Semester 6 - Construction Law

Lecturer: Mr. Eddie Lim Sek Cheon



Through this subject, we have learned about contractual related knowledge, for example, breach of contract, negligence claims, law relating to payments, collateral contracts, dispute resolution and etc. By learning these knowledge, we are 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 statutes, Moreovver, we also able to learn the skill on analysing, interpreting and applying the knowledge of the principles of law in administration of contracts and contractual claims including providing evidence of reasoned advice in relation to contractual claims and interpretation of any discrepancies of various contract documents.

I especially like to attend Mr Eddie's class as he is a super nice and approachable guy. Although his class was full of laughter, but he still manage to teach and pass us the knowledge about construction law.

During the assignment, we were assigned to analyze a contractor's submission for loss & expense claim due to termination of contract as a Quantity Surveyor. From this assignment, we learned to assess whether the contractor is entitle to claim for his loss and expenses based on the substantiated document he submitted. Besides that, we also assess on his legal capacity. For example, whether or not did the contractor taken any steps to mitigate the loss or whether or not is the loss too remote to be claim



Lastly, I like this subject so much and I hope I can score well in this subject. Wahahahaha.
