For the first time since 2010, the Canadian Construction
Documents Committee (CCDC) updated its construction management
contracts: CCDC 5A – Construction Management Contract –
For Services, CCDC 5B – Construction Management Contract for
Services and Construction, and CCDC 17 – Stipulated Price
Contract Between Owner and Trade Contractor for Construction
Management Projects. These updates incorporate many modern
construction industry practices, legislative changes surrounding
prompt payment legislation in other Canadian provinces, evolving
project management expectations, and provide greater clarity for
owners, construction managers, and trade contractors on project
milestones, pre-construction services, fee structures, payment
requirements, risk allocation, and overall contract
administration.
