Contract definitions
Contract definitions
Includes the government entity, contractor, engineer, contract period and contract value; these definitions govern interpretation of the contract.
Plain explanation
Every defined term has a precise meaning. Read this first, it sets who is responsible for what and how key terms are used.
What this means for you
Confirm the entity name, contractor name, engineer's authority, start date and contract value match across every document.
Common pitfalls
Mismatched entity name between conditions booklet and signed contract; vague engineer authority.
FIDIC comparison
Conceptually similar to FIDIC, but the Government Entity replaces 'Employer' and the Engineer lacks the same independent role.
