Standard letters for building contractors

About this book

Whenever a contractor undertakes work using one of the standard building contracts, however small the job, he will be involved in writing a good many letters. Some will be formal notices he is required to give; others will be letters it is prudent to send. This book provides a set of over 270 standard letters for use with the standard forms of building contract and sub-contract and aims to cover all the common situations which contractors will encounter when involved in a contract. The letters are for use with: JCT 98 Design and Build Form WCD 98 Intermediate Form IFC 98 Minor Works Agreement MW 98 GC/Works/1 (1998) JCT Standard Form of Domestic Subcontract (2002) DOM/2 (1998) NSC/C (1998) NAM/SC (1998) GC/Works/SC (2000) The new edition takes account of substantial revisions to the standard forms of contract and introduces the new JCT Domestic Subcontract and the form of subcontract for use with GC/Works/1 (1998). New features include withholding notices and letters concerning adjudication. The book comes with a free CD, which includes all the letters, and which can be used with both Word and Word Perfect on PC and Macintosh machines.
