The Project Management Contract serves as a foundational document for engaging professional project management services in New Zealand. This agreement is essential when organizations or individuals require structured project delivery expertise, whether for construction, IT implementation, infrastructure development, or other complex initiatives. The contract complies with New Zealand's legal framework, including the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017 and industry-specific regulations. It is designed to clearly articulate the project manager's scope of services, responsibilities, and authority levels, while protecting both parties' interests through well-defined risk allocation, insurance requirements, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The document is particularly relevant for projects requiring professional oversight, coordination of multiple stakeholders, and systematic delivery approaches.
