Matthew Davies & Peter Barnes 
Subcontracting Under the JCT 2005 Forms 

This book – a companion to Peter Barnes’ book on the
sub-contract for the JCT 2005 Standard Building Contract, The
JCT 05 Standard Building Sub-Contract – covers the other
eight current JCT sub-contracts:

· the Design and Build Sub-Contract

· the Major Project Sub-Contract

· the Intermediate Sub-Contract

· the Intermediate Sub-Contract with sub-contractor’s
design

· the Intermediate Named Sub-Contract

· the Minor Works Sub-Contract with sub-contractor’s
design

· the Short Form of Sub-Contract

· the Sub-subcontract

Like the sub-contract for the JCT 2005 Standard Building
Contract, these forms are not well covered by other books on
building contracts, despite the importance of specialist
contractors and the size and value of their work.

This book considers a range of key issues, including questions
of time, variations, loss and expense, and payment, and examines
how these operate under the individual sub-contracts.

It will be of interest not only to sub-contractors and main
contractors, but also to construction professionals and
lawyers.
