This guide to the RIBA Domestic Building Contract and the RIBA Concise Building Contract is the latest title from Sarah Lupton, best-selling author of contract guides.

It covers all aspects of the RIBA Building Contracts including the reasons for choosing these forms, the legislative background, and highlights the recent innovations in these new contracts from the RIBA.

Written in simple language to complement the RIBA Building Contracts, the guide assumes only general knowledge of both RIBA Building Contracts. A short list of further sources of information is given at the end of each chapter on subjects such as health and safety and so this guide can be used by both the architect and construction students on the threshold of undertaking their professional examinations. It also serves as an invaluable desktop reference guide for the busy contract administrator.
