While the extent of contractor-produced design can vary, this method of construction procurement affords the contractor a greater level of input and responsibility than traditionally procured contracts, where the employer has greater design responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver the last decade in the UK, it has become clear that D\u0026amp;B contracts are becoming the most popular method for procuring construction projects, often echoing the ways in which contracts for infrastructure and process plant can be procured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst D\u0026amp;B can provide a greater degree of contractor input for producing feasibility and concept designs, and then the detailed design to deliver a project, many clients amend standard forms of D\u0026amp;B contracts to alter the contractors’ design input. This can significantly change D\u0026amp;B, deviating from the procedures set out in the standard forms of D\u0026amp;B contract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book firstly takes the reader through each stage of a project (based upon the RIBA Plan of Work 2020) to provide guidance on how D\u0026amp;B contracts were intended to operate, and then secondly, identifies how D\u0026amp;B contracts and their procedures have changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReaders will find:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOutline commentary and guidance on commonly used standard forms of D\u0026amp;B contract, including: JCT Design and Build 2016; FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Plant Design-Build 2017; and NEC4.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHow each D\u0026amp;B contract is intended to operate during each stage of the RIBA Plan of Work 2020.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHow the operation of D\u0026amp;B contracts and their procedures are often amended.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn ideal resource for contractors, employers, and consultants, as well as those studying construction at university, \u003cem\u003eDesign and Build Contracts\u003c\/em\u003e offers helpful commentary and guidance for how each stage of a D\u0026amp;B engineering or construction project should progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470408270060,"sku":"9781119814825","price":190.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781119814825-design-and-build-contracts.jpg?v=1775218668","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/design-and-build-contracts-by-guy-higginbottom-9781119814825","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
