|
| x The Joint Contracts Tribunal's Standard Form of Building Contract is the most common contract used in the UK to procure building work. Understanding it is a core part of any student's degree and a vital part of the working life of professionals in the construction industry. JCT98 Contracts works through the contract systematically explaining it in easy-to-follow language, covering all contract issues thoroughly and illustrating with case law examples the current situation and latest amendments. As such, it is ideal reading for both the student of construction and the professional seeking to update their knowledge. |
| | Review of this title : | The joint authors' academic and professional expertise combine to produce an informative explanation of a subject that many construction professionals and students would otherwise find difficult to comprehend. The authors' systematic approach provides an in-depth analysis in easy-to-follow language that will be welcome by the non-legal fraternity.
The contents are derived from the Joint Contracts Tribunal's Standard Form of Building Contract, concentrating mainly on the Private Edition with Quantities, primarily because this form is in common use. Variations, i.e. the Local Authorities, the Without Quantities and the With Approximate Quantities editions are included for comparisons where appropriate.
Contract contents, conditions, supplements, amendments, clauses, appendices and other parts of the JCT Contract Form are thoroughly described and developed with reference to complementary documents such as the Bill of Quantities, Drawings and the Standard Method of Measurement. The significance of dispute resolution and the application of litigation, arbitration and adjudication feature prominently. Provision for negotiated and agreed resolution are also well defined with procedures for appeals. Consideration is also given to the roles and responsibilities of project personnel in the administration of the JCT Contract, with reference to all contributors from materials suppliers to architect and planning supervisor. Throughout, relevant statutes, statutory instruments and codes, provide for supplementary reading, along with numerous case references.
This is an extensive text, written with regard for professionals and non-professionals alike. It is ideal for those in construction management in need of an update but with little time to interpret the legalities of formal documents. The methodical interpretation with its illustrative case studies provides a detailed reference source to satisfy wide ranging needs.
It is an excellent information resource for students of building law and for those reading law as a component of a construction management degree or professional qualification.
