The construction program is generally a requirement of the contract but should not form part of the contract documentation. Contract documentation describes the desired project outcome and captures the responsibilities and expected results to be achieved. A program, on the other hand, is a flexible tool, changing to meet challenges and circumstances. It describes the process by which the outcome is to be achieved.
