Download or read book The New Engineering Contract written by Arthur McInnis and published by Thomas Telford. This book was released on 2001 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of the New Engineering Contract (NEC) encourages a systematic approach to contracting which is multidisciplinary in nature and fully interlocked in form. The NEC is intended by its supporters to be more flexible and easier to use than any current leading traditional standard forms of contract. It is believed that these features reduce adversariality and disputes. The NEC seeks to achieve this aim primarily through co-operative management techniques and incentives built into the NEC's procedures. This commentary analyses and evaluates these and related claims of innovation. The New Engineering Contract: A legal commentary examines the background to the NEC, its design objectives, structure, procedures and likely judicial interpretation to determine whether it improves upon the traditional standard forms of contract. Special attention is given in the commentary to the development and the significance of the principles underlying preparation of the NEC as well as the arguments in favour of and against them.Throughout the detailed commentary upon the NEC clauses comparisons to the traditional forms are also made to highlight unique features and principles of general application. The conclusion reached is that the NEC does make a significant contribution to the development of standard forms of contract, addresses many of their short comings and offers one of the best models for their future development, direction and design. The commentary draws upon the body of the project management literature and legal analysis to support its conclusions. The New Engineering Contract: A legal commentary will be essential reading for lawyers, barristers and solicitors, as well as engineers and project managers.

Download or read book Risk and Insurance in Construction written by Nael G. Bunni and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-16 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new 3rd edition of Nael Bunni’s Risk and Insurance in Construction, now co-authored with Lydia Bunni, explains the need for insurance in construction and engineering projects and why it must be incorporated into the Conditions of Contract for such projects. It is unique in bringing together the background of the two topics of 'risk' and 'construction insurance', explaining the flow and the interaction between them and then dealing with how they have been used to formulate the 2017 FIDIC Suite of Contracts and the 2021 Green Book. This edition has been fully updated, and new chapters deal with the latest definitions of 'risk' outlined in ISO 31000: 2009, and specifically explains the principles embodied in the new Clauses 17, 18 and 19 of the Major Suite of the FIDIC forms of contract and how they should be used. An important chapter (Chapter 5) is included, discussing the logical transition from decision-making to risk identification to responsibility for those allocated with particular risks, to the potential liability that results. This includes discussing particular liabilities that may arise for parties typically involved in construction and engineering projects, including developers, owners, contractors and designers. This part of the book links insurance to the law and explains the interaction between the two topics. The correlation between liability and the need for indemnity, which can only be provided properly through insurance, is highlighted. The book is essential reading for practitioners from both the engineering profession and the insurance industry in all types of projects. Engineers who are required to use one of the Major Forms of the FIDIC Suite of Contracts, whether they are designers or contractors, and those involved in the insurance sector, whether brokers, claim consultants or insurance company personnel, will find this book to be an indispensable reference.

Download or read book Risk and Insurance in Construction written by Nael G. Bunni and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those involved in construction have to cope with so much learning in their own discipline that they shun further involvement in subjects such as insurance and law which in themselves are so deeply and intensely complex. However, insurance and law are interwoven in the basic procedures used in the construction industry for undertaking work, be they design, construction, supervision or operation, or any combination of them. This thoroughly revised edition of Nael Bunni's successful book, formerly called Insurance in Construction, provides information on risk, construction law and construction insurance for those involved with all aspects of construction. The chapters on risk have been expanded to include recent developments in the area and provide further examples of events which could occur on what can be viewed as the most risky human work activity, namely construction. New chapters are also added to deal with the insurance clauses of the many new standard forms of contract published in recent years, including FIDIC's new suite of contracts published in September 1999, ICE's seventh edition of the civil engineering standard form of contract, and ICE's second edition of the design/build form.
Download or read book Risks Deterrents in Construction Projects written by Pawan Dua and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-01-16 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risks add threats and thrills in projects. Risks have the ability to fail or cause losses, or even doom to projects. Projects always have higher risks than reflected in the risk registers. Under the current VUCA environment, construction projects are exposed to the highest risks, uncertainties and deterrents. The best-planned projects also encounter risks and even experts cannot zero down the risks completely. Thus, it needs a culture, system and spirit to manage risks. By applying risk management, teams can curb the impact and probability of negative risks and exploit and enhance opportunities in projects. The objective of the book is to inculcate the culture of professional risk management, involving subject specialists and conduct risk management in a structured manner. It is not the exclusive responsibility of the sales manager, tender manager, project manager, lawyers and risk experts to manage risks, rather a collective responsibility of the entire team and organization. This book is a bible to support professionals who are practising or willing to make their career in the management of construction, risks, contracts, or project domains.
Download or read book The FIDIC Forms of Contract written by Nael G. Bunni and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 731 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 1999, FIDIC introduced its new Suite of Contracts, which included a “new” Red, Yellow, Silver and Green forms of contract. The “new” Red Book was intended to replace the 1992 fourth edition of the Red Book, with the ambition that its use would cease with time. This ambition has not materialised and is unlikely to do so in the future. Despite the importance of the 1999 Forms, there has been very little published on the new concepts adopted in them and how they interact with the previous forms. This important work considers these aspects together with the many developments affecting the fourth edition of the Red Book that have taken place since 1997, when the second edition of this book was published, and relates them to key contracting issues. It is written by a chartered engineer, conciliator and international arbitrator with wide experience in the use of the FIDIC Forms and in the various dispute resolution mechanisms specified in them. Important features of this book include: · background and concepts of the various forms of contract; · a detailed comparison of the wording of the1999 three main forms, which although similar in nature; it nevertheless significantly differs in certain areas where the three forms diverge due to their intended purpose; · analysis of the rights and obligations of the parties involved in the contract and the allocation of risks concerned; · a range of ‘decision tree’ charts, analysing the main features of the 1992 Red Book, including risks, indemnities and insurances, claims and counterclaims, variations, procedure for claims, programme and delay, suspension, payments and certificates, dispute resolution mechanisms, and dispute boards; · a much enlarged discussion of the meaning of “claim” and “dispute” and the types of claim with a discussion of the Notice provision in the 1999 forms of contract for the submittal of claims by a contractor and by an employer; · the FIDIC scheme of indemnities and insurance requirements; and the methods of dispute resolution provided by the various forms of contract; and · five new chapters in this third edition, the first four chapters deal with each of the 1999 forms and the fifth chapter is confined to the topic of Dispute Boards.
