The 2005 version of the JCT Intermediate Building Contract has introduced a very different looking contract format and a number of changes to contract conditions. A completely new Intermediate Building Contract with Contractor's Design has also been issued.

This well established guide, which has been thoroughly updated, looks at the changes and key aspects of both forms, and takes account of new case law since the last edition of the book published in 1999. It also discusses the new subcontract agreements.

Reviews
"The third edition of this well-established text continues to provide sound guidance in respect of the revised IC and also introduces a new version of the form, the Intermediate Form with Contractor's Design (ICD).
All the clauses relating to a particular subject are dealt with comprehensively in a clear and logical manner together with the relevant case law. The book has a number of useful features which will be appreciated by busy practitioners; these include a bullet pointed summary at the end of each chapter, flowcharts and over 60 sample letters providing good practice models for both contractors and contract administrators to follow.
It does represent good value for practitioners, especially when one considers how expensive ignorance can be when contractual matters are wrongly handled."
