While the extent of contractor-produced design can vary, this method of construction procurement affords the contractor a greater level of input and responsibility than traditionally procured contracts (where the employer has greater design responsibility). Over the last decade in the UK, it has become clear that D\u0026amp;B contracts are becoming the most popular method for procuring construction projects; often echoing the ways in which contracts for infrastructure and process plant can be procured.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst D\u0026amp;B can provide a greater degree of contractor input for producing feasibility and concept designs, then the detailed design to deliver a project, many clients amend standard forms of D\u0026amp;B contracts to alter the contractors’ design input. This can significantly change D\u0026amp;B, deviating from the procedures set out in the standard forms of D\u0026amp;B contract.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book firstly takes the reader through each stage of a project (based upon the RIBA Plan of Work 2020) to provide guidance on how D\u0026amp;B contracts were intended to operate, then secondly, identifying how D\u0026amp;B contracts and their procedures have changed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaders will find: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutline commentary and guidance on commonly used standard forms of D\u0026amp;B contract, including: JCT Design and Build 2016; FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Plant Design-Build 2017; and NEC4\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow each D\u0026amp;B contract is intended to operate during each stage of the RIBA Plan of Work 2020\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow the operation of D\u0026amp;B contracts and their procedures are often amended.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn ideal resource for contractors, employers, and consultants, as well as those studying construction at university, \u003ci\u003eDesign and Build Contracts\u003c\/i\u003e offers helpful commentary and  guidance for how each stage of a D\u0026amp;B engineering or construction project should progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGuy Higginbottom\u003c\/b\u003e is an experienced consultant who has spent much of his career working in private practice, including as commercial director for a large, regional building contractor.
