Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The three books by the Aqua Group, Tenders and Contracts, Pre-Contract Practice and Contract Administration , have long been established as standard works on good practice for the building team as well as students.
The first in the series, Tenders and Contracts for Building, examines the wide range of tendering procedures and contractual arrangements now available to clients in addition to traditional competitive tendering. It discusses the different circumstances dictating the choice of both tendering procedures and contractual arrangements and discusses their advantages and disadvantages.
The new edition has been revised to take into account the CDM Regulations and contractual changes introduced by the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act. The chapters on management and construction management contracts and on design and build contracts have been considerably revised, and for the first time there is a chapter on partnering.
The authors are a group of architects and quantity surveyors with experience in private practice and local government.
From the Chartered Quantity Surveyor:
These publications by The Aqua Group are absolutely essential reading for the young architect, civil engineer and QS.
Includes index.
