Construction Contracts

Despite the prevalence of standard construction contracts, such as NEC and JCT, construction professionals are increasingly encountering amended or bespoke contracts. Even a change in a single term could mean a significant deviation from a standard construction contract, carrying a serious amount of risk and liability. If not thoroughly vetted, this could result in damaging and costly legal processes or alternative dispute resolution procedures.
