Product Description

Synopsis
The first edition of Delay and Disruption in Construction Contracts was reviewed in CILL, June 1998, p1396. This book remains the most comprehensive English work dedicated to delay, disruption and related issues and remains the leader in its field. The second edition considers in detail the implications of recent cases such as Henry Boot Constructions (UK) Limited v Mal Maision Hotel (Manchester) Limited and Ascon Contracting Limited v Alfred McAlpine Construction (Isle of Man) Limited. Further, the second edition is significantly expanded with a number of additional chapters. Of particular interest and importance are the separate chapters on disruption and the use of computers for the presentation of claims. As with the first edition the second edition is highly recommended and essential reading for those dealing with contractual claims.

4.0 out of 5 stars The only definitive guide to this area of practice, 7 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This new edition of Keith Pickavance's ground-breaking work is a must-have if you operate in the area of forensic delay analysis. Although the update from the first edition is not seamless and although the book is heavy going in places, it is well worth a place on your bookshelf.

The book focuses on the extension of time provisions of the major forms of contract and also touches on the main project management software packages available, although this tends to make the book out of date in view of the way software is regularly updated by its authors.

In all though, I would recommend this as a purchase to those who have to make or break a delay or disruption claim.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wide ranging , but outdated and weak in key areas, 1 Jul 2004
By A Customer
A useful source of cases related to construction disputes but weak and sometimes confusing in the area where many potential buyers will expect clear guidance, namely delay analysis.

Four years on from publication, now requires a serious update to be useful guide to practitioners.
