AS 4906:2002 PDF Download

AS 4906:2002 provides a standard set of contract conditions for construction projects that are simple in nature and have a limited monetary value. This standard is not suitable for complex or long-term projects, or projects where a bill of quantities has been prepared. It does not include provisions for separable portions or selected subcontracts.

The purpose of this standard is to provide a framework for construct-only projects that do not require extensive planning or specialized subcontracting. It aims to streamline the contract administration process by establishing standardized conditions that both the principal and the contractor can adhere to. By using this standard, parties involved in minor construction projects can have clear guidelines and expectations in terms of contract administration, payment, variations, and dispute resolution.

It is important to note that this standard should only be applied to projects that meet the defined criteria of being simple and of limited value. For more complex and higher-value projects, other contract conditions and standards should be used to ensure appropriate risk allocation and comprehensive coverage of all project aspects.
