Author Description

There is a proliferation of forms of building contract, and it is essential that the correct form is used for a particular project. Indeed, it is arguable that a professional who advises a client to use the wrong form of contract is guilty of professional negligence. Which Form of Building Contract? contains authoritative advice on choosing the correct procurement route and the appropriate contract to put the procurement route in operation. It operates on two levels: providing a quick method of choice through diagrams and tables, and a fuller guide to the essential differences between contracts and what they mean. Anyone who ever needs to decide on procurement or contracts should find this useful, whether an architect, a project manager, a quantity surveyor, a engineer, or a sophisticated client. Students taking professional practice examinations should find it helpful too.
