The Short Form of Agreement has been developed by Consulting Engineers South Africa (CESA) in response to the needs of consulting engineers and their clients. The Short Form of Agreement is intended for use on routine, smaller projects of a relatively low value and short duration and where only a single consulting engineer is appointed. It is also ideally suited to specialist engineering appointments such as investigations, reports, and similar studies.

The Short Form of Agreement is not suitable for use on multi-discliplinary projects, nor for large, complex construction projects of any type. It is also not suitable for professional appointments involving joint ventures or subconsulting arrangements. Generally, use of the Short Form of Agreement should be limited to projects of a relatively short duration (less than, say, twelve months) and value (less than, say, R5 million).

All changes or amendments to the standard conditions of this document required for a project should be dealt with in the Specific Data and not by altering the standard wording.
