John Wiley and Sons Ltd The Contractors NEC3 ECC Handbook
Book SynopsisAddresses the daily challenges faced by contractors who use the NEC3 ECC with clear, practical and useable advice on how to solve them Written in plain English for contractors and their staff, this book explains how the NEC3 contract works and provides answers to common questions. It presents complicated concepts in a simple, straightforward and understandable way, focusing mainly on day-to-day use. Steven Evans, an expert with thirty years of experience in construction, considers all the provisions of the contract and explains the procedures, obligations, and liabilities contained within it. NEC3 ECC is a process-based contract based on project management best practices. The basic philosophy behind it differs radically from the more adversarial approaches embodied by traditional contracts. While the NEC3 ECC may appear quite simple on the surface, it is often misunderstood and mismanaged by its day-to-day users.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd MultiParty and MultiContract Arbitration in the
Book SynopsisMulti-Party and Multi-Contract Arbitration in the Construction Industry provides the first detailed review of multi-party arbitration in the international construction sector. Highly practical in approach, the detailed interpretation and assessment of the arbitration of multi-party disputes will facilitate understanding and decision making by arbitrators, clients and construction contractors.Trade Review"Dr Dimitar Kondev's book on multi-party and multi-contract arbitration in the construction industry tackles a complex topic, which presents many hurdles in practice. Dr Kondev has successfully accomplished this difficult task. He leads the reader through the intricacies and pitfalls of this subject in an efficient and well-structured manner. He also takes a convincing stance on the most controversial issue and proposes pragmatic and workable solutions to the recurring problems that arise with respect to multi-party arbitration in construction disputes. This book might be of interest not only for practitioners specialised in construction arbitration but also for the arbitration community... In view of the foregoing, there is no doubt that this book is a must read for arbitration practitioners. Let us hope that Dr Kondev’s recommendations will be well received and implemented by the practitioners and drafters of international standard forms and arbitration rules. This would be a significant step-forward in enhancing dispute resolution in the construction industry." Fabrice Robert-Tissot, International Business Law Journal (RDAI 2018/1, pp 121-124) “This is the first book which deals with multi-party and multi-contract arbitration in the construction sector.… In his book, Dr Kondev makes an in-depth analysis of the legal regulation of this type of arbitration contained in the most popular institutional arbitration rules and the arbitration laws of different jurisdictions. The book also offers an up-to-date and thorough review of how multi-party and multi-contract arbitration is dealt with in the most widely used international standard forms of construction contract (such as the FIDIC books, NEC3, etc.) and some domestic standard forms (used mostly in Great Britain, the US and some Scandinavian countries)… The book also contains practical guidelines for drafting multi-party arbitration clauses… Because of the importance of the matters discussed in this treatise, it would be of great value to lawyers, arbitrators and academics in the field of international commercial arbitration.” Society and Law (5/2017, pp 111-112) "Complex arbitration disputes involving multiple parties and multiple contracts are both an evergreen – as demonstrated by the extensive literature on the subject – and a hot topic – confirmed, eg, by numerous amendments to arbitration rules in recent years... Given this background, is it possible to add anything new or meaningful? KONDEV has demonstrated that it definitely is. On the one hand, his study is clearly structured, well written, and thoroughly researched; this alone makes it stand out and merit a strong recommendation. On the other hand, KONDEV adds a specialist perspective to the debate, namely that of the construction industry... The author ‘attempted to bridge the gap between the theoretical proposals regarding multi-party arbitration and their practical application’ (pp 326-327). It is submitted that he fully succeeded. Anyone dealing with multi-party, multicontract issues in the construction industry will benefit from this new book – drafters of contracts or rules as well as counsel, arbitrators, or judges in pending proceedings." Johannes Landbrecht, 36 ASA Bulletin 1/2018 (March), p. 256 “Another publication on multi-party arbitration? Was that necessary, given that a lot has been written about this topic over the years already? It was. For at least two reasons. First, most of the existing contributions discuss the issue in a general context without regard to the peculiarities of disputes and specific contractual frameworks found in the construction industry. Second, many articles identify the numerous problems of multi-party arbitration without providing any self-contained practical solutions. Dimitar Kondev’s 408-page book fills these two gaps… For a number of reasons, Kondev’s book is of great value. It provides a useful overview of different approaches in arbitration rules, arbitration legislation and standard form contracts. It explains the importance of tailoring arbitration agreements to reflect the peculiarities of each project, the peculiarities of the underlying contracts, the peculiarities of the applicable arbitration rules and relevant national laws. Finally, the author addresses concerns and provides thoughts and ideas that are absolutely essential for drafting multi-party arbitration clauses. Not only, but in particular, the last two chapters of the book are very inspiring, even for experienced practitioners, and the various committees and working groups involved in the development of standard form contracts and arbitration rules.” Hein-Jürgen Schramke, Construction Law International 13 (1) (March 2018) “As surprising as it may sound, Multi-Party and Multi-Contract Arbitration in the Construction Industry appears to be the first published monograph dealing specifically with the topic of multi-party and multi-contract arbitration in the construction sector. [Dr Kondev's] dual background as practicing lawyer and scholar allows him to address with success the topic of this book from both theoretical and practical standpoints... Dr Kondev’s expertise and well researched approach makes this monograph a highly informative read. Dr Kondev’s insightful book will be of use first and foremost to construction practitioners who are looking for a comprehensive study of the difficulties raised by the multi-party and multi-contract nature of construction disputes. That book, however, should also appeal to general arbitration practitioners and academics looking to deepen their understanding of multi-party and multi-contract arbitration, as much of the insights transpose well into areas of arbitration practice other than construction." Dr. Remy Gerbay, ICC Dispute Resolution Bulletin, Issue 2 (2018), pp. 83-84 “Dr Kondev’s book provides a useful in-depth analysis of the three main legal sources of the regulation of multi-party arbitration: the arbitration agreement, applicable arbitration rules and arbitration laws… Dr Kondev’s clear analysis leads him to conclude that the current legal framework has largely failed to provide workable solutions for the construction sector. He suggests two ways in which this framework could be improved: through the contractual regulation of multi-party disputes and by amendments to the arbitration institutional rules. Of particular practical use, recognising that the drafting of multi-party arbitration clauses can be a daunting complex exercise, Dr Kondev considers in detail the drafting of such clauses. He provides clear, and sensible guidelines, as a checklist for the drafter. Overall Dr Kondev has achieved his aim: to contribute at the theoretical level and to produce a book with a clear practical approach to the problems discussed. His book is of interest to anyone involved or interested in international construction arbitration including in-house lawyers, arbitrators, private practitioners, academics and those involved in drafting international standard forms and arbitration rules. “ Marion Smith QC, 35 The International Construction Law Review, No. 3 (2018), pp. 359-360 Table of ContentsAbout the Author x Foreword xi Preface xiii Acknowledgements xv List of Abbreviations xvi 1 Introduction 1 1.1 General background and research problem 1 1.2 Scope of the book, limitations and literature review 4 1.2.1 Scope of the book 4 1.2.2 Limitations 4 1.2.3 Literature review 5 1.3 Sources used 6 1.4 Structure of the book 9 1.5 Aims and contribution of the book 10 2 Multi‐Party Arbitration in General 11 2.1 Terminology notes 11 2.1.1 Definition of multi‐party arbitration 11 2.1.2 Multi‐party and multi‐contract arbitration: divergent or similar concepts?

