(The Agreement for Minor Building Works (MW 80) is the mos...)
The Agreement for Minor Building Works (MW 80) is the most widely used of the JCT forms of contract, not only for the simple, short contracts of moderate price for which it is intended, but also for much larger projects for which it is often unsuitable. As a result, contractual difficulties can arise, and despite the form's simplicity an understanding of the legal background to the form is essential. This book explains the practical applications of the form from the point of view of employer, architect and contractor. It provides a straightforward explanation of the legal aspects of the form supported by many flow charts, tables and sample letters. The second edition has been substantially revised to include all JCT Amendments up to Amendment No. MW 11, the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, the Arbitration Act 1996, the CDM Regulations and a substantial number of new cases.

(Claims can be an emotional subject, and the contractual p...)
Claims can be an emotional subject, and the contractual provisions enabling a contractor to claim reimbursement for the cost of disruption or prolongation are often misunderstood. What's more, those responsible for administering the contract, as well as contractors and sub-contractors, frequently fail to grasp the principles involved. This book looks at some of the problems that arise in the making and settling of prolongation and disruption claims. It also deals with the related problems of extensions of time and liquidated and ascertained damages. It covers most of the standard building and civil engineering contracts.

(The JCT standard forms of building contract require a tho...)
The JCT standard forms of building contract require a thorough understanding of their procedural requirements, as well as their legal implications. They require both the contractor and the architect, on behalf of the employer, to send a wide range of notices and letters if each party is to protect its legitimate interests. The main contract forms are also supported by complex sub-contract documentation. Therefore, it is not surprising that when this book of specimen letters, notices and forms was first published, it was widely welcomed by the construction industry. The book provides examples of documentation likely to be required for a contract under the following JCT forms: ? the Standard Form of Building Contract ? the Intermediate Form of Building Contract ? the Agreement for Minor Building Works ? the Standard Form of Building Contract With Contractor's Design It includes a commentary on the practical implications of the various documents and highlights the points to be watched. The new edition takes into account the wide range of amendments to the latest editions of the standard forms following the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, and in particular, the new payment and adjudication provisions. For the first time it features documentation for use with the JCT design and build form.

(Express permission is made in the various ICE forms of co...)
Express permission is made in the various ICE forms of contract, and in the CECA forms of subcontract, for claims by the contractor for reimbursement of additional costs and for allowance of additional time to compensate for events that were not foreseeable at the date of the contract. In addition, claims may be made for damages for breach of contract, where the employer or his engineer is in default of his obligations under the contract. But the application of clauses giving rights to such compensation or damages is frequently misunderstood, with the result that the notices and records necessary for a claim to succeed are often not available. This, the third edition of an essentially practical book, explains the legal requirements of a successful claim, and the actions that should be taken by the contractor when difficulties arise that give him a right to reimbursement or to an extension of time, or, more usually, both. Similarly, actions are explained that should be taken by the employer and by his engineer in resisting unjustified claims. This edition covers both the Fifth and the Sixth Editions of the ICE Conditions, the Minor Works Conditions, and the Design and Construct Conditions. New features include a chapter on the New Engineering Contract and the CECA Forms of Subcontract. Examples of claims submissions are included, and a number of recent cases have been considered.
