Peter Barnes 
The JCT 05 Standard Building Sub-Contract 

Whilst there are a number of books on the main forms of building
contract, very few deal with subcontracting. This book examines the
new JCT Standard Building Sub-contracts for use with the radically
revised 2005 JCT Standard Building Contract.

It looks at the key contract conditions, considers the rights
and obligations of the parties and how risk is allocated, and
discusses the main practical problems that arise.
