker will explore common methods for deriving fees, including percentage-based models, lump sums, time charges and hybrid approaches.

He will also explain how to form effective fee proposals, which often serve as the first document reviewed in contract validation, dispute resolution or checks. This includes how these proposals typically form the backbone of client-consultant agreements and how they integrate with workload forecasting, invoicing, bookkeeping, and even the competency duties outlined in the Building Safety Act.

Additionally, the session will highlight practical lessons learned from previous projects, including key considerations for growing workloads, experiences from small claims cases, the importance of bespoke appointment documents and effective work approaches as project demands increase.

There is an opportunity for questions at the end.
