What Everap flags in a JCT contract

JCT contracts are the most widely used building contracts in the UK, but the standard forms still leave room for one-sided amendments. Our snapshot focuses on the clauses that cause the most disputes in practice:

  • Payment terms — interim valuations, pay-less notices, retention.
  • Scope & design responsibility — especially in Design & Build variants.
  • Variations & change control — how instructions are valued and notified.
  • Liability caps and insurance — Option A / B / C cover and amendments.
  • Termination — grounds, notice periods and consequences.
  • Liquidated damages and extensions of time — common amendment red flags.
