The Manual of Contract Documents for Highway Works is used for the preparation of the majority of UK highway construction and maintenance schemes (both on Trunk roads including Motorways and roads which are the responsibility of Local Authorities). It consists of Volumes 0 to 6 inclusive. The Employer's technical requirements are set out in accordance with Volumes 1 and 2, the Specification for Highway Works and it deals with methods of billing and payment issues. This course gives delegates the opportunity to understand how Volume 4 operates in order to ensure that bills of quantities are prepared properly and Contractors make due allowance for including elements of work when tendering and claim those items to which they are contractually entitled in payment statements. Practical exercises are included to ensure that delegates are fully familiar with the system.
