Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The original series of Aqua Group books - Tenders and Contracts for Building , Pre-Contract Practice and Contract Administration - first published from 1960-75, has long been established as laying down good practice for the building team, as well as for students.
This brand new volume brings together for the first time material from Pre-Contract Practice and Contract Administration . The text has been substantially updated to take account of changes to industry practice, JCT 98 and subsequent revisions, the Construction Act, and a host of other changes. It also features a new chapter on capital allowances.
Includes index.
Originally published in 2 vols. as: Pre-contract practice. 1992 - Contract administration for the building team. 1996.
