The JCT 05 Standard Building Sub-Contract by Peter Barnes

Whilst there are a number of books on the main forms of building contract, very few deal with subcontracting. This book examines the new JCT Standard Building Sub-contracts for use with the radically revised 2005 JCT Standard Building Contract. It looks at the key contract conditions, considers the rights and obligations of the parties and how risk is allocated, and discusses the main practical problems that arise.
'There is a superb background chapter on getting into contractThen Barnes takes his reader through the machinery of the standard form. Better still, he tells you what to look for when signing up. The author's analysis of time obligations is excellent, as is his section on control of changes. Payment rules are comfortably explained. In short, Barnes is willing to share his 30 years of disputes with you and we could do with more books by him.' Tony Bingham, Building. 'Peter Barnes has over 30 years experience in contractor/ sub-contractor reltionships, so you would expect him to understnad the problmes that can arise at any stage in building contract and his experience is precisely what this book confirms.'
