Across the east coast of Australia, there is an infrastructure boom.

This ARBS seminar is for HVACR companies and commercial building services contractors to learn the theory and practice of transitioning from commercial to industrial infrastructure projects..

At the same time, the stories of contractor and government court battles, contractors going under, and skilled labour shortages circulate with alarming frequency. Holding these infrastructure projects together is a web of interwoven contracts.

Overlaid across these contracts is a complex patina of legislation and pre-existing relationships. In a landscape of increased quality assurance, monitoring, evaluation, and complex risk management, HVACR companies and building services providers are looking for guidance when considering upcoming infrastructure opportunities.

This ARBS seminar will outline the differences between commercial and infrastructure contracts and explore the contracts, legislation and relationships that commercial building services contractors need to navigate to find success.

Attendees will hear case studies from the complex infrastructure world to understand why some projects can turn sour.

Understand the overall framework that governs infrastructure projects.and where the money should be spent for risk mitigation.

Sharpe & Abel legal director, Melissa Kirby, will present this ARBS seminar session.
