Architect's Legal Handbook

'The Architect's Legal Handbook' is already established as the standard textbook on law for architectural students and the most widely used reference on the law for architects in practice.

The architect today must have at least sufficient legal knowledge to identify the nature of any legal issue that may arise. This book provides architects with the legal grounding required.

The material is logically arranged in four main parts:

General Principles of Law

Building Contracts

Statutory Regulation

The Architect in Practice

The book has been comprehensively updated and this seventh edition now covers the entire United Kingdom. Richard McLaughlin QC has been included as Northern Ireland editor and Angus Stewart QC's role has been expanded to that of Scottish editor to portray Scottish variances in the law as it affects architects. A Scottish and a Northern Ireland postscript are included in relevant chapters whilst an 'Introduction to Northern Ireland Law' has been placed alongside existing introductions to Scots and English law. Other new chapters include 'Adjudication', 'Party Walls' and 'Payment Rules'.

This new edition is an essential purchase for all architectural students and professionals alike.

'The Architect's Legal Handbook' is already established as the standard textbook on law for architectural students and the most widely used reference on the law for architects in practice.
