“This book has been written with a broad interest in the legal issues of buildings and the built environment. I was looking for a helpful and clear legal textbook that would best help me in the office, on site and to administer a project. After failing to find a suitable book, I decided to compile a guide of the most relevant legal issues of professional practice. It is acknowledged that the inclusion and exclusion of legal issues for architects is subjective. Given the limitation in size of the book, a careful balance has been sought between the range and depth of information an architect may need. This book does not attempt to give exhaustive analysis of the law and does not claim to be the basis of a single interpretation or an authority of the law. I have included references for those who wish to seek further information. However, anyone seeking legal advice should contact a solicitor or barrister. I have endeavoured to state the law as at 31st January 2011. The law generally covers England and Wales.”From Matthew Cousins – author of Architect’s Legal Pocket Book.
