JCT? Seriously? That's like bringing a water gun to a nuclear war. FIDIC is the only way to go here.

FIDIC all the way! It's like a legal fortress, impenetrable to any unforeseen circumstances. The client better have their seatbelts on for this ride.

I would go with A) FIDIC, as it also allocates risk to the client and is commonly used in construction projects.

NEC could work too, but FIDIC seems like the better fit. The client needs to bear the risk, and FIDIC is designed for that kind of arrangement.

IMechE is not really suitable for this situation, FIDIC is the way to go.
