Construction Contracts

Construction Act 2009

In late 2011 the Housing Grants, Construction & Regeneration Act 1996 received an upgrade. 

Enter The Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009, in particular Part 8, which seeks to amend (not replace) the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 Part II and improve payment practices and dispute resolution in the construction industry.

Retention - Sense and Justice At Last!!

Back in 1964 Sir Harold Banwell wrote about collaborative working practices (long before Latham and Egan). He also urged that retention be gradually phased out. Forty-five years on and there seems to be no sign that this unhelpful and persistent stalwart is on its way out.

Back in 2010 I wrote about the problems surrounding the release of retention at the Westfield Development in London.

10 Commandments of Pre-Contract

The following list are 10 things you must do before you agree to sign up to a contract or indeed start work on site.
Now that the Construction Act 1996 has been amended, I have revisited this paper and updated to incorporate any changes. I have taken the opportunity to rewrite other sections of the paper to give a more rounded read for other sections of the industry. I hope you like the changes and look forward to hearing your opinion.
I believe that prevention is better than the cure. Not to mention a darn sight cheaper!!
