Generally, anyone wanting to use these Conditions of Contract is advised to buy one copy (the cost of which you can build into your price) and refer to it in the agreement you sign with your client.
The Client and Consultant will both also need copies - but they will generally have them long before the Contract is even put out to tender, and again they only ever need one copy.

Quote:quote:Surely for each contract (job) you should buy 2 (if not 3) copies: one each for the Employer and the Contractor to sign, and possibly one for you as Consultant.No - the documents are just books; you need to know their content and refer to them, but you can apply the Conditions of Contract just by referring to them in a letter or by signing the Form of Agreement, for which a template is provided; you don't need to actually sign a copy of the book itself.
