KNOWLEDGE How much do you know about BIM, Complex Projects Contracts, Procurement and the Law?

> If the answer to the question is "everything there is to know", then you won’t be interested in the Masterclasses this autumn

In London, the autumn series will look at procurement: the risks and challenges, ideas and tips for assessing and preparing programmes for tender, the latest changes in the law, dealing with legal disputes and much more. Experts from the top law fi rms and Hill International will be on hand to help and explain everything important about procurement.

In Turkey (Ankara) and in Ireland (Dublin) the Masterclasses will look more generally at the many current issues facing the construction industry. Information from leading experts will cover subjects as diverse as BIM, the new construction laws in those countries, methods of dispute resolution and techniques for analysing delay and disruption.

Finally, in Dubai, the Masterclass

will look at risks of working with bonds and insurance. The event will focus on how bonds and insurance work. It will examine how they interact with contracts and how to maximise the chances of success if you need to use a bond or a policy in the course of a project.

Masterclasses take place across the world on critical subjects, and CIOB members have priority discounted places, so take advantage today. Visit www.hillintluk.com or email stuartwilks@hillintl.com
