Contracting for engineering and construction projects (5th ed.)

Peter Marsh?s book has long been recognized as a standard work.

With its emphasis on the commercial aspects of contracting, this book represents an eminently practical guide to this complex subject for purchaser and contractor alike.

This edition reflects recent changes in case law and legislation, the major change being the passing of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996.

The book also charts changes to model forms of contract conditions, in particular the new PACE forms of government contracts.

Contracts covered are those for the construction of buildings and civil engineering works, the supply and installation of mechanical, electrical and process plants and also for computer system and facilities management.

Methods of contracting, including PFI schemes, are critically examined and reference is made to the Government?s latest thinking on prime contracting.
