Advanced Contract and Claim Drafting Workshop
12th & 13th October 2026, Holiday Inn Mumbai International Airport
Construction contracts bring together engineering, project management, commercial, contractual and legal considerations. With major infrastructure projects increasing in scale and complexity, effective contract and claims management requires more than experience—it requires a structured understanding of contractual clauses, communications, entitlement, cost quantification and dispute avoidance.
Bloomasia Incorporated presents this practical Advanced Contract and Claims Drafting Workshop to help professionals strengthen their ability to interpret, draft, communicate and manage construction contracts and claims. The programme focuses on practical situations, group exercises, real-life case studies and issues faced by participants.
The workshop highlights how appropriate contractual drafting, timely communication and a clear understanding of entitlements can support project success, protect commercial interests, improve cash flow and reduce the likelihood of disputes.
