Review a construction contract against the standard form the parties named
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Mark additions and deletions against the standard form named in the draft, clause by clause, as a comparison table. Do not rewrite the contract.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer reads both the form and the departures. There is no Australian Standards form in this exercise. On a federal commercial-item buy, FAR 52.212-4 is an example of a clause set that covers inspection and acceptance, written changes, and disputes under 41 U.S.C. chapter 71. It is not a construction general-conditions form. Payment-bond and prompt-pay overlays, where they apply, are 40 U.S.C. §§ 3131 and 3133 and 31 U.S.C. § 3903. Formal Opinion 512: check every generated comment that states what a form “usually” says.
