Master Canadian procurement frameworks, control engineering budgets, and mitigate contract risks to deliver complex infrastructure on budget.
Procurement and cost management sit at the heart of successful engineering project delivery, yet Canada’s contractual and regulatory environment is undergoing significant change. With the 2025 updates to the CCDC construction management suite and the continued expansion of prompt payment and adjudication legislation across provinces, engineering professionals must now navigate increasingly complex requirements around cash flow, contract administration, and risk allocation.
This practical course equips participants with a clear framework for aligning procurement strategy with project risk while maintaining strong cost control across the project lifecycle. It translates evolving contractual and regulatory obligations into day-to-day engineering practice, covering estimating, change management, claims, and certification responsibilities. Through cross-sector examples, participants will gain actionable insight into managing commercial and contractual decisions across owner, consultant, and contractor roles in today’s fast-changing delivery environment.
