JCT stands for Joint Contractors Tribunal. This type of contract is often drawn up for specific, one-off building projects and can be purchased directly from JCT.
JCT contracts are designed to clarify all aspects of the project and ensure all parties understand their duties and expectations, giving them peace of mind. The details range from what work will be carried out to what insurance cover needs to be arranged and who is responsible for arranging the insurance.
