CCDC Contract Risk & Commercial Terms Checklist

Essential risk checks for CCDC 2, CCDC 5B, and CCDC 14 contracts in Canadian commercial construction.

Standard CCDC contracts often include supplementary conditions that alter risk allocation between owners and general contractors.

Crucial CCDC Supplementary Clauses 1. **WorkSafeBC / Workers' Comp Clearance**: Verifying active standing and clearance certificates prior to contract award. 2. **Insurance Thresholds**: $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 Commercial General Liability (CGL) requirements with named insureds. 3. **Cash Allowances & Contingencies**: Identifying specific trade allowances that require owner approval.

By scanning supplementary conditions during initial review, estimating teams ensure all commercial insurance and bonding costs are correctly carried.
