Construction contracts are more than just a document - remove contractual clauses at your peril

Your construction contract will map out the pathway to your building project completing on time and within budget and detailing how any losses and risks are handled. 

It is an essential tool in managing and shifting risk during the construction phase and importantly, lays out the rules if a dispute arises. The chances of a dispute are greatly reduced if both parties understand what the parties are agreeing to.

How can you mitigate and manage construction risk?

It is essential that you:

• select the appropriate type of construction contract for your project; and
• analyse and consider the interplay between the ordinary contractual clauses, indemnities, warranties (either statutory or contractual) and representations.
