The Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT) was established by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 1931 when the first standard form of YCW construction contract was issued (although the forms were not called « YCW » until 1977). YCW was converted into a limited liability company in 1998. He now creates a set of standard contract forms for building construction, accompanied by guides and other standard documents. The standard YCW construction contract has been drafted and is intended for projects that are purchased through traditional procurement. It is best suited for large-scale or complex construction projects requiring detailed contractual terms. Once the contractor is under contract, the employer`s involvement in the design decreases sharply and in fact, any design detailed in the requirements must be created by the contractor according to his suggestions. For this reason, the Design and Construction element of the major works contract allows both parties to guarantee the costs, because the contractor can build the most economical solution. The simple reality is that the interim contract is actually an abridged version of the standard JCT construction contract, which is typically used for the delivery of contracts worth around £1 million. I believe that the update of the JCT ICD in 2016 also modifies the design bidding and approval process to comply with the JCT D&B contract.

Intermediate construction contract with contractor design (CIM) The intermediate construction contract is not suitable for projects where the contractor must install individual parts of the work. The JCT intermediate construction contract has been designed for projects involving all construction trades where relatively detailed contractual provisions are required, but with the exception of developments of great complexity, e.B. in building technology. Intermediate construction contracts follow the same supply path as the standard construction contract, as they are suitable for supplying customers according to the traditional method. The YCW intermediate construction contract is designed for construction projects involving all recognized trades and skills in the industry, where fairly detailed contractual terms are required, but without complex construction service systems or other specialized work. Intermediate construction contracts are suitable for projects that are awarded using traditional or conventional methods. The 2016 interim construction contract was published on December 7, 2016. Reference corporate.jctltd.co.uk/jct-releases-intermediate-building-contract-2016/ As with standard and intermediate JCT contracts, the minor works contract is used when the traditional award method is chosen. It therefore has the same characteristics as these two forms of contract, but in a simpler and less administrative format.

Both reports focused on inefficiencies in construction and tried to find new progressive and lighter ways of working: one of them is how different stakeholders interact and on what basis. This document provides quick links to searchable PDF copies of the 2016 YCW Model Contracts. For our full selection of documents on YCW 2016 contracts, see sub-topic: YCW Contracts 2016. The standard YCW construction contract and traditional sourcing have been around for 150 years and have been part of the construction industry for some time. In contemporary construction, it has been criticized for its lack of flexibility; The use of construction consultants and the resulting fragmentation of project teams, which can often lead to delays and disputes. In recent years, there has been a movement towards other contractual methods such as design and construction, which we will explore below. This is a complex document that is usually only used on complex contracts over £1 million. The YCW first issued a standard construction contract in 1931 and the latest edition is the 2016 version. The contract is used for general procurement, and its provisions are similar to the YCW intermediate contract, which is used for less complex developments, but also includes the following: JCT Intermediate Building Contract Guide (IC/G) 2016 The YCW consists of seven industry associations representing different contractors and has set the standard for construction contracts since 1931.
