Sub-contracting is a necessary and important part of the construction industry. While sub-contracts are entered into ever so often, there remains a dearth of local legal literature on the issues arising in sub-contracts. Standard Form of Sub-Contracts - An Annotation will fill this lacuna.

The Articles and Conditions of Building Contract published by the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) standard form is widely used in the private sector on a variety of traditionally procured and successfully completed projects.

The book includes a review of the principles arising from the design and build model and a chronology of the development of this construction procurement model in Singapore.
