Why Should You Attend?
The limited time of University / Polytechnic study
programmes and the necessity to deliver a vast
amount of material essential to practice a discipline
such as Quantity Surveying, Engineering, Architecture
etc, do not allow for space to teach the
errors/shortcomings in Standard Forms of Contract
such as FIDIC, and the incorrect practices in the
Industry, and therefore there is no choice other than to
gain such rare knowledge from the industry experts, in
order to identify the Best Practice.

How much does it Cost?
BD 160/- for both days (including
course materials, Lunch and
refreshments)
All
participants
successfully
completing the course will receive a
certificate for 12 CPD hours.
