FOREWORD

Contracts that are comprehensive but at the same time easy to understand are important in today's technical and highly competitive building and construction environment. New Zealand's building, construction, engineering, and infrastructure industries rely on the New Zealand standard conditions of contract for building and civil engineering to ensure that their contracts are suited to New Zealand's industrial and legislative scene. The Standard contains essential commercial provisions designed to allocate risk fairly and are aligned with the requirements of the Construction Contracts Act.
