iChemE Construction & Civil Engineering Contracts

IChemE’s Forms of Contract are an internationally acclaimed series of model forms of agreement, developed to reflect best practice for project delivery in the process industries.

Drafted by a team of legal and industry professionals, the contracts address the complex way in which the purchaser, contractor and subcontractor divide responsibility for creating new process plants and working on existing structures.

As the contract framework is fair and balanced, each party can easily recognise its responsibilities and achieve its objectives without confrontation, which provides a time and cost effective solution for all parties involved.

Process plants are judged by their performance in operation, therefore the process industry contracts are performance based. This philosophy ensures the contracts stand apart from the many others used in the wider construction industry.
