<br/><br/> "Construction clients often amend standard form D&B contracts so that there is little or no design for the contractor to carry out. Amended this way, such contracts can transfer significant risk to a contractor. The aim of this book therefore is to provide guidance on the way D&B contracts are used in practice. The following current contracts will be covered: JCT DB (2016), FIDIC Yellow Book (2017) and NEC4 (2017). The book is not intended to be a clause-by-clause commentary on these contracts, rather it will take the reader through the relevant project stages (using the 2013 RIBA Plan of Work stages), and provide a commentary or guidance of how each D&B contract relates to each particular project stage"--
