PMI Sponsored Meetup : Navigating GC21 Cooperative based Contracting: Standard form terms

Navigating GC21 Cooperative based Contracting: Standard form terms
November 26 2020

Engineering & Construction Management meet-up

Construction meetup 6 4

About the Topic:  

The Cooperative Contracting model commenced in NSW Government close to 25 years ago, emerging from Partnering, adapting into C21 and progressing into GC21. The contract continues to develop while attracting broader Government interest for the delivery of diverse Construction projects valued between $1m and $1B.

Sol Voron explores the contracts unique beginnings to uncover what has become perhaps the current most widely used scalable, adaptable, Government standard form contract adopted across multiple jurisdictions across Australia.

GC21 encapsulates unique relationship development features which has set the tone for practices which have now become relatively standard in many parts of the Construction sector. So what has made GC21 so popular and what may be the opportunities for improvement? Some of the answers relate to unique GC21 terms and processes involving:

• Variations
• Delay costs
• Site Conditions
• Extensions of Time
• Design responsibilities
• Dispute Resolution processes
• Stakeholder Relationship development

In this presentation, we journey from contact beginnings across diverse stakeholder groups and delve into the emerging future opportunities in what may have been the largest and longest Cooperative based contracting experience and or experiment in Australia, in recent times
