Description

The “Contracts & Risk Management for Architects and Designers” course is an advanced CPD program designed to help architects and design professionals strengthen their understanding of legal, contractual, and insurance obligations in practice. It covers how to interpret and manage different contract types (such as ABIC and AS 4122), identify risky clauses, and ensure compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC). Through real-world examples and case studies, participants learn how to mitigate liability, avoid disputes, and maintain alignment between contracts, professional indemnity insurance, and regulatory standards.
