Application
Traditional and Design and Build Construction Contracts.
Examples for drafting in respect of Site Waste Management Plans can be found in the Site Waste Management Plans Regulations 2008 (UK).
The management of waste and construction materials ought to be an ongoing process i.e. not just considered at the beginning of the design phase or at practical completion. See also Mary’s clause [Build Contract Energy Efficiency Clauses] and Estelle’s clause [Net Zero Construction Standards]
Notes for users
Such obligations should be applicable where the design/construction is changed during the life of the build. See Luna’s clause [Green Construction Modifications].
The drafting assumes that Law and Statutory Requirements are suitably defined in the wider construction contract.
