Courts and HSE make clients worry
Article Abstract:
The New Construction (Design and Management) Regulations make the client responsible for appointing a planning supervisor and contractor. The client will have to analyse the amount of the contractor's tender, estimate the time needed for project completion and consider health and safety measures. Failure to analyse tender allowances will be in breach of duty as shown in a recent case, General Building and Maintenance versus Greenwich London Borough Council.
