Since | amecdients have been made to reflect the growth of experience and developments in construction 1a eee years there hasbeen an expansion of constuction throughout the world, uch of in hitherto areas. This bas involved a variety of nationalities of contracting companies and consultancies ‘nthe construction process, which in turn has created difficulties in the adminstration of contracts, Projects are becoming luger, reductions are sought in the pre-tender period: an inereasng sunt of eros, documents require bills of panies bat provide ‘ame vork within ater ae ‘prepared, nor 4 commonly agreed basis of measurement. 1a consequence, The Royal instinution of Chartered Surveyors appointed a coramitiee to prepate prin of mesndfernent suable br sc whore easing les re or where no rule eu Rawever, to permit their ‘use, the principles do require that a specification and tender drawings be ided. ‘The Institution recognises that citcunistances vary considerably from country to county” and contract to contract, and that the principles therefore need to be flexible to accommodate varvstions in practice and techniques. ‘The principles are kept under review and any comments should be sent to the Secretary-General of the RICS at 12 Great George Steet, Parliament Square, London SW1P 3AD. They are also published in French, German anc Arabic; and a Spanish edition will be available by the end of 1985, Lam grateful to Michael Rainbird FRICS, who co-ordinated the preparation of the principles, and to Alan ‘Charter FRICS, James Diebel FRICS, Derek Lawrence FRICS and Michael Pagulatos for having duced a document which the Insdution hopes will make a valuable contribution to the administration.
