New Zealand draft standards

The NZS 3910 provides a standard form of general conditions of contract for incorporation into construction contract documents. It enables Principals, Engineers, and Contractors to quickly establish contractual arrangements that deliver a wide variety of building and civil engineering projects. Contracts based on this Standard will be comprehensive but at the same time easy to understand and will reflect fair risk allocation between the parties. The Standard contains essential commercial provisions aligned with the requirements of the Construction Contracts Act 2002. This revision of NZS 3910 is a full review which focused on feedback from the construction sector.
