Management Building Contract (MC)

Appropriate:

  • for large-scale projects requiring an early start on site, where the works are designed by or on behalf of the Employer but where it is not possible to prepare full design information before the works commence and where much of the detail design may be of a sophisticated or innovative nature requiring proprietary systems or components designed by specialists;
  • where the Employer is to provide the Management Contractor with drawings and a specification; and
  • where a Management Contractor is to administer the conditions.

The Management Contractor does not carry out any construction work but manages the Project for a fee. The Management Contractor employs Works Contractors to carry out the construction works.

Can be used:

  • where the works are to be carried out in sections; 
  • by both private and local authority employers.
