Residential Construction Law
Autor Philip Britton, Matthew Bell, Deirdre Ní Fhloinn, Kim Vernauen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 feb 2027
'This new edition tells you all you need to know about how construction defects in homes occur, how they might be prevented, and how they might be cured.'
Her Honour Frances Kirkham CBE, Atkin Chambers
The first edition of Residential Construction Law in 2021 offered the only systematic and analytical overview of the legal framework for residential construction. Since then, there have been significant legislative and caselaw developments across the UK, Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and Ireland. In this second edition, the authors and their team of specialist contributors have completely revised the content, taking these changes into account.
This new edition refers to more than 350 new cases, along with ground-breaking reforms like the UK's Building Safety Act 2022 and lessons from the September 2024 Phase 2 report of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry. The book also anticipates planned reforms, including sweeping changes in several Australian states.
The revised edition retains the book's highly accessible structure and readability, making it an indispensable guide for lawyers, industry professionals and homeowners seeking to come to grips with the principles of residential construction law. It also provides an essential starting point for students and practitioners needing to understand the detail of this specialist area. It provides clear statements of the relevant law, explaining - aided by case studies, diagrams, text tables and a glossary - the law's intended policy outcomes and techniques. It also provides a critical view of areas where those goals have not been attained, requiring further reform.

Recenzii
Philip Britton and Matthew Bell have accumulated decades of research and teaching, culminating in this authoritative book... This book is powerful rebuttal to any denial that there is something wrong in this area, both in the UK and elsewhere.
A landmark book that will serve well the needs of anyone involved in this neglected area of law. The authors are to be congratulated on their fine achievement.
This is an immensely readable and authoritative text on residential construction law. It is extremely well written and has genuine inquiry and the desire to address the heart of the matter as its lodestone. The levels of analysis and the thorough way no stone is left unturned are a real credit ... A heady mix.
This book is an excellent analysis of residential construction law in a multitude of jurisdictions... I would recommend this as a very important and well researched analysis of the history of construction law, the current status of construction law and where it may be heading.
This much-needed and excellent book fills a real gap in the residential construction field. It is a practical, comprehensive guide, packed with highly authoritative analysis and all presented in a most readable form. One of the book's main strengths is that it takes a comparative approach, discussing problems and remedies in Ireland, New Zealand, the different states in Australia and in each of the three main jurisdictions within the UK.
It is a breath of fresh air to have a book devoted entirely to the oft neglected area of residential building... this book is a valuable resource for anyone involved in residential building work... Britton and Bell have [provided] the data and analysis that is the bedrock of any evidence-based reforms.
The book is a worthy addition to the library of all building lawyers and vital for all who teach building law. Those concerned with building law policy should, perhaps, sleep with a copy under their pillow.
