	Defective Construction Work
	Order Code: CR227A ISBN Number: 9780632059294 Publisher: CIRIA No. of Pages: 224 Date of Publication: 2008 Price: £65.00
Defective construction work, whether the result of inadequate design, faulty workmanship or poor materials - or some combination of these failings - is a frequent cause of legal disputes. Someone is usually to blame, either the builder or one or more of the professional consultants, or even the entire project team. It is important therefore that the project team should possess a good working knowledge of their responsibilities and liabilities. Written by a solicitor with over twenty years of experience of building disputes, this book examines the responsibilities and liabilities of the project team when defects occur. It sets out the background role of the common law and statute and includes detailed discussion of important case law affecting the construction process from inception through to completion, together with a consideration of the impact of letters of intent, 'no contract' situations, and specific provisions of model conditions of contract. Contents: Preface Glossary Definition and categorization Common law, statutory and contractual rights Contracts - an overview No Contact/Restitution Letters of Intent Tort - an overview The Defective Premises Act 1972 Third Party Rights Statutory requirements The builder's obligations - design, workmanship and materials The builder's obligations - defects before completion The builder's obligations - defects at completion Defective works post completion The Professional Team Architects/Engineers Surveyors Project Managers & others Compensation Remedies/damages/limitation Limitation Dispute resolution Table of cases Index
