The 8^th Edition of the Articles and Conditions of Building Contract was published by the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) in 2008 and is the only standard form widely used in the traditional procurement of private sector projects.

Presented in simple and succinct language complemented with illustrated flowcharts, this second edition has been completely updated to incorporate recent developments in the law and the changes made in the main contract version of the latest 8^th Edition of the standard form. As a resource for the informed practitioner, a new section on Practice Notes under the relevant clauses has also been added.

The unique and refreshing approach in style and content in the way legal commentaries on each of the clauses are expounded in detail in the book has been retained together with process flowcharts and the check-list prompting the informed reader on the various administration forms that have to be issued. The book also includes a chapter comprising a compendium of administration templates complete with commentary notes and useful annotation on when it should be issued, how and by and to whom to guide the practitioners.

Essential for Architects, Engineers, Contractors, Developers, Project Administrators, Engineers, Surveyors & Valuers, Lawyers as well as anyone in the construction related industry.
