This book provides over 300 standard letters for architects and
contract administrators to use at all stages of contract
administration. The letters are grouped into sections which
correspond with the RIBA Plan of Work: the aim is to cover all the
common situations encountered in practice.
This Fourth Edition has been revised to take account of the
extensive changes to virtually the whole of the JCT suite of
building contracts. Unless otherwise stated, all letters are
suitable for use with:
· JCT Standard Building Contract (SBC)
· JCT Intermediate Building Contract (IC)
· JCT Intermediate Building Contract with
contractor’s design (ICD)
· JCT Minor Works Building Contract (MW)
· JCT Minor Works Building Contract with contractor’s
design (MWD)
· JCT Design and Build Contract (DB)
· GC/Works/1 (1998) With Quantities Contract
The latest edition also takes account of the CDM Regulations
2007, the revised RIBA Code of Conduct and its associated guidance
notes, and the RIBA standard agreements for the appointment of an
architect issued in 2007.
Architects and contract administrators spend a great deal of
time writing letters of various types. Many of them are routine and
repetitive in character, but they require proper consideration if
potentially dangerous liability situations are to be avoided. The
book will be of use not only to architects and contract
administrators but also to project managers and employers’
agents.
