Contract Practice for Surveyors by Jack Ramus,J. W. Ramus,Simon Birchall Pdf

The approach adopted has been to consider the duties of the surveyor in the light of the principal provisions of the JCT Standard Form of Building Contract, as those duties should be dealt with in accordance with accepted good practice. This has been supported by detailed examples enabling the reader to appreciate how the provisions of the Standard Form should be addressed and how the duties laid upon the surveyor in relation to them should be discharged.
