In-person seminars
CCDC will be hosting a series of in-person seminars to introduce the new documents listed above as well as those released in 2023 and the new CCDC 20 ‘Guide to Construction Contract Administration,’ expected to be published in late 2024.
These seminars, held between April 29 and May 17, will be presented by CCDC authors, providing attendees with direct first-hand knowledge of the documents.

Program
Each seminar will dive into issues like:
- The important concepts in the CCDC 16 changes guide, such as the CCDC philosophy of the change process, key clauses, the pricing of changes, party’s rights, and more.
- The major revisions to CCDC bond forms (CCDC 220, 221, and 222) including the introduction of new terms, modified timelines and processes, standard forms, new provisions addressing time-sensitive issues, and more.
Also on the agenda are presentations on the forthcoming CCDC 20 ‘Guide to Construction Contract Administration’ (to be published late 2024) and the new versions of CCDC 4 ‘Unit Price Contract’, CCDC 18 ‘Civil Works Contract’ and CCDC 2MA ‘Master Agreement Between Owner and Contractor’ that were published in November 2023.
