Cut through the legalese to truly understand construction
law
Smith, Currie & Hancock's Common Sense Construction
Law is a guide for non-lawyers, presenting a practical
introduction to the significant legal topics and questions
affecting the construction industry. Now in its fifth edition, this
useful guide has been updated to reflect the most current
developments in the field, with new information on Public Private
Partnerships, international construction projects, and more.
Readers will find full guidance toward the new forms being produced
by the AIA, AGC, and EJDC, including a full review, comparison to
the old forms, areas of concern, and advice for transitioning to
the new forms. The companion website features samples of these
documents for ease of reference, and end of chapter summaries and
checklists help readers make use of the concepts in practice. The
updated instructor support material includes scenario exercises,
sample curriculum, student problems, and notes highlighting the key
points student responses should contain.
Construction is one of the nation's single largest industries,
but its fractured nature and vast economic performance leave it
heavily dependent upon construction law for proper functioning.
This book is a plain-English guide to how state and federal law
affects the business, with practical advice on avoiding disputes
and liability.
Understand construction law without wading through legal
theory
Get information on an emerging method of funding large-scale
projects
Parse the complexities presented by international and overseas
projects
Migrate to the new AIA, AGC, and EJDC forms smoothly and
confidently
This book doesn't cover legal theory or serve as a lawyer's
guide to case law and commentary ? its strength is the clear,
unaffected common-sense approach that caters to the construction
professional's perspective. For a better understanding of
construction law, Smith, Currie & Hancock's Common Sense
Construction Law is an efficient reference.
