The Red Book: Form of Contract, Lump Sum Contracts - IChemE

The Red Book, which is part of the IChemE Forms of Contract suite, has been the subject of a detailed review. This new edition takes into account users` experiences and the latest thinking in project execution. The impact of recent legislation is also covered. The guidance section is now separated into two parts with Section 1 providing specific guidance on completing the Contract Agreement, its annex, the specification and schedules which themselves have been increased in number, and Section 2 the guidance notes, discussing general issues to aid understanding, highlighting areas where special conditions may need to be written for the users' requirements.
