What are JCT Contracts?
JCT Contracts have been the mainstay of the building and construction industry for over 75 years. The leading providers of standard forms of building contracts, JCT Contracts cover the spectrum of construction project contract needs.
The JCT Contracts suite consists of contract families made up of main contracts and sub-contracts, together with other documents that can be used across certain contract families.
RIBA Bookshops sells the full range of JCT Construction Contracts, contract administration forms and guides to the JCT Contracts. For further details visit our JCT Contracts Forms and Guides and our JCT and ACA Contract Administration Forms and Guides sections.
