β¦ Synopsis
Is there a difference between inspecting and supervizing? What does βtime-barredβ mean? Is the contractor entitled to take possession of a section of the work even though it is the contractor's fault that possession is not practicable? Construction law can be a minefield. Professionals need answers which are pithy and straightforward, as well as legally rigorous. The two hundred questions in the book are real questions, picked from the thousands of telephone enquiries David Chappell has received as a Specialist Adviser to the Royal Institute of British Architects. The material is considerably updated from the first edition β weeded, extended and almost doubled in coverage. The questions range in content from extensions of time, liquidated damages and loss and/or expense to issues of warranties, bonds, novation, practical completion, defects, valuation, certificates and payment, architectsβ instructions, adjudication and fees. Brief footnotes and a table of cases are included for those who wish to investigate further. ThisΒ will be an invaluable reference forΒ architects, project managers, contractors, QSs, employers and others involved in construction.
