Book excerpt: Understanding JCT Standard Building Contracts is a compact and accessible guide to the three major forms of contract in the JCT series: The Standard Form of Building Contract with Quantities 1980 (JCT 1980), The Intermediate Form of Building Contract 1984 (IFC 84), and The Agreement for Minor Building Works 1980 (MW 80). This, the fifth edition, has been thoroughly revised, incorporating the latest amendments to the Standard Form of Building Contract which also affect the two other contracts. The author avoids legal jargon, and has arranged the guide by topic to provide a practical reference tool for architects, quantity surveyors and contractors, and for students of those professions.
