Synopsis

This book is written as a helpful general guide to three popular forms of contract in the JCT series, namely: The Standard Form of Building Contract with Quantities 1980 (JCT 80), The Intermediate Form of Building Contract, 1984 (IFC84) and the Agreement for Minor Building Works 1980 (MW 80). It has been thought sensible to arrange the guide under a series of topics rather than undertake a clause-by-clause interpretation because there are dangers in looking at the clauses in isolation and taking too literal an approach. References to case law have been inserted for the benefit of those who wish to read further and to show the way in which contract provisions have been interpreted by the courts. This book should be of interest to building contractors, and subcontractors, architects and surveyors, students of building.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This eigth edition of David Chappell’s bestselling guide to the most popular form of construction contracts has been completely revised to take into account the new contracts which have been introduced since May 2005. These include: JCT Standard Building Contract (SBC), JCT Intermediate Building Contract (IC) and ‘with contractor’s design’ (ICD), JCT Minor Works Building Contract (MW) and ‘with contractor’s design’ (MWD), and JCT Design and Build Contract (DB) which have replaced the old JCT 98, IFC 98, MW 98, and WCD 98 contracts.

Each contract has been restructured and all the clause numbers have changed together with some terminology. Virtually all the clauses have been reworded and updated in line with recent case law.

Chappell avoids legal jargon but writes with authority and precision. Architects, quantity surveyors, contractors and students of these professions will find this a straightforward and practical reference tool arranged by topic.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This latest edition of David Chappell's bestselling guide provides an expanded presentation of the Joint Contract Tribunal (JCT) standard contracts, the most common forms of building contract. The JCT Contract With Contractor's Design (WCD 98), also known as 'the design and build form', is now covered alongside the other three major forms of contract in the JCT series: JCT 98, IFC 98 and MW 98. David Chappell has updated the book in line with amendments to the contracts and recent case law. He avoids legal jargon but writes with authority and precision, in a style which won, for the fifth edition of the book, the first prize in the Best Textbook category of the 1999 Chartered Institute of Building Literary Awards. Architects, quantity surveyors and contractors, and students of those professions, should find this a straightforward and practical reference tool arranged by topic.
