FAQ

JCT contracts are known for being highly prescriptive. Although the standardised format may provide clarity, it can also limit flexibility. Each JCT contract is structured around a specific set of terms and clauses, which may not suit every project's unique needs or challenges.

The Standard JCT Contract is drafted to suit larger works, or works of a complex nature that involve a high degree of building services or specialist work and its drafting to include provisions allowing: for the contractor to design discrete parts of the works.

Clause 4.11 – In the event of non-payment or non-compliance with the above-mentioned Clauses, the Contractor has the right to suspend works and the process for doing so is explained in this Clause.

Contracts 'with quantities' are priced on the basis of drawings and firm bills of quantities. 'Without quantities' means a contract priced on the basis of drawings and usually another document, such as a specification or work schedules.

The term 'without quantities' refers to a construction contract or tender documents that do not include specific measured quantities of the items of work identified by the drawings and specifications. It can be used on projects where it is not possible to prepare a bill of quantities (BOQ) at the time of tendering.

The employer must provide drawings together with a description of works, and either a specification or work schedules at tender stage. The project is generally not complex enough to require bills of quantities.

The JCT Standard Building Contract is designed for large or complex construction projects where detailed contract provisions are needed. Standard Building Contracts are suitable for projects procured via the traditional or conventional method.

JCT contracts don't specify remedies for common issues. They rely on existing case law precedents to find a resolution. This can be complex and time-consuming, and seriously impact project timelines.

Saves time: by streamlining and simplifying the process. Comprehensive: JCT contracts are thorough documents, covering most potential issues and reducing the risk for the employer should their contractor's quality of work be inadequate or not delivered to the agreed time.
