Book Description
This is a straight forward jargon-free practical guide about all aspects of extensions of time for all construction industry professionals. An extension of time is an issue which most architects and other construction professionals face sooner or later in their career. It is a complex area where the professional administering the contract must act in accordance with the contract conditions andfailure to do so will potentially land the professional and/or his client in court. Throughout the guide the information is presented in a way that is immediately accessible, useful and related to the latest JCT Contracts. Tables, graphs and a glossary are used to help the reader navigate through chapters on liquidated damages, terms under standard contracts, notification of delay, supply of information, assessment, concurrent delays and ethical issues. The authors have clarified potentially complex issues with short, relevant examples drawn from case law and have defined difficult concepts in easy-reference text boxes. This Good Practice Guide is a friendly reference tool for all architects or other professionals charged with assessing extensions of time.

Book Description
"Commercial pressures in recent years have placed new emphasis on the provisions for liquidated damages and extensions of time to be found in all standard forms of construction contracts." "Times for completion have shortened, levels of liquidated damages have risen, and the once familiar practice of employers waiving their right to deduct liquidated damages has disappeared." "A surge of cases in the courts reflects the increase in disputes on liquidated damages and extensions of time, and the legal rulings which have emerged show the need for all those involved in the financial management or contract administration of construction projects to be fully informed on the subject." "This book covers in detail the legal principles on liquidated damages and extensions of time and the effects and implications of recent judgments, and examines in depth the relevant clauses of the current standard forms of building and civil engineering contracts." "Particular attention is given to the pitfalls to be avoided in setting levels of liquidated damages, to the procedures which must be followed by architects, engineers and contract supervisors in granting extensions of time, and to clarifying the many misunderstandings on time and damages which abound in the construction industry."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
Liquidated damages and extensions of time are complex subjects, frequently forming the basis of contract claims made under the standard building and civil engineering contracts. Previous editions of Liquidated Damages and Extensions of Time are highly regarded as a guide for both construction industry professionals and lawyers to this complex area. The law on time and damages continues to develop with an increasing flow of judgments from the courts. Alongside this, the standard forms of contract have also developed over time to reflect prevailing approaches to contractual relationships. Against this background a third edition will be welcomed by construction professionals and lawyers alike. Retaining the overall approach of the previous editions, the author clarifies, in a highly readable but legally rigorous way, the many misunderstandings on time and damages which abound in the construction industry. The third edition takes account of a large volume of new case law since the previous edition was published over ten years ago, includes a new chapter on delay analysis and features significantly expanded chapters on penalty clauses, the effects of conditions precedent and time-bars, and the complexities of causation.

Book Description
Is there a difference between inspecting and supervizing? What does ‘time-barred’ mean? Is the contractor entitled to take possession of a section of the work even though it is the contractor's fault that possession is not practicable? Construction law can be a minefield. Professionals need answers which are pithy and straightforward, as well as legally rigorous. The two hundred questions in the book are real questions, picked from the thousands of telephone enquiries David Chappell has received as a Specialist Adviser to the Royal Institute of British Architects. The material is considerably updated from the first edition – weeded, extended and almost doubled in coverage. The questions range in content from extensions of time, liquidated damages and loss and/or expense to issues of warranties, bonds, novation, practical completion, defects, valuation, certificates and payment, architects’ instructions, adjudication and fees. Brief footnotes and a table of cases are included for those who wish to investigate further. This will be an invaluable reference for architects, project managers, contractors, QSs, employers and others involved in construction.

Book Description
Construction professionals of all kinds frequently need legal advice that is straightforward as well as authoritative and legally rigorous. Building on the success of two previous editions, David Chappell returns to provide answers to 225 FAQs from his experience as Specialist Advisor to the RIBA. With 50 new questions, and thorough updates to address changes to the law and contracts, this is an invaluable first port of call for any construction law problem. Questions range in content from extensions of time, liquidated damages and loss and/or expense to issues of practical completion, defects, valuation, certificates and payment, architects’ instructions, adjudication and fees. Among the new questions are: Is the contractor bound by its price even if there is an error? How do terms about working in a spirit of trust affect other clauses? Can architects lose their rights to certify under JCT 2011 contracts? Every question included has been asked of David Chappell during his career, and he uses his vast experience to provide clear, easy to follow advice in this book. Most were originally asked by architects, but the answers will be of wide interest to everyone involved in construction.
