Description :

An overview of the revised CCCS agreement, which regulates the relationship between the consultant engineer and their client. If you, or your firm are being appointed as a consultant, it is important that you understand the terms of your appointment.

The CCCS is an agreement that regulates the relationship between the client, and the consultant engineer. At the end of 2017, a revised, 4th edition of this contract was published. This webinar gives an overview of the contract, the new provisions and some key clauses that regulate liability.

Learning outcomes:

Delegates who attend this webinar will gain an understanding of:

  • how the 4th edition CCCS differs from earlier editions.
  • how the Construction Contracts Act impacts on the relationship between client and consultant.
  • the key obligations of the client and of the consultant.
  • how liability can be limited under the contract.
  • the payment provisions under the contract, and how the Construction Contracts Act impacts on these.
  • how disputes between client and consultant are resolved.

Intended audience:

This course will be of interest to all engineers, and in particular anyone who acts as a consultant engineer or whose firm assumes that role.
