Managing risk and cost overruns with CCDC documents

Risk has always been a hot topic in construction. Understanding and managing risks at all stages of a construction project is key to protecting your organization and maximizing profits. Enter the Canadian Construction Documents Committee (CCDC).

CCDC was established in 1974 by the Canadian Construction Association (CCA) , the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies – Canada (ACEC), Construction Specifications Canada (CSC) and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) and began producing construction contract and guide documents that are consensus-based and represent all stakeholders on a project.

Risk can fluctuate in every construction project, but contractors are especially vulnerable in today’s market of escalating prices, supply chain disruptions, rising interest rates on loans, and challenges securing workers.

CCDC documents can help by providing you with guidance on how to mitigate risk at all stages of the process – from bidding through to the last change order.

They work easily with other industry contracts with the goal of a smoother and more collaborative process so you can focus on getting the job done.

As the only source for nationally recognized Canadian standard construction documents, you can also trust that the documents are transparent, balanced, and standardized.
