Government restrictions on rents have made it crucial that housing providers watch every penny they spend. Research has shown that most providers are paying their contractors somewhere between 5% and 30% more than their contract says. In this workshop we will cover:

• Common areas of overpayment and cost overruns
• How work is valued under construction contracts and the "interim" and "final" payments processes
• Possible tactics when an overpayment is discovered
• Construction Act payment notices, pay less notices and relevant case law
