More and more construction contracts are carried out as design and build contracts, sometimes in collaboration or partnering. A design and build contract means that the contractor is responsible for both design and execution, and therefore fundamentally has a functional responsibility and responsibility for the works functioning. This course gives you knowledge of the obligations and rights that client and contractor have under a design and build contract.
A design and build contract involves greater risks for the contractor than a construct-only contract and therefore usually a higher cost for the client. At the same time, procuring a design and build contract can give the client a false sense of security, believing that the contractor has a more far-reaching responsibility than ABT 06 states. During this course we go through the rules in ABT 06 that are specific to design and build contracts. The main focus is on the parties' responsibilities at the tender stage. COURSE OBJECTIVES: After the course you should be able to understand what a design and build contract means and when a design and build contract is or is not appropriate. You should understand the system and purpose of the rules on the parties' responsibilities in the design and build contract, how they differ between the tender stage and the contract period, and be able to apply them in situations that arise in your work.
- The design and build contract compared with the construct-only contract - Contractual requirements: what the contractor must fulfil - Different types of design and build contracts, for example design and build contracts procured in collaboration, design and build contracts procured on system documents and managed design and build contracts.
- Review of the standard agreement ABK 09 and the liability of technical consultants, both when procured by the client and by the contractor - The interaction between the design and build contract and the consultancy agreement
- How responsibility for design and for technical solutions is divided between the client and the contractor - Responsibility for the client's and the contractor's technical solutions - Responsibility at the tender stage and in the design and execution phase - The parties' review and inspection obligations
- What the rules for design look like in ABT 06 and what they mean
- What the responsibility looks like for the existing conditions at the site, and what responsibility the client and the contractor each have - Responsibility for information provided (what the responsibility looks like for the information each party provides) - The contractor's extended duty to investigate - The scope of the contract works - ÄTA work (changes, additions and omissions), changes compared with the original scope
In this session we go through the contractor's liability for defects: - The different grounds for defects - Liability issues and how extensive the contractor's liability for defects and damage is - The preclusive effect of inspections in design and build contracts - Warranty and liability period
