JCT Contract Training

DON’T GET LOST IN THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS MAZE

JCT contracts are geared towards helping businesses avoid conflicts and providing them with protection if disputes or issues do arise when they execute a building project. Introduced by the Joint Contracts Tribunal, these documents outline obligations and define who is responsible for specific job roles or tasks. JCT contracts help eliminate potential disagreements and legal disputes between businesses, organisations, sub contractors and construction companies, thereby enabling all the parties involved to do their part with confidence, save time, and minimise loss and expense.

BEB’s JCT Training

Although JCTs are a standard form of contract, they will not protect you as a subcontractor. This is why it is advisable to take a JCT contract training course to increase your knowledge of this crucial aspect of your industry. By developing a thorough understanding of JCT contracts, you will find it easier to build a reliable safeguarding mechanism for your business.

Our online JCT training course highlights the problems you may encounter when subcontracting under the many JCT forms of construction contracts. We cover a range of topics, including the fundamentals of a JCT design and build contract, the cost of getting it wrong and, most importantly, your rights and the measures you can take to prevent potential problems and disagreements with your clients.

As our team are dedicated to ensuring your success, the course will go through every little detail involved in drawing up a JCT contract. Our training videos will discuss:

• How to clarify your liability for liquidated and ascertained damages
• Claiming for downtime and aborted visits
• Time extensions and suspensions of work
• Payment and retention
• The application of defects liability periods
• Standstill maintenance
• Collateral warranties
• How to develop and incorporate your own terms and conditions and contractual documentation
