The Minor Works Building Contract is the most widely used of theJCT forms of contact, not only for simple, short contracts ofmoderate price, for which it is intended, but also for much largerprojects for which it is often not suited at all. As a result,contractual difficulties can arise, and despite the form'ssimplicity an understanding of the legal background to the form isessential.
This book explains the practical applications of the form fromthe point of view of the employer, architect and contractor. Itprovides a straightforward explanation of the legal aspects of theform supported by flow charts, tables and sample letters.
The Fourth Edition has been revised to cover the 2005 edition ofthe form, which has given the contract a completely new look. Thebook now covers the new JCT Minor Works Building Contract withcontractor's design (MWD).
