The JCT Intermediate Building Contracts 2005

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.
