Event Overview

Synopsis

PART I : When Completed, What Next?When a construction project reaches completion, it marks a milestone in terms of risk transfer,

payment issues and damages liability. What constitutes completion is significant and different

contracts describe it in a variety of ways with expressions such as practical completion, completion

and taking over to connote completion. The first part of the seminar discusses the key watchpoints

that the Employer and the Contract Administrator should be aware of when the works are said to be

completed under the PAM Contract Form, JKR Form and the FIDIC Conditions of Contract.

PART II : Claims Key Issues for the Practitioner

Claims a word which means different things to different people and can cause strained relations,

endless exchanges of correspondence and considerable resources. Claims are simple to originate

but not always easy to substantiate. What are the records a Contractor should be expected to keep

for satisfactory demonstration of his entitlement? What are the potential heads of claim to be

considered?

The second part examines these key issues within the contractual environment, the

supporting documents necessary for evidential purposes and how claims should be ascertained to

ensure the Employer pays no more in time and cost, and the Contractor recovers no less.

PART III : GST Essentials Revisited

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) came into effect on 1 April 2015. For the construction industry,

its unusual payment system and development process attract a unique set of requirements for GST

reporting and accounting. There are also transitional matters to be considered especially for projects

straddling the GST implementation date.

This final part discusses the basic concepts of GST from the practice perspective and the attendant

effects on issues such as progress payments, retention fund, final accounts, tender deposits and

liquidated damages. It will also include an overview of the practice guidelines and approach forsegregation of construction costs in respect of mixed developments where only the input tax for the

taxable supply (or non-residential) component can be fully recoverable.
