Download or read book Design Liability in the Construction Industry written by David L. Cornes and published by Blackwell Science Incorporated. This book was released on 1994 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many designers in the construction industry now feel less concerned about liability for negligence, because of changes in the law of tort over the last few years, it is clear from recent House of Lords' cases (Linden Gardens and St Martin's) that their liability in contract may now extend to loss suffered by subsequent property owners. The increasing use of collateral warranties has also extended a designer's liability. This book, which has been completely rewritten for the Fourth Edition, provides an authoritative and detailed guide to the law on design liability. The new edition includes a summary of the law of tort as it has developed, an extended section on collateral warranties, a chapter on design and build, which considers a wide range of contracts and looks at how the design and build contractor's position differs from that of the professional designer, and a new section on alternative dispute resolution. A substantial number of additional cases have been added, including a number from outside England and Wales. As in previous editions, the book considers the problems not only of design liability as such, but also the dangers attached to negligent supervision and certification, and it includes practical guidance on professional indemnity insurance. David Cornes' book continues to be the source of reference for all architects, engineers and contractors concerned with the subject of design liability, as well as for employers and the legal profession.

This book was released on 2013-11-14 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liability for the design of a building or structure is of fundamental concern to construction professionals, design-build contractors, specialist sub-contractors, and lawyers. Although other texts cover a wide range of aspects of liability, only Cornes and Lupton’s Design Liability in Construction draws together all those matters that relate specifically to design. A number of factors have come together recently and are addressed in this significant update and rewrite of the 4th edition, including: popularity of design & build procurement partnering arrangements and early contractor involvement new standard forms of construction contract and appointment, and revisions to older forms technical innovations in construction collaborative working and BIM systems many well-publicised cases regarding design failures significant developments in the law of tort and professional liability the development of the single European market and increased provision of services overseas Together these factors create a new range of design liability issues which the construction professional has to face. Written for lawyers, architects, engineers, and contractors, the fifth edition of Design Liability in Construction will also serve as a useful text for masters level courses in engineering, surveying and construction law.

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.
