CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS PREPARATION

In the intricate realm of construction, a contract doesn't merely outline duties—it establishes the foundation for the entire project's success. Recognising the pivotal role of this document, at TBES, we ensure that our construction contracts are nothing short of comprehensive, catering to projects of all magnitudes.

​

Here's how we tailor our contract preparations:

​

• Standardised Frameworks: For medium to large-scale projects, we lean on the tried-and-tested frameworks of the AS 4905 and AS 4000 contracts. These standards are the industry benchmarks, ensuring a robust contractual foundation for substantial engagements.

• Special Conditions - Evolution through Experience:  The most distinguishing feature of our contracts is the incorporation of our 'Special Conditions'. These are not just clauses added haphazardly. They're born out of invaluable lessons from past projects—instances where initial contracts hinted at ambiguities or left certain aspects open to interpretation. By rectifying these gaps, our Special Conditions bring clarity and precision to the contract, ensuring all stakeholders have a clear roadmap to follow. Moreover, these conditions have been scrutinised and refined by numerous solicitors over the years. They're continually updated to resonate with the evolving construction landscape, ensuring they remain pertinent and watertight.

• Builder Selection: We maintain close ties with a coterie of trusted builders in Sydney. The tenders are floated to those most suited based on the project's size, intricacies, and unique requirements. Our primary aim? Engage builders known for impeccable workmanship, ensuring they work hand-in-glove with our stipulated specifications. And when clients have builder recommendations? We rigorously vet their backgrounds, ensuring they have a commendable track record in handling analogous projects.

• For Smaller Endeavors: While standardised contracts are excellent for large-scale projects, we understand that smaller projects demand a different approach. In these cases, we turn to the trusted frameworks of the NSW Fair Trading Contracts and HIA Contracts, tailoring them to the unique requirements of each project.

Crafting a contract with TBES means embarking on a project with clarity, confidence, and the assurance that every potential ambiguity has been addressed proactively. We don't just set the terms; we set the stage for project success.​
