Download or read book The New Engineering Contract written by Arthur McInnis and published by Thomas Telford. This book was released on 2001 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of the New Engineering Contract (NEC) encourages a systematic approach to contracting which is multidisciplinary in nature and fully interlocked in form. The NEC is intended by its supporters to be more flexible and easier to use than any current leading traditional standard forms of contract. It is believed that these features reduce adversariality and disputes. The NEC seeks to achieve this aim primarily through co-operative management techniques and incentives built into the NEC's procedures. This commentary analyses and evaluates these and related claims of innovation. The New Engineering Contract: A legal commentary examines the background to the NEC, its design objectives, structure, procedures and likely judicial interpretation to determine whether it improves upon the traditional standard forms of contract. Special attention is given in the commentary to the development and the significance of the principles underlying preparation of the NEC as well as the arguments in favour of and against them.Throughout the detailed commentary upon the NEC clauses comparisons to the traditional forms are also made to highlight unique features and principles of general application. The conclusion reached is that the NEC does make a significant contribution to the development of standard forms of contract, addresses many of their short comings and offers one of the best models for their future development, direction and design. The commentary draws upon the body of the project management literature and legal analysis to support its conclusions. The New Engineering Contract: A legal commentary will be essential reading for lawyers, barristers and solicitors, as well as engineers and project managers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Law and Business of Engineering and Contracting: With Numerous Forms and Blanks for Practical Use It is sincerely hoped that the discussion of the relation between the engineer and contractor in Chapter I will result, in many cases, in a better feeling between the engineer and the contractor as they may come together on contract work. The writer has made it a lifelong study to further the good feeling that should exist between them, but must confess to having made so little progress as to despair of seeing a better condi tion of affairs result. Yet the writer is convinced that by continually keeping at it, on the part of those having this matter at heart, much good will eventually come about. The subject of ordinary forms of contracts is one on which there has been much written, and is a subject on which the engineer should be well posted as to fundamentals. In addi tion to reading the standard works on the subject of contracts, it is very easy for each engineer to get together such standard forms as are valuable and file them in shape for handy refer ence. It is believed that the forms given herein will be found of much use to everyone as a basis for a larger collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Engineering Specifications and Contracts: Designed as a Text-Book and Work of Reference for All Who May, Be Engaged in the Theory or Practice of Engineering In preparing a piece of work for letting, the duties of the Engineer are manifold. He must first of all have a clear conception of the thing to be done, and must give graphical expression to this idea, both by drawings and writing. It then becomes necessary to inform himself as to the probable cost of the proposed work, and if within reasonable limits, and he desire to let it, he must next notify contractors, and others, by such public announcements as will reach the largest number of reliable parties. It is thus seen that the preparation of the drawings, estimates, specifications and advertisements are all. duties of the Engineer, which he has heretofore been allowed to learn as necessity required, and often on the spur of the moment. But his duties do not end here; to insure the rapid and faithful execution of the work, he generally prepares the form of bid, with certain "instructions to bidders," giving restrictions with which they must comply to render their bids valid, and finally, to adopt a form of agreement which shall be approved by both parties to the contract. The duties of the contractor are simply to examine drawings and specifications, or the site of the work, present his bid, and, if successful, sign the contract and furnish the required securities. The construction of the work is foreign to the object of this book. These six steps are developed more fully in the corresponding chapters which follow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contracts in Engineering: The Interpretation and Writing of Engineering-Commercial Agreements; An Elementary d104book for Students in Engineering, Engineers, Contractors and Business Men Present Aim and Scope of Work. This book aims especially to familiarize the engineering student with the major principles of common law relating to contracts, and touches other legal branches only incidentally and so far as will materially assist him to grasp the doctrines Of contract law applying to that subject. TO many engineers the only justification for this book may lie in an acceptable restatement Of the principles-underlying successful specification writing. The great importance of this field has been recognized, and fully a third Of the book devoted to it. But with the present commercial tendency Of engineering, it is believed that the contracts Of business demand the modern engineer's attention about equally with those Of engineering construction. About one-third of the book, therefore, deals with commercial contracts, while the balance deals with elementary principles common to all contracts, and the interrelations between contracts, torts, agency, and real property.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides comprehensive guidance for the implementation of the legal requirements of FIDIC contracts with a detailed application of modern project management principles. It demonstrates that the FIDIC suites for works and services contain many tools for good project management, which can complement the innovation needed today to guide sustainable development. The author’s experience in construction management, construction law, and the application of FIDIC contracts as a FIDIC engineer, a procurement/claims consultant, and a FIDIC accredited/certified adjudicator and trainer underpins this unique and much-needed book linking FIDIC contract management with project management practices and concepts. It is structured around project management knowledge areas, and details not only the FIDIC works contracts (Red/Yellow/Silver 2017 Reprint 2022, Emerald 2019, Gold 2008, and Green Book 2021) but also the project management requirements of the contract between the Employer and Engineer (White Book 2017) and the FIDIC supply-chain contracts, and explains how these all interface in project governance. Linking the project management knowledge areas from the PMBOK® and its Construction Extension with the FIDIC Body of Knowledge (FBOK), the book provides recommendations for integration of best practice and innovations. It illustrates these processes with 54 flowcharts and 16 case studies, as well as a railway scenario demonstrating the application of the book’s recommended procedures. This will be an invaluable source of practical guidance for employers, contractors, and engineers responsible for procuring and managing construction projects. It provides useful insight for technical, legal, and financial experts on the management of processes, contracts, and digital tools, with recommendations on how to tailor and use the FIDIC contracts for project success.
