Too much obliged

By: Series: Building ; 265(8164) 1 December 2000, 60-61(2)Publication details: 2000Subject(s): Summary: Looks at the relationship between contractors and consultants especially where design and build forces contractors to rely more on their consultants than they would under a traditional contract. This means that if contractors suffer from any setback or loss, they may seek to recoup the loss from their consultants. The article lists the areas in which consultants appointed by design and build contractors may have greater liability than if they had been engaged directly by the employer and briefly looks at how liability can be limited through contracts and collateral warranties.
