The Green Book

History and Evolution

The Green Book provides a simple, flexible, and easy-to-use contract for projects of smaller capital value or short duration. It strips away much of the complex administrative machinery of the larger books.

Key Features

• Simplicity: Greatly reduced complexity in contract administration and procedures.
• Flexibility: Can be used for design-build, employer-design, or even cost-reimbursable payment models.
• Ease of Use: Intended to be used without the need for extensive legal or engineering support for administration.

When to Use It

Recommended for straightforward or repetitive work, such as building maintenance, minor construction projects, or simple installation works, where the perceived risks are low.
