Construction & Engineering News
More newsAdvance payment guarantees in construction contracts
Parties to a construction contract usually agree to the inclusion of separate financial arrangements with third parties for the purposes of ensuring financial security and project success.
Back to the future: Harnessing Building Information Modeling for Greening Retrofit Projects
Amid the international push towards sustainability and energy efficiency, retrofitting existing buildings into greener models is a crucial strategy for reducing the consumptive effect that the built environment has on its surroundings. Buildings typically account for 40% of a city’s total energy usage, with electricity in the built environment accounting for nearly a quarter of South Africa’s carbon emissions. Retrofitting existing structures can thus play a significant role in infusing the built industry with environmentally-sustainablesolutions.
Termination for convenience: Traversing the termination tightrope in NEC 3 contracts
Enforcing the contractual right to terminate a construction contract is a serious choice and must always be approached with caution. This is especially so in the case of the widely used suite of NEC 3 construction contracts, where the parties are afforded various possible contractual grounds for termination in the “ Reasons for termination ” provisions.