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Construction Adjudication
Book SynopsisAdjudication has been the main means of settling construction disputes since it was first introduced by the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, and a substantial body of case law has now built up.

It has now been revised to reflect the authors'' experience of adjudication in practice and to cover the large number of court decisions. It features useful appendices on adjudication materials.Trade Review'The book ... is the best in the business' Tony Bingham, Building 13 August 2004 'This is a cracking book, even better than the first edition and one I even took on holiday with me!

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Liquidated Damages and Extensions of Time
Book SynopsisLiquidated damages and extensions of time are complex subjects, frequently forming the basis of contract claims made under the standard building and civil engineering contracts. Previous editions of Liquidated Damages and Extensions of Time are highly regarded as a guide for both construction industry professionals and lawyers to this complex area. The law on time and damages continues to develop with an increasing flow of judgments from the courts. Alongside this, the standard forms of contract have also developed over time to reflect prevailing approaches to contractual relationships. Against this background a third edition will be welcomed by construction professionals and lawyers alike. Retaining the overall approach of the previous editions, the author clarifies, in a highly readable but legally rigorous way, the many misunderstandings on time and damages which abound in the construction industry. The third edition takes account of a Trade Review"Practitioners of construction contracts owe a debt to Brian Eggleston for this updated publication and the sooner they add this to their library the better."

