Guide to Surveying Contracts and Best Practices


surveying contracts guideDuring the latter part of the twentieth century developments in Information Technology and electronic communications have influenced many of the traditional procedures within the construction industry. Since 1996 there have been wide ranging changes in many of the standard forms of contract used in the construction industry as demonstrated by the JCT who have undertaken two major revisions of their contract documentation initially in 1998 and again in 2005. These changes have been incorporated in this fourth edition to ensure the book reflects current industry practice. The book has also been brought up to date with current legislation, for example the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act and the Enterprise Act. During the preparation of the previous editions the scope of the book had been gradually widened to encompass new and relevant areas of contract administration. Value Management has been added to this edition to complement the material from previous publications. As a result of this broader approach to contract administration we feel that this book will be of use to quantity surveyors, building surveyors and general practice surveyors and will also be useful to any professional engaged in the field of property or construction. The book provides a useful reference for degree students, graduates, practitioners engaged in all aspects of construction contracts, and candidates sitting membership examinations of the various construction industry professional associations.

How to Utilize Surveyor Forums

How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

All Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.
