The Joint Contracts Tribunal's Standard Form of Building Contract is a common contract used in the UK to procure building work. Understanding is a core part of any student's degree and a part of the working life of those in the construction industry. This text works through the contract systematically explaining it in easy-to-follow language, covers all issues thoroughly and illustrates with case law examples the situation and latest amendments. It should be of interest to students of construction and professionals seeking to update their knowledge.
