While the extent of contractor-produced design can vary, this method of construction procurement affords the contractor a greater level of input and responsibility than traditionally procured contracts (where the employer has greater design responsibility). Over the last decade in the UK, it has become clear that D\u0026amp;B contracts are becoming the most popular method for procuring construction projects; often echoing the ways in which contracts for infrastructure and process plant can be procured. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhilst D\u0026amp;B can provide a greater degree of contractor input for producing feasibility and concept designs, then the detailed design to deliver a project, many clients amend standard forms of D\u0026amp;B contracts to alter the contractors' design input. This can significantly change D\u0026amp;B, deviating from the procedures set out in the standard forms of D\u0026amp;B contract. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book firstly takes the reader through each stage of a project (based upon the RIBA Plan of Work 2020) to provide guidance on how D\u0026amp;B contracts were intended to operate, then secondly, identifying how D\u0026amp;B contracts and their procedures have changed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders will find: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutline commentary and guidance on commonly used standard forms of D\u0026amp;B contract, including: JCT Design and Build 2016; FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Plant Design-Build 2017; and NEC4\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow each D\u0026amp;B contract is intended to operate during each stage of the RIBA Plan of Work 2020\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow the operation of D\u0026amp;B contracts and their procedures are often amended.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn ideal resource for contractors, employers, and consultants, as well as those studying construction at university, \u003ci\u003eDesign and Build Contracts\u003c\/i\u003e offers helpful commentary and guidance for how each stage of a D\u0026amp;B engineering or construction project should progress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Guy Higginbottom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1119814820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781119814825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley-Blackwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.94d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guy Higginbottom","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069904777471,"sku":"9781119814825","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c277d0af-389e-4666-bb72-f0cb8fe1c68f.jpg?v=1685427193","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/design-and-build-contracts-guy-higginbottom-9781119814825","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
