NZS3910 Contract Update (hybrid)

NZS 3910:2013 Conditions of contract for building and civil engineering construction (NZS 3910) is used as the foundation for the majority of New Zealand contracts in the building, engineering, construction and infrastructure industry sectors (the construction sector).

NZS 3910 has not been updated since 2013. This means it has not kept pace with legislative and other changes in the construction sector, resulting in a proliferation of special conditions to the standard form for individual projects.

The revision of NZS 3910 follows the scoping review that was commissioned by the New Zealand Construction Industry Council and led by Standards New Zealand in early 2021 that determined an overwhelming consensus from the construction sector that NZS 3910 required a comprehensive review.

The draft NZ 3910 will go out for public consultation in the second week of May 2023. There will be a public consultation period ending on Friday 30 June 2023.

Please join us as we review the update with a view to respond to the committee as the CIOB.

More information to be released.
