COURSE OBJECTIVES |
|
The Covid-19 lockdown since early 2020 had caused an adverse impact on the construction industry – including site constraints, workforce availability, materials availability, payment issues, delays, extensions of time, terminations, increased costs and several other issues.
Under the “new normal”, critical issues that had to addressed by industry players include, inter alia, new contract terms, output rates for activities on site, sourcing materials and labour, travel and accommodation for workers, renegotiation of new terms by contractors with employers, suppliers, financiers.
On 30 May 2021, the Ministry of Works issued an official statement that as part of the government’s continuing effort to address the COVID-19 pandemic, all construction works should be suspended during the Full Movement Control Order from 1 June 2021 until 14 June 2021, which was later extended. However, critical construction works were allowed to be carried out during the FMCO.
According to the National Security Council’s media statement on 31 May 2021, applications for permission to operate for all economic sectors must be submitted to the Ministry of International Trade and Industry’s Covid-19 Intelligent Management System (CIMS). Companies carrying out critical construction work were allowed to maintain their normal operating hours, but their workforce capacity was capped at 60 per cent.
This new online course will address to what extent the “old rules” which have been so well-established in the pre-pandemic era can still apply under the “new normal”, and to what extent government interventions and initiatives (legislative and executive) have been made available to help out distressed industry players in this country. The course will also examine measures (policy, legal, administrative and economic) that had been put in place in other jurisdictions to protect the construction industry players, mitigate their financial hardship, and resolve disputes amongst the several parties affected by the pandemic and the prolonged lockdown. |
