澳门王中王 has now launched a complete digital suite of 2024 editions of the Professional Services Contracts. The outgoing 2020 editions have been updated across the board, reflecting legislative and regulatory changes and the introduction of the UK鈥檚 new building safety regime.
All of the new digital 澳门王中王 contracts are available through , the online platform where you can effectively manage all of your contracts online.
It鈥檚 time to take a look at what鈥檚 available and why the contracts help members across the board.
Are there any brand new 澳门王中王 contracts in this round of updates?
There is only one brand new contract this year, the Building Regulations Principal Designer Professional Services Contract 2024 for the appointment of a Principal Designer under Part 2A of the Building Regulations, the statutory dutyholder role required under the new building regulations regime.
The new contract is suitable for commissions procured through any form of procurement for commercial projects of any value, including design and build pre-novation.
Though written specifically to integrate with the 澳门王中王 suite of Professional Services Contracts, it can be used where building works will be carried out using bespoke or other standard forms of building contract. It is not suitable for domestic projects where work is undertaken for a consumer client.
There is also an amended 澳门王中王 CDM Regulations Principal Designer Professional Services Contract 2020 (2024 Amendment) contract, which has been revised to eliminate any potential confusion over the term 鈥楶rincipal Designer鈥� now that the term can apply to quite separate appointments under CDM Regulations or Building Regulations.
