A Guide To Successful Construction

The secret to successful construction lies in the contract documents.

But negotiating and executing all aspects of your contractual relationships while protecting your interests is becoming increasingly difficult, especially when you're faced with today's complex projects, tighter delivery schedules and shrinking budgets.

That's why you need A Guide to Successful Construction, 4th Edition.  Fully revised from cover to cover, this amazing book carefully guides you through negotiations, setting fees, guarantees, progress payments, warranties, damages, bonus clauses, and much, much more.  Using the latest AIA contract documents as a guide, it clearly shows you:

• How to select the most suitable Project Delivery Systems.  Traditional?  Design Build?  CM?  Fast track?  Each option has both advantages and pitfalls.  You'll see which is best for you.
• How to make sure that bids and proposals fully cover all conditions, and how to make the decision whether to bid or not.
• What special considerations you should make if the owner insists on a bonded contract.
• Guidelines for pricing and billing change orders, and for preparing change order quotations.
• How to secure agreement on the date of substantial completion when liquidation damages for delayed completion or bonuses tied to early completion are involved.
• What a contractor must know before making a claim against an architect or an owner.

From the preconstruction jobsite conference, to arbitration of construction disputes, the new 4th edition of A Guide to Successful Construction covers it all.  It's like having your own contract administrator right by your side, guiding you every step of the way.
