Guide to the Standard Building Contract SBC05

This new edition of Sarah Lupton's popular Guide to JCT98 is a working aid to the operation and administration of the JCT Standard Form of Building Contract (SBC05) which replaces the former JCT98.

It provides a straightforward and comprehensive analysis of the new form inlight of today's legal and practice landscape. The guide points out the important new changes to the contract itself by reflecting on up-to-date cases that serve as valuable lessons to the unwary.

The contract's provisions, procedures and supplementary conditions are organised and defined by subject together with useful indexes and a clause comparison table, thus providing the hard-pressed practitioner with a comprehensive and concise reference guide for specific guidance during the course of the job.

This guide assumes only a general knowledge of JCT Standard Building Contract and so can be used by both the architect and construction students on the threshold of undertaking their professional examinations. It will also serve as an invaluable desktop reference guide for the busy contract administrator.
