Construction Management Trade Contract (CM/TC)

This contract is to be entered into between the Employer and the Trade Contractor in conjunction with the Construction Management Appointment (CM/A) and because it is a direct contractual arrangement it is not a sub-contract but more akin to a main contract. The Construction Manager acts as agent for the Employer in issuing instructions, making decisions and preparing certifications. Price is based on either a lump sum or complete remeasurement. Interim payments are either monthly or at pre-determined stages.

Appropriate:

  • where the Employer is to enter into direct separate trade contracts; and
  • where a Construction Manager engaged under the Construction Management Appointment is to administer the conditions on behalf of the Employer.

Can be used:

  • where the works are to be carried out in sections.
