Comprehensive reference on all major and commonly used building contracts with a step-by-step approach to producing claims
Covering all the major and commonly used building contracts, Building Contract Claims considers the legal basis of building contract claims and shows what can and cannot be claimed, providing the contractor, employers and their advisors with a simple, concise, and effective source of information for use when preparing, submitting, or dealing with a claim.
This highly regarded book examines the legal basis of claims for extensions of time and additional payment under the main forms of construction contract. It includes chapters dealing with the principles for extensions of time, financial claims (including for variations or compensation events), common law and global claims, employer claims, duties of the employer's representative, substantiating claims, claims for time and money under the JCT 2016 and NEC4 contracts and sub-contracts, and claims for professional fees.
With the publication of the sixth edition, Building Contract Claims has been reordered to provide a step-by-step approach to producing claims and thoroughly revised to ensure it is fully up to date with the latest contracts, court judgments, and building practice. Updates include: - Revision of chapters covering extensions of time in line with the second edition of the Society of Construction Law's Delay and Disruption Protocol
- New material to reflect the JCT 2016 contracts and the NEC4 contracts
- Expanded coverage of employer claims
- Updated sections for JCT 2016 and NEC4 sub-contracts
- Claims for professional fees (for design consultants, contract administrators, quantity surveyors or project managers) under the commonly used conditions of engagement
The new edition of Building Contract Claims is an essential reference for contractors, contract administrators, project managers, and quantity surveyors, as well as architects, contracts consultants, and construction lawyers.
