520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Examines the differences between US and UK construction law, and highlights the advantages and disadvantages of each system. Focuses on risk allocation for projects, payment for contractors, and how materials and equipment are dealt with. The USA provides better protection for contractors as most projects operate on a construction management basis, which means the element of risk resides with the employer. In addition, unpaid contractors and subcontractors can register statutory 'mechanics' lien' in respect to materials and equipment. However, UK contractors benefits from no enforced pay when paid clauses, despite the introduction of the Construction Act 1996.
