QSB4414 - Construction Law

Construction law enables me to understand the basics of construction law and the importance of adhering to the specific procedure. It teaches me how to apply the wide ranges of law and remedies during disputes. Also, it allows me to have a better understanding of the many laws related to payments, contractual claims and interpretation rules of ambiguity found in documents.

In construction law, i am able to identify, explain and distinguish the various laws related to the construction industry including land law and construction statutes by demonstrating knowledge and understanding of the principles in law, conditions of contract and the applicable statues. This subject provides me skills to analyze, interpret and apply knowledge of the principles of law in the administration of contracts and contractual claims. Also, evidence is provided as a prove for a reasonable decision in relation to contraction claims and interpretations of any discrepancies of various contract documents.

Furhtermore, in the construction law subject, we were divided into groups of 2 or 3 to present the topic of the week taught by our lecturer, this is called a seminar. In the seminar, i have learn to work together with my group mate to divide the topic of our presentation fairly. We have work together to prepare slides and questions to the audiences that were present that day. This has helped me improve my communication  skills. 


Lastly, the assignment given to us in construction law subject was, a scenario where there was a dispute between two parties. We were to to analyze the case and provide suitable principles of law of contractual claims and include the appropriate evidence. This is to enable us to provide an reasonable solution to resolve the dispute. This assignment has given me the chance to realize what a real life dispute would be like and how to apply the appropriate principles of law.
