The ABC of JCT Contracts: Key Principles in 30 Minutes

Introduction

The JCT Contract is the elder statesman for industry: solid, respected, and trustworthy. But if you have never come across it, where should you start? Here! It is not easy to read and takes some unpicking, but as it is used widely - from the smallest everyday projects to the biggest, most complex ones - it is one you should get familiar with.

Sharply-focussed on commercial rigour, the JCT Contract demands actions from both Parties, and a Contract Administrator or Employer’s Agent. Relying heavily on everyone doing their bit, the latest update (2024) brings JCT into the modern era. Confident and competent JCT users should be aware of the contract rules and process steps, including Contract Particulars, Change, and time and money events. Contract administration activities to manage Works to Practical Completion will be explored.
