The SA have said places are limited to 25 on a first come first served basis. There is a small charge for the event and discount for members of the Scaffolding Association.

Topics will include:

  • Knowing your contract – what to look out for and the risks if you don’t
  • How much control do you have?
  • Payment notices – the payment scheme and how it applies to you.
  • Variations/changes – risk management, fixed-price contracts etc.
  • What happens if you don’t get paid? – suspending your works or termination.
