This latest title from Sarah Lupton provides comprehensive guidance to RIBA's two updated building contracts: RIBA Domestic Building Contract 2018 and the RIBA Concise Building Contract 2018.

Introducing the contracts' features and benefits and covering all aspects of their use, the Guide has been expanded with increased assistance on choice of form, tendering and contract formation. It enables readers to choose and form the right contract for the appropriate project and guides all parties through the various stages. A new section on practical completion, including certification, has been added, alongside additional detail on role and liabilities of contract administrators. Assuming no current knowledge of the law or contract administration, this acts as a standalone guide for new users of the RIBA contracts, as well as a valuable update for previous users. It is the ideal companion for anybody using the latest building contracts.
