NZ3910 Contract Essentials & Dispute Procedures Masterclass

Join members of MinterEllisonRuddWatts’ Construction and Infrastructure Division for a masterclass on the latest edition of New Zealand’s most commonly used form of construction contract, the NZS 3910:2023 conditions of contract for building and civil engineering construction.

Our team has a wealth of experience advising principals, contractors and consultants on NZS 3910 through all stages of the project lifecycle, and we look forward to sharing these insights with you.

During this class we will explore the key elements of NZS 3910:2023 including contract structure, pricing models, principal and contractor obligations, contract administration, security arrangements, variations, extensions of time, liability arrangements and dispute resolution. We will also identify the main changes from the 2013 edition and the practical implications of these.

Attendees will come away with a greater understanding of how NZS 3910 works in practice, the contract’s essential elements and key matters to be aware of when entering into, administrating and delivering this form of construction contract. We will also touch on the key changes in the new versions of NZS 3916 (Design and Construction) and NZS 3917 (Fixed term) which are due to be published in 2025.
