Understanding contractual provisions can be complicated; JCT 2016 was introduced to develop, publish, procure and revise a suite of standard forms of contract and tender documentation for construction. Suite of standard forms means a group of documents necessary to operate a particular method of procurement. JCT 2016 is the current edition of JCT’s standard forms of contract. The JCT ranges in publications from standard contracts, to major construction projects or a Design and Build Contract which is designed for construction projects where the contractor carries out both the design and the construction work.
