Development and the Law

A gap has long existed between construction professionals, such as architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, mechanical and electrical engineers, and environmental consultants, and the property development process. The underlying development structures, expressed in terms of legal obligation and accountability, are all too little understood. This practical guide by a highly experienced lawyer identifies the role of the professional in its wider context, and looks beyond the relationship with the immediate employer. This encourages appreciation of the concerns and interests of people such as joint venture partners, bankers, investors, landowners with an interest in the built outcome, and tenants. The development professional needs to understand the pattern or web of relationships between a variety of principals, both in terms of contractual obligation and duty of care. A grasp of the wider scene is often curiously absent. Godfrey Bruce-Radcliffa is a partner in Thomas Eggar, specialising in the development of commercial property. He is a familiar conference speaker and has written a number of books on property development. Book jacket.
