WA Chapter Event: AS2124 and NCW4, Exploring the Practical Implications of Each
17 June @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm AWST
$48.00 - $60.00
For many years, WA State Government projects have predominantly utilised AS2124 as the standard form construct-only contract. As a result, AS2124 has also become widely recognised and commonly adopted in the private sector.
Over time, however, AS2124 has increasingly been accompanied by extensive special conditions and amendments. These amendments can significantly alter the risk allocation, leading to industry criticism that AS2124 is becoming outdated in current project delivery models.
The WA State Government is now considering other contracting options, including the NCW4 for some of its building projects.
Join Isla McRobbie, Partner at Jackson McDonald, as she explores the key differences between the widely recognised AS2124 and the NCW4 framework, including the practical implications, shifting risk allocation principles, and the critical issues contractors, consultants and principals should be aware of as the industry moves toward a new procurement landscape.
There will be time for Q&A at the end of the presentation, and this will be followed by networking and light refreshments.
Limited tickets are available so register now to secure your spot!
NOTE: Registration for this event opens at 5:00pm, with the presentation scheduled to begin at 5:30pm.
CPD: 1.5 points
