The JCT Minor Works Building Contracts 2005, Fourth Edition

Description

The Minor Works Building Contract is the most widely used of the JCT forms of contact, not only for simple, short contracts of moderate price, for which it is intended, but also for much larger projects for which it is often not suited at all. 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 the employer, architect and contractor. It provides a straightforward explanation of the legal aspects of the form supported by flow charts, tables and sample letters.The Fourth Edition has been revised to cover the 2005 edition of the form, which has given the contract a completely new look. The book now covers the new JCT Minor Works Building Contract with contractor's design (MWD).Content: Chapter 1 The Purpose and Use of MW and MWD (pages 1–16): Chapter 2 Contract Comparisons (pages 17–23): Chapter 3 Contract Documents and Insurance (pages 24–40): Chapter 4 Architect (pages 41–67): Chapter 5 Contractor (pages 68–85): Chapter 6 Employer (pages 86–97): Chapter 7 Quantity Surveyor and Clerk of Works (pages 98–115): Chapter 8 Subcontractors and Suppliers (pages 116–128): Chapter 9 Possession (pages 129–147): Chapter 10 Claims (pages 148–162): Chapter 11 Payment (pages 163–180): Chapter 12 Termination (pages 181–202): Chapter 13 Contractor's Designed Portion (CDP) (pages 203–207): Chapter 14 Dispute Resolution Procedures (pages 208–234):
