Focuses on the important and still controversial question of the extent of a Design and Build Contractor's design obligation where following the design produces an inadequate outcome. Explores cases where the extent or level has not been clearly set out, sometimes with unexpected results. The projects covered are of varied scale, but all involve some allocation of design responsibility to the contractor and provide useful lessons for those involved in drafting tender packages.
