Useful for practicing engineers
I found the book very well structured and easy to read. The author has done great job in describing the core principles and differences between various procurement methods and the most suitable fields of application. Being a structural engineer who is not constantly involved in drafting contracts, I find the book a very good source of reference.
I would definitely recommend it to any professional in the construction industry who may have any interest in procurement methods.
Good Book
An ideal book for beginners and experienced alike. Obviously focuses on the law from the construction side but it does explain the basic principles.
a hard read 
I bought this book to help me with the Architect's post-graduate professional course (RIBA Part3). The book is very thorough and describes numerous of contract types, issues, clauses and cases. It tries to have an overall view, a detailed view, and have a bit of an opinion as well. I found it remarquable by its scope, but a hard read, because sometimes the points made are not very clear, there are loads of contradictions, and the cases are a bit tortuous. It could be because of the obscure character of the law itself, but I found myself struggling through it.
An easy to understand law book!
I bought this book in advance of starting a construction law module for a masters course. I think its fair to say that it explained concepts and issues very clearly and proved to be a reliable, indispensable and comforting reference throughout the course. I would recommend it to anyone studying or in practice.
Excellent Book for the intermediate - advanced
I bought the previous version of this book based around JCT 80 forms (as well as ICE etc) as a student in 1998. I have since bought this version as a professional surveyor as it an invaluable reference.
Complicated issues explained well. Goes well with Understanding JCT Contracts for the more basic principles.
