For civil engineering contractors and subcontractors, matters relating to ground and physical conditions are likely to be the most significant risk on any project. This session will cover the following:
- What does the phrase “physical conditions” mean
- How do standard forms deal with “ground and physical conditions”
- Relevant case law
The seminar will be delivered by Geraldine Fleming, Operations Director at Diales. Geraldine has worked in the construction industry for over 25 years, specialising in dispute resolution for the last 20. She is a Chartered Quantity Surveyor, and also holds a law degree.
She has been employed on preparing, defending and negotiating claims on a wide range of projects both in the UK and overseas. She has experience of, and has worked with, a wide range of contracts and sub-contracts including standard and non-standard forms and regularly drafts and comments on such contracts.
She has experience across all sectors of the industry in dispute resolution, and lectures regularly for many professional associations such as the RICS, RIBA, CIOB, ECA and ICE.
