The text boldly attempts to cover most of the important areas of construction contracting law in scholarly yet practical terms. It includes discussion of contract formation, the problems and issues arising during contract performance, remedy-granting clauses, and payment and discharge of contract obligations. Individual chapters address award controversies and the disputes process, alternative means of dispute resolution, architect-engineer liability, and labor relations. The principles of cost recovery and the subjects of bonds and insurance also receive individual treatment.