John Wiley and Sons Ltd The JCT Minor Works Building Contracts 2005
Book SynopsisThe Minor Works Building Contract is the most widely used of the JCT forms of contact, not only for simple, short contracts of moderate price, for which it is intended, but also for much larger projects for which it is often not suited at all. As a result, contractual difficulties can arise, and despite the form''s simplicity an understanding of the legal background to the form is essential. This book explains the practical applications of the form from the point of view of the employer, architect and contractor. It provides a straightforward explanation of the legal aspects of the form supported by flow charts, tables and sample letters. The Fourth Edition has been revised to cover the 2005 edition of the form, which has given the contract a completely new look. The book now covers the new JCT Minor Works Building Contract with contractor''s design (MWD).Trade Review'The first [edition] was an instant hit for me and edition four is just as good.'

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Contract Changes: The Dark Side of EU Procurement
Book SynopsisContract Changes comparatively analyses the contract modification regulation of 11 EU Member States, drawing on case law and common legal practice. As the first comparative study of material contract modifications, this book explores the interpretation of key concepts such as: unforeseen circumstances, non-equivocal clauses and the overall nature of the contract.Highlighting the discord between the transparency of the award of a public contract and the transparency of its implementation, the book interprets the execution phase of procurement contracts as the dark side of public procurement. Considering unforeseen circumstances, the change of the identity of the contractor, non-compliance and remedies, this book provides a unique insight into the challenges of interpretation and application of contract modification rules. It concludes that, whilst the flexibility to make contract amendments is required in some circumstances, the grounding principles of public procurement law must be considered and applied in these instances.This original book will be of interest to researchers who are working in public procurement, European and comparative law. It will also be valuable to lawyers, contractors and policymakers involved with public procurement contracts, contracting authorities and advising private companies.Trade Review‘The execution phase of public contracts is subject to public procurement law and principles, but it is non-transparent compared with the pre-award stages of public contracting. With its comparative study of procurement contract execution in several EU countries this book provides a highly valuable insight into this post-award area of public procurement law.’ -- Sune Troels Poulsen, Attorney at Sune Troels Poulsen Law FirmTable of ContentsContents: Foreword xi 1 Introduction: why the ‘Dark Side of procurement’? 1 Dacian C.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Abrechnung und Bezahlung von Bauleistungen:
Book SynopsisAndreas Schmidt gibt praktische Hilfestellung für die zeitnahe Realisierung und Absicherung von Vergütungsansprüchen. Dies ist für Bauunternehmen eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für den Unternehmenserfolg, denn diese sind nach der gesetzlichen Konzeption des Werkvertragsrechts grundsätzlich vorleistungspflichtig – d.h. sie müssen das für die Leistungserbringung erforderliche Personal, Material und Gerät zunächst vorfinanzieren. Der Autor zeigt, wie der Bauunternehmer die Regelungen im BGB und in der VOB/B betreffend die Abrechnung seiner Leistung sachgemäß anwendet, um Zahlungsflüsse zu beschleunigen. Zudem erfährt der Unternehmer, wie er reagieren kann, wenn der Auftraggeber verspätet oder gar nicht zahlt und wie er seinen Vergütungsanspruch für den Insolvenzfall absichern kann.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Intelligente Vergabestrategien bei Großprojekten:
Book SynopsisDie Autoren untersuchen die Voraussetzungen für eine erfolgreiche Vergabestrategie bei Großprojekten. Zunächst analysieren sie die Risiken für die am Bau Beteiligten und stellen Varianten dar, wie Planungs- und Bauleistungen zu vergeben sind. Danach werden die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen von in jüngerer Zeit „in Mode gekommenen“ Vergabemodellen, insbesondere die Vergabe mit Garantiertem Maximalpreis bzw. die Beauftragung von Construction Managern, diskutiert.
