Nearly two years after the release of NZS 3910:2023, the publication of the NZS 3916:2025 (Design and Construct) standard form construction contract is a welcome and timely development. This is especially so given the lack of certainty there has been in the market following the publication of NZS 3910:2023 as to which form of contract to use when engaging contractors on a design and build basis.
NZS 3916:2025 is generally consistent with the consultation draft published earlier this year and incorporates all relevant changes introduced in NZS 3910:2023. We have previously summarised the Top 10 things you need to know about NZS 3910:2023. Our summary of the key changes specific to NZS 3916:2025 for users is now available for download.
If you would like to learn more about the new standard or are interested in discussing the design and build delivery model, please get in touch with one of our key contacts.
