The area of construction law deals with matters such as infrastructure, housing, planning permissions and construction and engineering. The key to understanding construction law is that it has two main categories: non-contentious and contentious. Below is a brief overview of construction law and its branches.
Building noise regulations in the UK Construction work should be restricted to the following hours: Monday to Friday 8am – 6pm. Saturdays 8am – 1pm. Avoid noisy work on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
A rule of construction is used to interpret a document in order to determine how its provisions operate as a whole to bring about the purpose of those who drafted it.
At minimum you need to send a Letter Before Claim, and respond seriously to any offers the builder makes. (You will need to send an LBC before issuing a claim anyway.) But ideally you would make more of an effort to sort this out - and only if you fail, take court action.
What does Building Contract mean? The contract between an employer and a contractor for the carrying out and completion of building works. The building contract may be referred to as the main contract, particularly when sub-contractors are to be engaged.
What are the 3 types of contracts in construction? Construction contracts in the UK are usually in the form of standard forms, modified standard forms or bespoke contracts.
Broadly speaking, the JCT contract centres on liabilities and risk in the way a traditional contract would, whereas NEC commands and enables a proactive and collaborative approach to managing the contract. It is critical to understand the details of both contract types to assess their benefits and disadvantages.
