ADVISORY NOTES

The JBCC believes that it is important to keep building industry participants/ stakeholders fully informed on the development, interpretation and application of its contract documentation. The JBCC Advisory Notes are designed not only to address specific contractual elements in greater detail than is possible to set out in the documents but also to assist users in the execution of their respective roles in terms of the contract. Notwithstanding the care and attention that has been put into the JBCC documents it is accepted that updating and supplementation will be required from time to time. To release an addendum or new edition of a document each time a modification is thought necessary would cause confusion to users and be uneconomic. The use of Advisory Notes to convey better understanding of the problem areas and new thinking is a practical solution to keep interested parties informed and up to date.

Comments and suggestions for future topics are welcomed at ceo@jbcc.co.za

DISCLAIMER: The purpose of this publication is to give advice on the most effective use of the JBCC documents. Advice is given in good faith and JBCC disclaims all liability for any loss, damage or expense that may be incurred through acting on such advice.
