Designing renewable energy construction contracts to support a sustainable construction market/supply chain and to achieve better mutual project outcomes. 

Central to achieving these objectives is a move away from planning for failure, repeating and recycling the past and a mindset of transferring risks to contractors to embracing a framework of collaboration with a focus on managing risks, dispute avoidance, clear description of the scope of works and contract provisions that are measured, fair and balanced to achieving the key project outcomes for both parties.


The Contracts Terms Recommendation published by BuildUK reinforces this framework of collaboration.
