Explains that although cost issues are the most common form of dispute for construction projects, these disagreements can be avoided. Gives a brief overview of the general principles involved in negotiating and entering into building contracts prior to the start of construction. Suggests minimising potential for cost issue problems at the pre-contract stage by finalising the design as far as possible, costing that design, agreeing the timescale for building, settling the contract sum and apportioning the risks involved in construction. Lists actions recommended for preventing future problems.
