CCA handbook
Making the Construction Contracts Act work
ISBN
Description
The Construction Contracts Act assures cash flow in the construction industry, and affects all owners (residential and commercial), developers, builders, sub-contractors, and consultants.
Although the Act has been in force for almost 13 years, it is not widely understood or effectively used, as illustrated by the recent collapse of a company reportedly owing sub-contractors and suppliers around $15 million.
The CCA Handbook aims to address that. It explains in plain English how the Act’s provisions achieve cash flow and resolve disputes; it details the impact of the Amendment Act 2015 and includes a copy of the legislation. If you’re in construction, the CCA Handbook should be in your business toolkit.
