The Engineer to the Contract: How the role evolved and the part played in dispute resolution

This paper  covers the emergence of the ‘civil engineer’; the role of the administrator to the contract, and how the common law shaped the dual roles of the Engineer to the Contract so well known today. It will then consider by reference to common standard form contracts what the Engineer plays in the resolution of disputes.
