A new suite of JCT Contracts - JCT Contracts Edition 2011- have just been released in line with the 'The Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009' and will apply, in England, from 1 October 2011.
The Construction Act 2009 has already been covered in a previous programme in this series and so this programme will look, in some detail, at the Contracts themselves.
Description
This is a studio interview referencing a number of contracts BUT because of the level of complexity, detail and range, we will only look at some of the headline issues while recommending that people refer to NBS and the documents themselves. This programme will be a potential taster.
Key learning points:
- The contracts - an overview
- Pre-Construction Service Agreement
- Project Bank Accounts
- The sustainability provisions
- Payment clauses and provisions
- Choosing contracts
