JCT amendments

JCT amendments refer to updates or modifications made to the standard contract conditions provided by the Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT), an organization that creates widely used construction contract templates in the UK. These amendments clarify, improve, or adapt the main contract to better suit current practices, legal requirements, or project-specific needs. Essentially, they ensure the contract remains relevant, clear, and fair for all parties involved — such as owners, contractors, and suppliers — helping to prevent disputes and ensure the project runs smoothly.
