“Lupton’s Guide to SBC05 is a straightforward and comprehensive analysis of the new form in the light of today’s legal and practice landscape.”
Professor Peter Hibberd
Secretary-General, The Joint Contracts Tribunal

Guide to SBC05 acts as a working aid to the operation and administration of the JCT Standard Form of Building Contract (SBC05) which replaces the former JCT98.

It points out the important new changes to the contract itself by reflecting on up-to-date cases which serve as valuable lessons to the unwary. The contract’s provisions, procedures and supplementary conditions are organised and defined by subject together with useful indexes and a clause comparison table, thus providing the hard pressed practitioner with a comprehensive and concise reference guide for specific guidance during the course of the job.

This guide assumes only a general knowledge of JCT Standard Building Contract and so can be used by both the architect and other construction students on the threshold of undertaking their professional examinations. It will also serve as an invaluable desktop reference guide for the busy contract administrator.
