Construction Contract Administration

JS Surveying and Design Ltd can prepare and administer the majority of the usual forms of construction contracts in use today. These are taken from the Standard JCT suite of contracts, namely The Minor Works Building Contract, The Intermediate Form of Building Contract and The Standard Form of Building Contract.

These standard construction contracts, can only be used if there is professional person appointed to administer the contract, such as a building surveyor. These have recently been overhauled, (2009) allowing for elements of the building process to be designed by the appointed contractor. If a Main Contractor is appointed to the design the complete project then a Design and Build Contract should be used.
