WHY THIS CONFERENCE
Construction is crossing borders. Contract administration must keep pace.
A practical conversation about international relevance, local adaptability and project delivery.
JBCC has evolved from a trusted Southern African contract suite into a framework capable of supporting diverse project and jurisdictional environments. This conference examines how the Principal Building Agreement and associated documents can remain internationally relevant and commercially balanced while strengthening contract administration, risk allocation and dispute avoidance.
