The SpeakersThis seminar has been designed to focus on time and cost claim considerations in major projects. These two elements and payment disputes remain the principal issues in contract management and often pose as significant risks in meeting project objectives. The seminar is intended to give participants a basic understanding of principles behind delay and cost submissions. Participants will also have an opportunity to appreciate how the new Construction Industry Payment & Adjudication Act 2012 (CIPAA) is likely to affect the payment disputes in Malaysia. Topics that will be presented are:

Delay/EOT & Disruption, by Shamila NeelakandanOften, a project’s success is gauged by how quickly the turnaround period to completion is achieved. Meeting the targeted completion date is a challenge given that not all delay events can be anticipated at commencement of contract. Where these can be identified, the contract provides for an extension of time mechanism. This session discusses the various perspectives to delay associated claims, with a focus on delay events and entitlement based on cause and effect.

Valuation & Cost Claims, by Shawn ChongClaims and valuation of cost claims are controversial to Employers, Contract Administrators and Contractors alike. Significant amount of resources and time are spent each year by Contractors in submitting claims, followed by Contract Administrator’s assessment and proper valuation before these are addressed by Employer. Undoubtedly, Employer’s management resources will need to be expended to deal with claims. To the extent that claims are unavoidable, this session will deal with the genesis of claims and covers instructions, change orders, variations, claims arising from documentation, execution of work, breach and/or termination issues. This session will present the subject matter of claims from the often opposing perspectives of Employers, Contract Administrators and Contractors.

Construction Industry Payment & Adjudication Act 2012 (CIPAA) A Legal and Practical Perspective, by Chang Wei MunThe Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act 2012 (“CIPAA”) is expected to come into operation this year whereupon it will bring about compulsory statutory adjudication as an alternative method for resolving disputes. The experience of other countries shows that this will revolutionize how construction disputes are resolved. This talk is designed to introduce adjudication to those who will be most affected by it. We will touch upon how parties can make use of and defend themselves in adjudication and how this will impact them in the way they do business.

Workshop SessionThis workshop is meant to be an interactive session on the presentation and assessment of time and cost claims. A case study will be presented to attendees for analysis and critique; addressing the basis of claims, and considerations to be taken into account when presenting such claims.

Who will be attending: Owners, Developers, Contractors, Subcontractors, Architects, Engineers, Consultants and Government Agencies
