An Archaeological Investigation is usually undertaken to provide information: - In response to a proposed development which could cause damage to archaeological remains. - As part of the planning process (within the framework of appropriate national planning policy guidance notes) and/or development plan policy. - As part of an Environmental Impact Assessment. - Inconnection with management plans and mitigation strategies of private, local and national or international bodies. - Outside the planning process (e.g infrastructure projects, ecclesiastical developemtn, coastal erosion, agriculture, forestry and countryside management, works by public utilities and statutory undertakers) Where the Investigation finds Archaeological Remains they are recorded, analysed and interpreted and the findings disseminated as appropriate. These Conditions of Contract, the first of its kind, regulate the business relationship between the Employer and the specialist Archaeological Contractor during the course of an Arcaeological Investigation. The Contract retains a pattern traditional in civil engineering contracts, with an investigation commissioned by an Employer (Landowners, developers etc.), designed or approved by an Engineer and carried out by a specialist Archaeological Contractor, only that the term 'Consultant' is used instead of 'Engineer'. Its advantages include: - Providing parties to the Contract with and "advanced warning" of circumstances that may give rise to additional costs or delay or which may warrant a significant change tothe scope of the Investigation. - Enabling the niminisation of additional cost and/or delay as well as potential for dispute. - Minimising the incidence of disputes and resolving those that may arise in aspeedy and non-confrontational manner. On that basis that many archaeological contracts will fall within the provisions of Part 2 of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, this Contract has been drafted to comply with the legislation with the intention that the variouw Statutory 'Schemes for Construction Contracts' should not apply.

This publication provides guidance to the ICE Conditions of Contract Target Cost Version, First edition which encourages active collaboration to reduce costs by sharing expertise and jointly managing risks in an open working environment, within the framework of the ICE Conditions of Contract family. It encourages the Contractor to be more closely involved in aspects of design, provides for payment to the Contractor on a cost reimbursable basis and an incentive share arrangement if the costs differ from the target. A more open style of control and management, which permits an early and joint approach to the identification and management of risks, obliges parties to recognise and understand each other's objectives and promotes closer working relationships.

Helps towards delivering construction projects on time by enabling better client-contractor communication. This publication will help towards delivering construction projects on time by enabling better client-contractor communication. The new contract allows the employer, usually with the assistance of the contractor, to set a clear target for the cost of the civil engineering works to be carried out, in order to avoid projects overrunning on cost and deadline. ICE's latest contract also encourages the contractor to be more closely involved in the project at an early stage, such as project design, and provides an incentive for the employer and contractor to share profit or loss if the costs differ from the original estimation.To utilise the Target Cost Version effectively, a more open style of control and management is required which will permit an early and joint approach to the identification and management of risks. This is intended to lead to better channels of communication at an early stage between client and contractor. The Target Cost version - the latest member of the ICE Conditions of Contract family - has been produced due to industry demand.

As an industrial process, construction is unique. The procurement processes used to achieve the successful completion of built assets requires a different approach to that adopted in most other industries, due to the design of buildings being bespoke and the sites being geographically varied. The procurement process is central to the success of any construction project and many of the problems which impact construction projects can be traced back to the procurement phase, so a good understanding of the methods of procurement, the development of a procurement strategy and the influence it has on project success is essential for all those working in the industry. Much has changed in the global construction industry since publication of the second edition of Building Procurement, for example the increase in debt burden of many major economies, widespread adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) Technology in the industry and the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union. This new edition has been rewritten to take account of these significant developments, but at its core it continues to provide a critical examination and review of current procurement practices in the UK, continental Europe (including EU procurement procedures), China, Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa and the USA. It retains its original strong emphasis on the need for clients to establish achievable objectives which reflect the project business case and focuses on development of suitable strategies and management structures to meet those objectives in the current construction climate. Building Procurement will be essential reading for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students of construction management and practitioners working in all areas of construction management.
