Building contracts

Contracts can present a minefield of complexities. Nowhere is this more true than in the fast-evolving construction and engineering sectors.

With invaluable understanding of industry practices, we are experts in drafting and advising on agreements such as standard forms of contract and partnering contracts.

We have advised on most major contracts including:

  • JCT 1998, JCT 2005 suites
  • NEC 3 suite, including professional services
  • JCT IFC , JCT Minor Works, JCT Framework
  • ICE 5th, 6th and 7th Editions
  • DOM/1 and DOM/2
  • ICE Design & Construct and Minor Works
  • FIDIC
  • I. Chem. E.
  • IEE Model Form
  • GC/Works 

We act for a broad range of clients involved in a wide varierty of projects. They include developers, contractors, sub-contractors, employers, consultants, insurers and funders. Projects have included new build as well as redevelopment and span. Examples include:

  • Commercial – a full range of industrial premises, offices and hotels
  • Energy – power stations, wind farms and alternative energy production
  • Process plant – food and chemical process plant, factories and storage
  • Residential – large-scale residential developments to individually-designed accommodation
  • Transport – road, rail, sea and air travel and freight facilities

We can prepare electronic versions of the JCT Contracts to provide clear documentation, avoiding piecemeal amendments.
