Design Contribution to Healthand Safety ManagementStuart Summerhayes

Construction is one of the worst industries in theUK for its health and safety record and,despiteregular drives from the Government's Health andSafety Executive (HSE),the number of deaths andinjuries on site remain unacceptably high.

The HSE have been targeting contractors fromsome years but they are now turning their attentionto designers who also have a responsibility to ensurethat their designs take account of health andsafety,whether it is during the construction processor later at the maintenance stage.

This new publication will give guidance toconstruction practitioners with a designresponsibility on how to identify and manage healthand safety risks,and on the design strategies to befollowed.It will include a number of case studies andcourt cases and enquiries as examples.

JCT 05 StandardBuilding Sub-contractPeter Barnes

Whilst there are a number of books on the mainforms of building contract, very few deal withsubcontracting. This book examines the new JCTStandard Building Sub-contracts for use with theradically revised 2005 JCT Standard BuildingContract.

It looks at the key contract conditions, considers therights and obligations of the parties and how risk isallocated, and discusses the main practical problemsthat arise.


Defective ConstructionWorkKevin Barrett

Defective construction work – whether it isinadequate design or faulty workmanship, or acombination of the two – is a frequent cause oflitigation or arbitration. It can involve not only theclient, designer (architect or engineer) andcontractor, but also on occasions the developer andhis tenants, who will not be contractually linked tothe designer or contractor. The situation is thereforefrequently complicated. This book will examine therights and obligations of all parties, and will includeimportant recent case law and new statutoryprovisions, the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties )Act 1999.

The NECand JCTContractsComparedDeborah Brown

Most building clients and theiradvisors are familiar with JCTContracts and the standard method of procuringtraditional building work. The NEC form offerssome radical new concepts and methods ofprocurement, and this book has therefore beenwritten to explain the NEC by comparing it to theJCT Standard Form by highlighting the similaritiesand differences using a topic based approach.

It explains the key differences between the NEC andJCT forms of contract in a highly practical mannerand will aid familiarity with the NEC for clientsand practitioners new to the form. It relatesestablished case law to the NEC to provide areasoned analysis of the terms.


The FIDIC Form ofContractThird Edition

Nael Bunni

‘The great merit of this bookis that [it] assimilates thecomplexities of the formand focuses upon the practicalities.’Arbitration

In 1999 FIDIC introduced a new ‘Red Book’ forinternational civil engineering and large buildingprojects, together with new Yellow, Silver and Greenforms of contract for other types of project.However, the previous edition of the Red Book (thefourth edition) continues to be widely used and itseems likely that the 1999 edition will not replace itin the medium term, at least in certain parts of theworld.

This important work therefore continues to bebased on the fourth edition of the Red Book andconsiders the many developments affecting thefourth edition that have taken place since 1997,when the second edition of this book was published,and relates them to key contracting issues. It alsoincludes an important new section considering the1999 Red, Yellow, Silver and Green forms and howthey interact with the previous form.

‘Drawing on his long andpractical experience [theauthor gives] guidancewhich only the foolhardywould reject without goodreason for doing so. Withthis manual beside him, many anarbitrator will, I feel sure, sleep thesounder.’ The Rt Hon The LordBingham of Cornhill

“well written and enjoyable toread.” Journal of PropertyInvestment and Finance

The economic literature relating tothe supply of land is drawn together here.The book coversthe supply of land for urban development and shows howland has characteristics which differentiate it from otherfactors of production which will also affect its supply forsome uses, e.g. land is fixed in location and its price andvalue are inseparable from where it is.

New light is cast on the market for land (by concentratingon the supply side), and on land use planning (by taking aneconomic viewpoint).

• Comprehensive discussion

• Accessible style - use of anecdotal evidence bring thearguments alive

• Draws together author's previous publications andthose of others into a cohesive narrative.

International RealEstateAn InstitutionalApproachEdited by William Seabrooke,Paul Kent and Hebe Hwee-Hong How

‘an important and veryvaluable contribution … truly inspiring. It can,without doubt, serve most participants ofinternational real estate markets as a guide or‘handbook’ for carrying out or advising on realestate investments in foreign marketenvironments.’ Building Research & Information

This book takes an explicitly international perspective tothe decision-making process leading to final ‘accept’ or‘reject’ investment decisions. It will be the first to adopt aninstitutional approach that directly addresses the problemsof how to identify and avoid the main pitfalls of cross-border investment in real estate. The key to understandinginternational real estate comes from understanding theimpact on investment and management decisions ofdifferences in the formal and informal ‘rules of the game’.This book defines the key feature of international real estateas the institutions that frame, facilitate or impedeinvestment in land and buildings across nationalboundaries.

EvaluatingSustainableDevelopmentIn the BuiltEnvironment

Peter Brandon andPatrizia Lombardi

Sustainable development has been characterised byan emphasis on environmental issues and an ad hocapproach to structuring the subject which hindersthe development of knowledge in a systematic way.The built environment contributes significantly tothe environment but is also one of the major factorsin determining whether a community is sustainablein the longer terms.

A structure is required which aids definition,provides a common set of values, establishesmeasurement methods to define progress, andsuggests a management system and decisionprotocol which enables practitioners to engage anduse the resultant structures and information.

This book provides a suggested structure in whichall aspects of sustainable development can beincluded together with a set of evaluationtechniques which can be used within the structureto provide assistance to decision making.

The Design Quality ManualA Guide to Improving BuildingPerformance

Martin Cook

Design quality often seems intangible as it representsa melding of the art and science of architecture.Clients invariably use the criteria of time, cost, andquality as a strategic framework for their buildingprojects – they tend to want the highest quality inthe shortest time and at the lowest cost.

The Building Research Establishment’s DesignQuality Method rates buildings against subjective(e.g. external appearance) and more objective (e.g.accoustics) performance by using a rating matrix.

Five defined levels of quality cover the key areas ofdesign and quality - architecture; environmentalservices; user comfort conditions; whole life costing;and detailed design. These can be scored by a visualsurvey and professional judgement then augmentedby scientific measurement where possible (e.g.temperature, lighting and sound levels). Theresultant scores allow comparisons in terms ofoverall and specific aspects of design quality.

“easy to read and concise with adequatesupporting documentation wherever necessary”Journal of Structural Engineering

Whilst there are now more than 100,000 km ofsubsea pipelines installed worldwide, there is asurprising shortage of publications covering theentire process of marine pipeline design andinstallation, from project planning through tosystem operation.

This book is intended to fill that gap and tocomplement design guidelines laid down in nationaland international codes.

It provides a comprehensive overview of designmethods, addressing system layout determination,wall thickness design, route selection, fabrication,installation and tie-in methods, and pre-commissioning methodologies. The scope includesdeep water as well as shallow water installations,with the main emphasis on hydrocarbons (oil, gas ormulti-phase) though other media such as water,slurry and carbon dioxide are also covered. Itconcentrates on pressure containment steelpipelines, including flexible lines.

The book is aimed primarily at engineers new to thesubject of marine pipelines, but will also supplybackground reading for students of offshoreengineering and for experienced pipeline engineersneeding a quick reference.
