Beschreibung

Many building contract claims are ill-founded, often because thebasic principles are misunderstood. This highly regarded bookexamines the legal basis of claims for additional payment, and whatcan and cannot be claimed under the main forms of contract. Itincludes chapters dealing with direct loss and expense, liquidateddamages, extension of time, concurrency, acceleration, time atlarge, common law and contractual claims, global claims, heads ofclaim and their substantiation. The new fourth edition has been substantially restructured andupdated. Nearly 100 additional cases have been added as well asfour new contracts: the JCT Construction Management and MajorProject contracts, the JCT Standard Form of Domestic Subcontract,and the Engineering and Construction Contract (the NEC Form). Thebook continues to use the JCT Standard Form (JCT 98) as the basisof the text, with important differences highlighted in the otherforms. Seventeen forms are dealt with and they have all beenupdated since the last edition of this book. This new edition is essential reading for architects, contractadministrators, project managers and quantity surveyors. It willalso be invaluable to contractors, contracts consultants andconstruction lawyers.
