The 2005 version of the JCT Intermediate Building Contract has
introduced a very different looking contract format and a number of
changes to contract conditions. A completely new Intermediate
Building Contract with Contractor's Design has also been
issued.
This well established guide, which has been thoroughly updated,
looks at the changes and key aspects of both forms, and takes
account of new case law since the last edition of the book
published in 1999. It also discusses the new subcontract
agreements.
"The third edition of this well-established text continues to
provide sound guidance in respect of the revised IC and also
introduces a new version of the form, the Intermediate Form with
Contractor's Design (ICD).
All the clauses relating to a particular subject are dealt with
comprehensively in a clear and logical manner together with the
relevant case law. The book has a number of useful features which
will be appreciated by busy practitioners; these include a bullet
pointed summary at the end of each chapter, flowcharts and over 60
sample letters providing good practice models for both contractors
and contract administrators to follow.
It does represent good value for practitioners, especially when one
considers how expensive ignorance can be when contractual matters
are wrongly handled."
