  Understanding JCT Standard Building Contracts is a readily accessible guide to the three major forms of contract in the JCT series: the standard Form of Building Contract with Quantities 1980 (JCT 1980), the Intermediate Form of Building Contract 1984 (IFC 84), and the Agreement for Minor Building Works 1980 (MW 80). This new edition has been thoroughly revised, bringing in the newest amendments to the Standard Form of Building Contract which also affect the two other contracts. The author avoids legal jargon and has arranged the guide by topic to provide a practical reference tool for architects, quantity surveyors and contractors, and for students of those professions.

  This latest edition of David Chappell's bestselling guide provides an expanded presentation of the Joint Contract Tribunal (JCT) standard contracts, the most common forms of building contract. The JCT Contract With Contractor's Design (WCD 98), also known as 'the design and build form', is now covered alongside the other three major forms of contract in the JCT series: JCT 98, IFC 98 and MW 98. David Chappell has updated the book in line with amendments to the contracts and recent case law. He avoids legal jargon but writes with authority and precision, in a style which won, for the fifth edition of the book, the first prize in the Best Textbook category of the 1999 Chartered Institute of Building Literary Awards. Architects, quantity surveyors and contractors, and students of those professions, should find this a straightforward and practical reference tool arranged by topic.
