DECEMBER 2024 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
International Contract Management Forum
The International Contract Management Forum 2024, held on 27 November 2024 in Pasig City Philippines, brought together industry leaders and experts to discuss the latest strategies and best practices in construction contract management. Organized by the International Federation of Asian and Western Pacific Contractors’ Associations (IFAWPCA) and Inc., the event was hosted by the Philippine Constructors Association in collaboration with the Philippine Institute of Construction Arbitrators and Mediators (PICAM), the Construction Industry Authority of the Philippines (CIAP), and the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB).
I was in the panel discussion on the subject matter of dispute avoidance. I shared on collaborative contracting as per our latest CIDB 2022 standard form of contract, the provisions of early warning system and DRB. Our industries are facing the similar issues, such as payments disputes and long process of arbitration and adjudication which can’t help the project cash flow at all. The sharing session ended on a positive note.
