The definitive practitioner's guide to construction drafting
Construction drafting is a central part of commercial property transactions, raising complex issues of law, interpretation and procedure. The key to addressing these issues lies in having rapid access to draft forms of agreement and specialist expertise based on a sound understanding of industry practice, case-law and current legislation.

Manual of Construction Agreements is a complete guide to all aspects of the relevant law and practice. Richard Cockram, one of the country's leading construction lawyers, provides detailed and authoritative commentary and a review of all standard form agreements relevant to the UK construction market. In addition there is an exhaustive suite of over 100 expertly drafted forms and precedents, together with comprehensive annotations.

Manual of Construction Agreements is regularly updated to keep you up-to-date with the latest changes in construction law and to ensure the precedent agreements reflect current best practice.

It comes complete with a CD-ROM containing the forms and precedents, allowing you to download the documents onto your PC and adapt them to your own needs.
