If you’re working in the built environment, you already know understanding JCT contracts isn’t optional, it’s essential.
Whether you’re reviewing payment terms, dealing with variations, or navigating extension of time claims, getting your head around JCT can be the difference between leading the project or playing catch-up.
At Metroun, we know this first-hand, because we’re Quantity Surveyors too.
And like most QSs, we were never taught the contract properly. We picked up bits here and there on the job. But when the pressure was on, we often found ourselves second-guessing key clauses.
So, we built something better.
Why JCT Contract Training Matters (More Than You Think)
JCT contracts are still the most commonly used form of building contract in the UK. If you’re working in construction, infrastructure, housing, or fit-out, chances are JCT governs what you can and can’t do.
That means knowing your way around the contract isn’t just helpful. It protects you, your client, and your project.
Here’s what good JCT contract training gives you:
- Confidence to issue notices and instructions correctly
- Clarity on who’s responsible for what (and when)
- The ability to push back when something doesn’t feel right
- A competitive edge, whether you’re applying for jobs or managing teams
