It discusses the different circumstances dictating the choice of both tendering procedures and contractual arrangements and discusses their advantages and disadvantages. The new edition has been revised to take into account the CDM Regulations and contractual changes introduced by the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act. The chapters on management and construction management contracts and on design and build contracts have been considerably revised, and for the first time there is a chapter on partnering.
