Customer Reviews

Excellent Book for the intermediate - advanced
I bought the previous version of this book based around JCT 80 forms (as well as ICE etc) as a student in 1998. I have since bought this version as a professional surveyor as it an invaluable reference.

Complicated issues explained well. Goes well with Understanding JCT Contracts for the more basic principles.

An easy to understand law book!
I bought this book in advance of starting a construction law module for a masters course. I think its fair to say that it explained concepts and issues very clearly and proved to be a reliable, indispensable and comforting reference throughout the course. I would recommend it to anyone studying or in practice.

Useful for practicing engineers
I found the book very well structured and easy to read. The author has done great job in describing the core principles and differences between various procurement methods and the most suitable fields of application. Being a structural engineer who is not constantly involved in drafting contracts, I find the book a very good source of reference.
I would definitely recommend it to any professional in the construction industry who may have any interest in procurement methods.
