This book provides a comprehensive guide to the 2024 edition of the JCT Design & Build Contract. It offers a straightforward reference to help practitioners understand the rights and obligations of the parties and administer the contract in an accurate and timely manner.

Part 1 explains each provision of the contract in plain English. Arranged by topics including Carrying out the Works, Control of the Works, Payments, Changes, Warranties, Disputes, Termination and more; it includes all the relevant extracts from the contract, avoiding the need for cross-referencing. Each section begins with a simple introduction and ends with a concluding summary.

Part 2 includes practical resources for the accurate and timely administration of the Contract, by both the Contractor and the Employer. This cross-references the corresponding provisions in Part 1 and includes useful templates and suggested replacement clauses and amendments often encountered in the real world.

Written to meet the needs of busy construction practitioners working with the JCT contract, this is a handy reference for project managers, quantity surveyors, commercial managers, design managers, and Employer’s Agents, their consultants and advisors.
