Sub-Contracts Dom/1 And Dom/2 - A Guide To Rights And Obligations

Over 60% - and in many parts of the country over 90% - of construction works is sub-let and by far majority is carried out by domestic sub-contractors appointed by the main contractor. Within the building industry, the most commonly used domestic sub-contracts are DOM/1, for use where the main contract is JCT 80, and DOM/2, for use where the main contract is the 1981 JCT Standard Form 'With Contractor's Design.
This book examines all of the clauses of DOM/1 and DOM/2 which are concerned with rights and obligations and provides, where appropriate, sound, clear advice as to how the sub-contractor should comply with the contractual requirements to obtain prompt payment and avoid disputes.
The author draws on his experiences in administering and settling sub-contract accounts gained over more than 30 years in the industry, working for many years as a quantity surveyor at a senior level with a major national contractor and, currently, as a contracts consultant in private practice.
This book will not only be an invaluable guide to all sub-contractors working under these forms but will also be of interest to main contractor's staff, claims consultants and students studying these forms.
