About Our Construction Claims and Variation Management Training

Edoxi's Construction Claims and Variation Management Training is a 5-day programme designed for professionals who manage contractual change and entitlement on construction and infrastructure projects. Claims and variations are among the most common sources of cost overruns, delays and disputes, and handling them correctly can make the difference between a profitable project and a costly legal battle.

The course explores how standard forms of contract, particularly FIDIC, allocate risk and define procedures for variations, extensions of time and additional payment. You will learn to identify entitlement, serve compliant notices, maintain contemporaneous records and build well-substantiated claims that withstand scrutiny from engineers, employers and tribunals.

Through practical workshops and real-world case studies, participants practise delay analysis, quantum assessment, variation valuation and claim response techniques. The programme also covers negotiation, adjudication, Dispute Avoidance Boards and arbitration, giving you a complete view of the claims lifecycle from early warning to final resolution.

Whether you represent a contractor, employer, consultant or subcontractor, this training builds the commercial and contractual confidence needed to protect your organisation's interests and maintain professional working relationships.

Enrol now to gain the expertise to prepare, evaluate and resolve construction claims and variations with confidence.
