This unit (NBC4001) develops students' understanding of the responsibilities of various stakeholders as well as their liabilities by comparing different types of procurement systems and project delivery in built environment projects. The law relating to principles and practice of project procurement management is also considered. Practical assessments will equip students to both develop skills in analysing contractual issues and facilitate relationships between various stakeholders in a project. The roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder, risk apportionment between various stakeholders and determination of risks to be covered by insurances, bonds or other risk allocation instruments are all investigated.
