This volume looks at the history of the building industry from the end of the 18th century to the latter half of the 19th century. The first part examines the rise of general contracting as a system of building procurement, emphasizing the complexity of that development and the persistence of other modes of operation. Using contemporary evidence, it demonstrates the widespread adoption of the fixed price contract in the private, as well as the public sector.
