Thanks for your video. Would I be right to say that traditional procurement is best for the refurbishment of a grade 2 listed building? (since it's a government funded project thus theres need to have more accountability for value of money etc) and which form of contract would you assume to be more advisable? Jct? Or nec? I might be wrong but I think nec is used more by government bodies.
It would completely depend on the contractor. Take a look at our procurement routes and see which is best suited. You are correct however, government do seem to prefer NEC contracts.
Metroun Thank you. All your videos have helped! They really have. Any videos showing on site experience such as how tenders work, full processes of erection of a building to finish. More collaborations showing how the construction industry differs in different countries would be great. Also sustainable building alternatives. The style your videos are great and easy to understand.
We're really glad you found our video helpful. We will be producing more JCT videos in the next few weeks. Are you currently working on a JCT contract?
Under JCT SBC AQ (Standard Building Contract with Contractor's Design), the contractor is responsible for ensuring that the materials are delivered to site on time. If the contractor experiences a delay in the delivery of materials, they are required to take reasonable steps to avoid or mitigate any delay. If the delay is caused by a fault of the contractor, they may be liable for any resulting loss or damage.
Is there any clause covering Latent defects in JCT? My same old question of whether contractor is responsible for rectifying Latent Defects after expiry of Defects Liability Period in JCT?
Hello, This post may be able to shed a little light on the relationships in a JCT Contract. corporate.jctltd.co.uk/making-good-with-rectification-periods/
what are global claims and how to identify them in a contract dispute between client and contractor? i have an assignement in which there is a conflict between consultant and contractor because of delays caused by client and also contractor lost machinery and workforce. i need to put a claim demonstrating an entitlement from contractor perspective focusing on concurrency and global claims.
In the context of construction contracts, a global claim refers to a claim for damages that arise from several events or causes, rather than from a single, specific event. Global claims often arise when the contractor suffers delays or disruptions that result from a combination of factors, rather than from a single, identifiable cause. To identify a global claim in a contract dispute between a client and contractor, you will need to review the contract and any relevant project documents to determine the specific events or causes that have led to the delay or disruption in question. You will also need to assess the impact of each event or cause on the contractor's ability to perform its obligations under the contract. In your specific case, where there is a conflict between the consultant and contractor due to delays caused by the client, and the contractor has also lost machinery and workforce, a global claim may be appropriate if the delays and losses were caused by a combination of factors that were beyond the contractor's control. To put forward a claim demonstrating an entitlement from the contractor's perspective, you will need to provide a detailed analysis of the delays and losses suffered by the contractor, including the causes of each delay and loss, and the impact of each on the contractor's performance. You should also explain how the delays and losses were interconnected and how they contributed to the overall disruption of the project. In particular, you should focus on demonstrating how the delays and losses resulted in concurrency, or the overlapping of activities that would otherwise have been performed sequentially. This can have a compounding effect on the delays and losses suffered by the contractor, and can be a key factor in establishing a global claim. Overall, to succeed with a global claim, you will need to present a clear and compelling argument that the delays and losses suffered by the contractor were not the result of its own actions, but rather were caused by a combination of factors that were beyond its control.
Hey Uzair, Thank you for your comment. As you can see with our latest video, the background music has been turned down. So much in fact that you can't actually hear it. (Hint ...we removed it completely) We hope to see you in the comments in the future ☺️
Hi Jonathan, We're very happy you found the video useful. We're sorry about the hand. Some people feel it adds to the video and some people feel it makes it worse. We're sorry you found it annoying and hope it doesn't stop you from watching our future videos!

Thank you for uploading these videos. Very concise and helpful!
We're very happy this has helped you!
Do you have any topics you'd like us to cover in a future video?
Metroun Thank you. All your videos have helped! They really have. Any videos showing on site experience such as how tenders work, full processes of erection of a building to finish.

Thank you for your input.
You will definitely see some videos covering the subjects you suggested!
Do you provide a course on contracts?
@@chrislyford1620 we are working on a complete NEC course followed by a complete JCT course. The first will be released very soon!
Thank you.
And thank you for watching!
Thanks for great presentation
It's our pleasure Jade! Are you currently using JCT contracts?
@@Metroun Thanks for your feedback. I use Fidic for D&B contract. Some legal analysis mention about JCT so I read for ref.
thanks good video with great presentation

Which JCT contract is typically used for new build homes procured via the traditional method?
The JCT Standard Building Contract (SBC) is usually used for new builds via a traditional method.
Thanks for the video but please reduce the volume of the BG music!

The music is extremely detracting
Hi Olusola,
Yes we agree. And this is why we've removed from future videos. We do apologise
