Riassunto

Peter Marsh's book has long been recognized as a standard work. With its emphasis on the commercial aspects of contracting, it represents a practical guide to this complex subject for purchaser and contractor alike. This new edition has been brought fully up to date to reflect recent changes in case law and legislation, the major change being the passing of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. The book also charts changes to model forms of contract conditions, in particular the new PACE forms of government contracts. Contracts covered are those for the construction of buildings and civil engineering works, the supply and installation of mechanical, electrical and process plants, and also for computer system and facilities management. Methods of contracting, including PFI schemes, are critically examined and reference is made to the Government's latest thinking on prime contracting.
As in previous editions, this book covers contract planning and contract administration, deals with both the preparation and the appraisal of tenders and explains in detail how to draft the key clauses in a contract to ensure the maximum advantage. In this revised version, Contracting for Engineering and Construction Projects will continue to serve the needs of purchasing and contracts staff, engineers, quantity surveyors, project managers and legal advisers seeking a reliable source of guidance.
