Someone is usually to blame, either the builder or one or more of the professional consultants, or even the entire project team.

Written by a solicitor with over twenty years of experience of building disputes, this book examines the responsibilities and liabilities of the project team when defects occur. It sets out the background role of the common law and statute and includes detailed discussion of important case law affecting the construction process from inception through to completion, together with a consideration of the impact of letters of intent, no contract situations, and specific provisions of model conditions of contract.
