It is crucial these sections are completed in full and accurately, to prevent uncertainty and disagreements over the scope. This Checklist offers practical steps for filling in those particulars, with links to pertinent Practice Notes that explain each area in depth. It is intended for users who are relatively new to JCT contracting. Commonly, an employer asks the architect/contract administrator or another consultant to draft the particulars at the outset, then has its lawyer review the contract prior to execution.

Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues.
