This book seeks to explain the background and various provisions of the PWD 203A and 203 forms of contract that are widely used for public sector construction and increasingly for private sector civil engineering construction as well. It provides a comprehensive and practical commentary, giving a clause-by-clause analysis of the contracts. The commentary concentrates on the interpretation of all the clauses, from both the legal and operational aspects. It also identifies pitfalls to be avoided.

The commentary contains references to relevant decided cases, local law and practice. Citation of cases is plentiful, including foreign cases of strong persuasive authority. The law stated in the book is as at August 2004 and includes the recent Court of Appeal decision in Thye Hin Enterprises Sdn Bhd v DaimlerChrysler Malaysia Sdn Bhd [2004] 5 AMR 562.

Written by an author who has training and wide experience in the fields of law, quantity surveying and arbitration, the book will serve as a useful reference handbook for those involved in the construction industry undertaking public sector work. It is also an invaluable guide to undergraduates involved in the building and engineering disciplines.
