Randolph Thomas, Ralph D. Ellis, JrReston, VA American Society of Civil Engineersc20071 online resource (470 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-7844-0921-8 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction; Basic Concepts; What Is a Contract?; Fundamental Principles; Types of Changes and Disputes; Notice Requirements; Extra Work and Oral Change Orders; Rules for Contract Interpretation; Differing Site Conditions; Misrepresentations; Defective Specifications; The No-Damages-For-Delay Clause; Substantial Completion; Liquidated Damages; Additional Exercises; Exercise Solutions; Back Matter; IndexEvery day, engineers and managers are called upon to understand and execute the terms of construction contracts. Often, these professionals have little or no legal training and find themselves relying upon intuition, common sense or hearsay—with possibly unfortunate and expensive results. In Interpreting Construction Contracts, Thomas and Ellis seek to rescue contractors, project managers, and contract administrators struggling to interpret construction contracts. Using rules set forth by the judiciary and drawing upon decades of legal research and practical experience, the authors discuss the most troublesome contract clauses and present rules to construe them so as to avoid disputes that must be resolved in court. Diagrams, case studies, and more than 70 discussion exercises and solutions are provided to reinforce the principles introduced in each chapter. As clear as it is pragmatic, Interpreting Construction Contracts is a welcome teaching resource and an essential reference for engineers and managers working in the construction industry.Construction contractsUnited StatesConstruction contractsUnited StatesInterpretation and constructionContractorsUnited StatesHandbooks, manuals, etcProject managersUnited StatesHandbooks, manuals, etcConstruction contractsConstruction contractsInterpretation and construction.ContractorsProject managers343Thomas H.
