Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive guide to the 2024 edition of the JCT Design and Build Contract. It offers a straightforward reference to help practitioners understand the rights and obligations of the parties, and to administrate the Contract in an accurate and timely manner.

Part 1 provides commentary on all the key provisions of the Contract, in plain English. It adopts the same structure as the Contract and includes the relevant extracts to reduce the need for cross-referencing. There is also guidance on current market practice, and recommendations for best practice.

Part 2 contains over 300 corresponding resources for the administration of the Contract, by both the Contractor and the Employer. It includes notice and other correspondence templates, checklists, and trackers to assist record keeping.

Written to meet the needs of busy construction practitioners, this is an accessible, practical reference for those acting on behalf of the Contractor and the Employer (and Employer’s Agent), including project teams, consultants, and advisors. It is also ideally suited for students of construction law.
