The Shorter Forms of Building Contract

Now brought fully up-to-date this book offers a commentary on all clauses of the 1980 Minor Works Agreement. It looks, in particular, at the valuation of variations, extending the contract period, and the architect's responsibilities on site. It also surveys a range of other shorter froms - the ACA form, GC/Works/2, the Faculty of Architects and Surveyor's forms, the Scottish Minor Works form of contract, the GLC form and the JCLI form for landscape work - which are brought together for the first time in one book. The new edition includes material on IFC 84, changes on VAT and recent legal cases.
