Samenvatting

The majority of construction work is carried out by subcontractors. As building projects become more complex, subcontractors need to understand the implications of the agreements they sign. The JCT 2011 Building Subcontracts has been written to help the busy subcontractor deal effectively with the range of JCT 2011 subcontracts they will encounter. It covers the most commonly use 2011 subcontracts, looking at the key contract conditions, the rights and obligations of the parties and how risk is allocated. A key element of the book is the discussion of the main practical problems that arise. Accessible and practical, this book will ensure building and construction subcontractors understand these contracts and have an easy to consult reference if any questions arise. It will also be of interest to main contractors, architects, contract administrators, project managers, quantity surveyors, contracts consultants and construction lawyers.
