About Construction Contracts and Administration
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
This page sits in the Construction Management and Economics strand of Civil engineering and construction. It follows a contract from tender to closing out the job, with plenty of material on the standard forms used along the way.
- Standard forms: the FIDIC mind map sets out the contract types and their key characteristics, while the Contract Practice JCT OVERVIEW map asks which form of contract fits which procurement route.
- Contract mechanics: one mind map lays out practical completion, collateral warranties, commencement of works, extensions of time, final account and letters of intent.
- Money and risk: look for the maps on interim valuations and payment provisions, and on performance security and bonds.
Where to start
Begin with the mind map on basic contractual mechanisms and procedures applied at various stages of the contract. It gives you the whole timeline in one view. Then open Contract Practice JCT OVERVIEW and the FIDIC map to compare the forms.
Next, move to the topic maps one at a time: interim valuations, performance security, and principles of contract law.
Disputes and problems
The Loss and Expense deck asks what signs suggest a contractor is in financial difficulty, how cashflow might show it, and which clauses in JCT SBC 11 are relevant. The Conflict Avoidance deck covers adjudication, arbitration and the difference between arbitration and litigation. The M006 Conflict Avoidance & Dispute Resolution map covers good management and clear contract documentation as ways to avoid conflict in the first place.
Using maps, cards and quizzes together
- Read a mind map to see how the pieces connect.
- Work through the matching flashcard deck until you can answer without looking.
- Take a quiz such as Exam Practice to see what has not stuck.
- Go back to the map for the weak spots.
Several decks are written as interview and case study questions, and the listed material mentions the APC and ARE, so candidates can practise answering aloud. Teachers can pick a map or deck to set as ready-made class material.
When you are ready, choose one topic from the list and start with a map.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map on basic contractual mechanisms and procedures applied at various stages of the contract. It covers practical completion, collateral warranties, commencement of works, extensions of time, the final account and letters of intent. After that, the JCT overview and FIDIC maps help you compare standard forms.
What do the mind maps on this page cover?
They cover standard forms such as JCT and FIDIC, principles of contract law, interim valuations and payment, performance security and bonds, insurance, extensions of time, letters of intent, site possession meetings and conflict avoidance. There are more than 60 maps, so you can follow one topic at a time.
Are there resources for dispute resolution?
Yes. The Conflict Avoidance flashcards ask what happens if a contract lacks adjudication provisions and how arbitration differs from litigation. The Alternative Dispute Resolution mind map and several M006 Conflict Avoidance & Dispute Resolution maps add further structure, and the Resolution of Construction Disputes deck gives extra practice.
Which exams do these resources suit?
The listed resources mention the ARE and the APC, so they suit professional candidates preparing for those. University students on construction contracts and administration courses can use them too. Interview question decks and case study questions are handy for practising how you explain your reasoning.
Are the resources free, and who made them?
Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
What if the topic I need is missing?
Browse the other decks and maps first, since topics such as retention funds, termination and bonds have their own sets. If you still cannot find what you need, build your own mind map or flashcards from your course notes and keep them with your revision.
