Course Overview

Protecting entitlements and revenue through execution.

Effective commercial management is essential for protecting contractual entitlements, managing project revenue, administering subcontract agreements, and maintaining financial visibility throughout construction execution.

This course focuses on the practical responsibilities of contractor-side commercial management, including interim payment applications, subcontract administration, variation management, commercial reporting, and final account settlement.

Participants will explore how commercial teams manage contractual and financial matters throughout the project lifecycle and coordinate with project management, planning, cost control, and contracts departments.

The course is intended to combine practical commercial procedures with realistic construction project examples, templates, and case studies.
