LIST OF SCALA PUBLICATIONS AND ORDER FORM:

RED BOOK FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF CONSULTANTS DOCUMENT: 

This model form of agreement in digital format for ease of use is a step by step guide to commissioning architects, quantity surveyors, service engineers, structural engineers, building  surveyors, CDM co-ordinators and project managers. Written primarily for local authorities undertaking construction and maintenance works it is also frequently used by the private sector. Designed to complement the JCT range of contracts it can be amended to suit the needs of other forms of procurement such as partnering or prime contracting. For more complex projects an option provides for incorporation of the CIC Services Tables, from the CIC Consultant’s Contract. The extensively revised 2008 edition reflects current industry payment practices, in the context of the Housing Grants Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (the Construction Act). It makes provision for Key Result Areas (KRA’s), to enable payment to be linked to performance. In respect of the adjudication provisions of the Construction Act, the agreement adopts the provisions of the Scheme for Construction Contracts as the rules for adjudication as the simplest way of ensuring compliance with the Act. To further reflect current practice, third party rights are addressed and net contribution clauses provided for. Text boxes are provided throughout the form to enable signatories and others to complete the document on-line.
