This comprehensive and popular textbook aims to bridge the gap between theoretical study and practical application. It covers the essentials of construction contracts, including how the law has developed, the reasoning behind key clauses and how contract law is applied in practice, and it helps to make the transition from student to practitioner manageable.

This text is intended for all undergraduates studying a construction contract law or a contract administration module or unit. It is ideal for postgraduate degrees in quantity surveying and building surveying, construction project management, and construction management. Civil engineers and students of architecture and architectural technology will find it provides a comprehensive guide to the law in the construction context. It is also very comprehensive in scope and provides sufficient materials to bridge the gap between the student and professional texts.

- Discussion of the implementation of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009, amending the Housing Grants Construction and Regeneration Act 1996
- Updates to sections on the formation of contracts, mistakes in tenders, equitable remedies, agency and supervision, and the immunity of expert witnesses, reflecting the latest Supreme Court judgements
- Clarification of the relationship between construing and implication of terms, and the law on construction operations
- Expansion of the case law on professional liability, and on the Defective Premises Act as a statutory term
- More real-world construction examples to illustrate concepts and theories
