The Joint Contracts Tribunal<\/a> (JCT) has produced standard forms of construction contracts, guidance notes and other standardised documentation for the industry since 1931. Today, it provides a larger and more comprehensive range of contract documentation than any other body of its kind in the UK<\/h2>\n

In this latest ebook, Joint Contracts Tribunal experts look at some of the key issues in construction, from sustainability and the changes being brought about by digital technology to contract law<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Richard Saxon CBE asks if, in the light of Extinction Rebellion protests and growing concerns about the climate emergency, a truly sustainable built environment is possible.<\/p>\n

The cover article looks at the 2019 JCT Povey Lecture by Professor Alan Pen, entitled Our Digital Future: Space and Place in a Digital World, which was delivered at the Local Government Association in November.<\/p>\n

Professor Pen, who is professor of architectural and urban computing at the Bartlett School of Architecture at UCL<\/a> and chief scientific adviser to the Ministry for Communities, Homes & Local Government, discussed the rapid development of technologies such as the IoT, robotics and biometrics, and the opportunities and challenges they present in shaping place.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Peter Hibberd looks at the recent Court of Appeals case of Mears v Costplan Services, which has raised questions about the complex issue of whether contracts<\/a> should precisely define what constitutes practical completion.<\/p>\n

Finally, Richard Young, senior director at the CBRE, looks at how the construction industry can bridge the technology gap \u2013 and where JCT contracts fit into this changing landscape.<\/p>\n
