Construction Contract Guidance

The routes to successfully procuring a contractor or other service provider for the carrying out of work are many and varied. Traditional pathways rely on established forms of contract published by various governing bodies such as the Joint Contracts Tribunal or the Construction Clients Board. More innovative approaches include Service Level Agreements and the development of Partnerships.

Michael Dyson Associates Ltd has extensive experience and excellent knowledge of the main forms of construction contract within the JCT and NEC suites, the APA Partnering Contract and bespoke forms developed for individual clients.

We understand the need to manage risk through proper apportionment and, where appropriate, sharing within recognised frameworks whether in relation to design, cost or delivery. Our choice of construction contract is always driven by the needs and aspirations of our clients and our contract management philosophy is very much centred on prior acknowledgement of roles and responsibilities with robust reward and sanction mechanisms to keep the construction team engaged and on track.

We can ensure your scheme will be managed properly under the auspices of the correct contractual arrangement with less risk of dispute or failure and greater certainty of cost and quality.
