Overview
The New Engineering Contract is radically different from the traditional forms of contract used in the construction industry. Its style is novel and its structure is unique. It aims to promote good management and to offer maximum flexibility in its application. Although only first published in 1991, it is already in widespread use in the United Kingdom and overseas on numerous building and civil engineering projects. This book, believed to be the first written on the subject, provides a detailed commentary on the Engineering and Construction Contract and the other contracts which make up the New Engineering Contract family of forms. It reviews how the contracts fit into the general framework of contractual relationships and dealings, and it examines each clause of the contracts on a line by line basis to consider their practical application and their legal interpretation. Particular attention is given to use of the option structure, obligations of the parties, role of the project manager, operation of the compensation event procedures, and resolution of disputes.Editorials
