Abstract
Construction and development projects have become increasingly sophisticated in recent years and the associated documentation has become more complex. This article, from Damian McNair of Allen & Overy, examines some of the major contract issures which should concern a proprietor. It is not intended to be comprehensive, nor can it represent a substitute for proper legal advice. Nevertheless, it will provide, froma proprietor's point of view, some form of orientation to the prevalent issues in construction contracts generally.
