Overview
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.
