This book is quite simply about contract administration using the JCT contracts. The key feature of the third updated edition is the inclusion of a new chapter covering social responsibility and the JCT contracts, related to the impact of the Building Safety Act, CDM sustainability and value management initiatives.
The book continues to be brief, readable and relevant to everyday practice. It provides a succinct guide written from the point of view of a construction practitioner, rather than a lawyer, to the traditional standard building contract with quantities SBC/Q2024, the design and build contract DB2024 and the minor works building contract with contractor’s design MWD2024.
The book broadly follows the sequence of producing a building from the initial decision to build through to completion. Chapters cover:Procurement and tenderingPayments, scheduling, progress and claimsContract termination and insolvencyIndemnity and insuranceSupply chain problems, defects and subcontracting issuesQuality, dealing with disputes and adjudicationHow to administer contracts for BIM-compliant projectsSocial responsibility including the Building Safety Act and CDM2015JCT contracts are administered by a variety of professionals including project managers, architects, engineers, quantity surveyors and construction managers.
It is individuals in these groups, whether experienced practitioners or students, who will benefit most from this clear, concise and highly relevant book.
