Publisher's Synopsis
A basic text for sophomore/junior-level courses which deal with construction contract administration or professional practice (architecture, engineering, construction) overall and with construction in particular.
This unique introduction to contract administration is designed especially for those who need to understand the contract administration process overall (rather than the fine details) - and who have not yet developed a background of professional experience or insight. Using a "simplified" approach to a complex, evolving area, it provides an up-to-date overview of the entire process - including the general philosophy and rationale, and the roles, obligations, and responsibilities of all major participants in a construction project. Appropriate for all construction disciplines - e.g., architecture, engineering, construction management, construction - it focuses on those topics that cross several occupational lines and that are directly usable by any of the major project participants.
