This book is quite simply about contract administration using the JCT
contracts. The key features of the new and updated edition continue to
be its brevity, readability and relevance 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 form
of contract with bills of quantities SBC/Q2016, the design and build
form DB2016 and the minor works form MWD2016. The book broadly follows
the sequence of producing a building from the initial decision to build
through to completion. Chapters cover:
- Procurement and tendering
- Payments, scheduling, progress and claims
- Contract termination and insolvency
- Indemnity and insurance
- Supply chain problems, defects and subcontracting issues
- Quality, dealing with disputes and adjudication
- How to administer contracts for BIM-compliant projects
JCT 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 practitioner or student, who will benefit most from this
clear, concise and highly relevant book.
