JBCC documents are compiled in the interests of standardisation and portray the consensus view of the Joint Building Contracts Committee of good practice and an equitable distribution of contractual risk in the building industry. The suite is approved by the CIDB and has been selected for use by most of the State sectors. The primary documentation is supported by a set of standard forms that should significantly simplify the administration of the contract. JBCC documents are updated as and when necessary. Consequently users are advised to make use of the latest editions available.

Note: Only the Principal Building Agreement, Nominated/Selected Subcontract Agreement and Minor Works Agreement carry edition numbers. All other documents are dated only as they are designed to be compatible across the editions of the primary documents
