The JCT introduced a revised suite of building contracts in September 2011. The changes, and their implications, to the administration of the payment provisions need to be understood by those involved in the administration of contracts. Generally, the new procedure is likely to place an increased burden and risk upon the Architect when administering a contract.

This seminar will look at the key changes within the Standard Building Contract, the Intermediate Building Contract, the Minor Works Contract and the Design & Build Contract. The differences between the 2005 and 2011 contracts are not high in number, but the key difference is significant, i.e. payment.

The seminar is suitable for architects, quantity surveyors, building surveyors and generally anyone involved with the administration of the JCT building contracts.
