The New Engineering Contract by Brian Eggleston

The New Engineering Contract by Brian Eggleston

The new engineering contract has been promoted widely following the Latham Report, as the ideal form of contract for building, civil engineering and plant projects, both in the UK and overseas. The contract has a novel style of drafting which deliberately avoids the legalistic wording of conventional contracts, and seeks, as a matter of policy, to reduce adversarial attitudes. However, this has resulted in a contract whose wording and structure is largely unfamiliar to those in the industry. This book examines the contract in detail so that users can understand its operation and the potential pitfalls and difficulties.

Brain Eggleston CEng, FICE, FIStructE, FCIArb, is a chartered arbitrator with extensive UK and international experience. He also acts as an adjudicator and mediator and as an adviser to contractors and employers on contractual matters. He is well known as a seminar speaker on contract law and standard forms.

In a career spanning over 40 years he has worked on all sides of the construction industry, firstly as a bridge designer, then as a resident engineer and contracts administrator, and subsequently as a director of various building and civil engineering contracting companies. He is author of five other books for Blackwell Science, including the best selling Liquidated Damages and Extensions of Time, now in its Second Edition.
