Contractors go under not because they lack work but because payment dries up while costs keep running. This course covers the monthly cycle of measuring work done, valuing materials on site, issuing payment certificates and forecasting cash on a construction project. It is grounded in the payment provisions common to building contracts used across Southern and East Africa.
Quantity surveyors, contracts administrators, site agents, finance staff and subcontract managers on construction projects.
