Throughout this series, Alice covers a range of adjudication in construction topics, from the very basics of construction contracts to the finer details of the adjudication in construction process and the usual outcomes.
In this, the second episode, Alice explores construction contracts and what exactly determines the validity of a construction contract, with a view to providing a detailed answer to a commonly asked question: do I have a construction contract?
The answer to this question is not always an easy one.
In 1998, the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (“the Construction Act”) introduced a statutory framework which changed the nature of contracts in the construction industry through the introduction of statutory implied terms regarding payment and adjudication.
This statutory framework applies to "construction contracts" only (as defined under the Construction Act).
In summary, a construction contract is defined by the Construction Act as a contract "for the carrying out of construction operations".
“Construction operations” includes the construction, alteration, repair, maintenance, extension, demolition or dismantling of buildings or structures "forming, or to form, part of the land", whether permanent or not and any works "forming, or to form, part of the land"
