ABSTRACT

This chapter covers only the general principles of subcontract documentation, highlighting those special characteristics affecting landscape subcontracts. (For detailed consideration of building contracts and subcontracts see The Standard Form of Building Contract by John Parris, and Building Subcontract Forms by Dennis F.Turner.)

If landscape projects can be carried out under the direction of a landscape architect as a direct contract such as that envisaged by the JCLI conditions between the employer and the landscape contractor this is sometimes in the best interests of all concerned.
