JCT Intermediate Named Sub-Contractor/Employer Agreement 2024 (ICSub/NAM/E)

JCT Intermediate Named Sub-Contractor/Employer Agreement 2024 (ICSub/NAM/E)

• The JCT Intermediate Named Sub-Contractor/Employer Agreement is for use between an employer and a named sub-contractor who will be carrying out the design and construction of works under an Intermediate Named Sub-Contract.
• As the main contractor is not responsible for the design work carried out by the named sub-contractor, the employer should use this agreement as it provides direct undertakings from the named sub-contractor to the employer in relation to the named sub-contractor's design work and the named sub-contract generally.
• It is for use when the main contract is to be the Intermediate Building Contract (IC 2024) or Intermediate Building Contract with contractor’s design (ICD 2024).

Features of projects using the Intermediate Building Contract:

• The employer is responsible for the design, and this is usually supplied to the contractor by the architect or design team working on the employer’s behalf. If the appointed contractor is to be responsible for designing specific parts of the works, then an Intermediate Building Contract with contractor’s design must be used.
• The employer (through its advisers) will also need to provide drawings and bills of quantities, a specification or work schedules to specify the quantity and quality of work at tender stage. When using the Intermediate Building Contract with contractor’s design, the employer must also detail the requirements for the parts of the works that the contractor is responsible for designing.
• Intermediate Building Contracts are normally administered either by the architect, quantity surveyor, or a contract administrator.
• Works can be carried out in sections.
