Describes the fundamental principles of how English law applies to building and civil engineering contracts. Aimed primarily at students. Covers the syllabus requirements for first degrees in Building, Civil Engineering, Architecture, Quantity Surveying and Building Surveying. Also covers the requirements for postgraduate courses in Construction Management and Project Management. The book provides explanations of features found in contemporary construction contracts and may therefore serve as a reference guide to practitioners such as consultants, builders, clients and lawyers. It now includes comparisons of working with JCT, NEC3, and FIDIC contracts throughout.
