The success of every construction project begins with reading and understanding the contract.

Written in a clear and accessible way from a Constructor's perspective, Successful Contract Administration guides the student through the critical issues of understanding contract law and obligations for effective project execution. Through examples, exercises, and case studies, this textbook will:

Improve knowledge and comprehension of key contract elements

Help the student apply knowledge to real case scenarios

Improve the student's ability to analyze and create different scenarios for success

Evaluate critical issues of responsibility and ethics in relation to contract administration.
