This fully revised and updated edition of Construction Contracts:
Questions and Answers includes 300 questions and incorporates 42 new
judicial decisions, the JCT 2016 updates and the RIBA Building Contracts
and Professional Services Contracts 2018 updates.
Construction professionals of all kinds frequently need legal advice
that is straightforward as well as authoritative and legally rigorous.
Building on the success of previous editions, David Chappell continues
to provide answers to real-world FAQs from his experience as consultant
and Specialist Advisor to the RIBA. Questions range in content from
extensions of time, liquidated damages and loss and/or expense to issues
of practical completion, defects, valuation, certificates and payment,
architects' instructions, adjudication and fees.
Every question included has been asked of David Chappell during his
career and his answers are authoritative but written as briefly and
simply as possible. Legal language is avoided but legal cases are given
to enable anyone interested to read more deeply into the reasoning
behind the answers. This is not only a useful reference for architects,
project managers, quantity surveyors and lawyers, but also a useful
student resource to stimulate interesting discussions about real-world
construction contract issues.
