CCDC

Canadian Construction Documents Committee (CCDC) develops, produces, and reviews standard construction contracts, forms, and guides.

CCDC documents are developed transparently and collaboratively, using simple language for clarity. This fosters goodwill between parties and reduces legal concerns.

CCDC documents easily integrate with other industry contracts, ensuring they are familiar to all parties involved. This familiarity streamlines the contracting process, promotes collaboration, and allows work to commence faster.

Through a collaborative process, CCDC ensures all perspectives are considered, leading to fair risk allocation among parties. This builds genuine trust and consensus.

CCDC is the sole source for recognized Canadian standard construction documents. These consensus-built, transparent, and standardized contracts provide a strong legal foundation, instilling confidence in all involved parties.

CCDC's industry experts, including representatives from various organizations, contribute to the document creation process, ensuring a comprehensive representation of perspectives from owners, engineering companies, construction associations, architectural institutes, and legal counsel.

The City of Yorkton commonly uses the following 3 CCDC documents:

Stipulated Price Contract the standard agreement between the owner and the main contractor in the construction industry. It sets a fixed price for the entire project upfront. The contract covers administrative details for construction projects, including the consultant's role, procedures for changes, work by other contractors, insurance, project completion requirements, dispute resolution, early owner occupancy, and more.

Under this contract, monthly payments are assumed based on the stipulated price, and it follows relevant provincial payment laws.

Unit Price Contract is a standard prime contract between owner and prime contractor to perform the required work for a pre-determined, fixed amount for each specified unit of work performed. The total price is determined by multiplying the unit price by the actual, measured quantity of work performed for each specified unit.

Contractor’s Qualification Statement is a standardized document that allows contractors to share information about their company, capabilities, skills, and experience. It covers details like company information (legal structure, finances, insurance, etc.), the qualifications and experience of key personnel, and a list of relevant past and ongoing projects.
