How to write and review construction contracts.
A construction contract should turn the agreed commercial position into clear obligations that align with the scope, programme, price, design responsibility and project controls.
1. Confirm the parties, scope and contract documents
Check the legal entities, project description, drawings, specifications, schedules, proposals and order of precedence. Identify inconsistencies before the construction contract is signed.
2. Review price, payment and change
Confirm the pricing basis, payment cycle, notices, retention, tax treatment, valuation rules and change procedure. The mechanisms must match the intended procurement and administration.
3. Review time, completion and delay
Align the possession date, completion requirements, programme duties, extensions of time, loss and expense, damages and sectional completion with the project programme.
4. Review risk, liability and dispute terms
Check design responsibility, insurance, indemnities, liability limits, intellectual property, termination, governing law and dispute resolution with authorised commercial and legal reviewers.
Construction contract review is project-specific
Standard forms and templates still require complete particulars, schedules and properly reviewed amendments. Adelphos can prepare the drafting or review record, but it does not provide legal advice or approve the contract.
Frequently asked questions.
What is a construction contract?
A construction contract records the parties, scope, price basis, programme, payment mechanism, design responsibility, change process, risk allocation, insurance, completion and dispute provisions for a project.
Can Adelphos write or review construction contracts?
Yes. Adelphos can structure a construction contract draft or clause-by-clause review from the authorised project documents and commercial instructions, ready for responsible commercial and legal review.
What should a construction contract review cover?
Review the contract particulars, scope alignment, design obligations, payment terms, programme duties, extensions of time, changes, liability, insurance, termination, dispute provisions and every schedule or amendment.
Does contract review replace a construction solicitor?
No. Adelphos provides drafting and review support, not legal advice. A qualified construction solicitor should review the contract where the risk, value, jurisdiction or organisation's controls require it.
Which construction contract type should I use?
The appropriate form depends on procurement, design responsibility, pricing, programme, risk allocation and jurisdiction. Compare the contract types, then obtain project-specific commercial and legal advice.
