Language: English Series: Farm Buildings and Engineering ; 4(1) Spring-Summer 1987, 22-23(2)Publication details: 1987Subject(s): Summary: The agricultural construction industry and its clientele think and work very differently to the industrial and commercial sector. Only when a surveyor, architect or consultant is controlling a building scheme are comprehensive terms of sale arranged. About 80% of building schemes, however, are direct purchases by farmers from companies supplying buildings and ancillary works. There is a need to create a model set of contract conditions suitable to the rather special nature of agricultural buildings which would be acceptable to supplier and purchaser.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
