Abstract
This paper presents the results of a detailed study of projects using the JCT With Contractor's Design (WCD) form of contract. Initially 49 projects were investigated to discover how the WCD contract is being used: for what kind of projects, by whom, in what circumstances, and what management approaches are being used. Fourteen projects were then selected to be investigated in more detail on their performance in terms of time, cost, quality and management. The variables were assessed in absolute terms and were then compared to what might have been expected if the contract had been managed in the conventional manner, i.e. using the JCT 80 Standard form of building contract. The conclusion of the study was that out of all the WCD projects investigated none had experienced serious problems and only a small proportion had encountered any difficulties at all in using the WCD approach.
