Books about construction contracts tend to be dense and
wordy, but what most architects, quantity surveyors, project
managers, builders and employers are looking for is an easily
navigable, simple guide to using a contract, written in plain
language.
The JCT Standard Building Contract 2011 is an
uncomplicated book about a complex and commonly used contract. It
straightforwardly and concisely sets out exactly what the contract
requires in various circumstances, as far as possible without legal
jargon and without assuming any particular legal or contractual
expertise from the reader. It explains, often from first
principles, exactly what is meant by a contract and why certain
clauses, such as extension of time clauses or liquidated damages
clauses are present and more importantly, what they mean. The book
is divided into many chapters, each with many sub-headings, to make
it easy to read and to help readers to find relevant explanations
quickly. Tables and flowcharts are used to ensure clarity and most
chapters include a section dealing with common problems.
