Book excerpt: This exploration of the basics of contracts as applied to the construction industry focuses 1) upon the different types of contracts and their fundamentals as they apply to, and affect, owners, contractors, designers, subcontractors, suppliers, etc., 2) on the impact of information technology on contracts and contracting, and 3) on the effect of contracts on the management, administration, and the costs of construction work. Using the published standard forms of construction contracts as models and guides, it helps readers develop an understanding not only of the contract process in general, but also why one type of contract should be used rather than another in a given situation. The Nature of Contracts. Construction Contracts. Stipulated-Sum Contracts. Cost-Plus-Fee Contracts. Unit-Price Contracts. Contracts with Quantities. Subcontracts and Supply Contracts.

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 In view of the prefatory form of Chapter I, extended remarks are not desirable here. There are, however, a few points to which attention is directed. The author believes that it is better for the engineer to have even a Httle information than for him to be wholly uninformed upon legal matters. The author has been warned against leading the reader or student to infer that the services of legal counsel might easily be dispensed with. This result he especially disclaims, and he feels, moreover, that a candid scrutiny of his work will show that the aim has been to enable the engineer to cooperate efficiently with lawyers and to appreciate better the need for their services. Present Aim and Scope of Work. This book aims especially to familiarize the engineering student with the major principles of common lav 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 engineers 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. Reasons for Present Undertaking. The first reason is a belief that a considerable number of elementary legal principles should be stated in brief compass for class-room work. While of legal treatises there are a plenty, a text suitable for the special requirements of an engineering school does not exist, since this feature of class-room utihty precludes the more monumental works on engineering jurisprudence and allied subjects.

Download or read book Contracts for Construction and Engineering Projects written by Donald Charrett and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-12-22 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contracts for Construction and Engineering Projects provides unique and invaluable guidance on the role of contracts in construction and engineering projects. The work explores various aspects of the intersection of contracts and construction projects involving the work of engineers and other professionals engaged in construction, whether as project managers, designers, constructors, contract administrators, schedulers, claims consultants, forensic engineers or expert witnesses. Compiling papers written and edited by the author, refined and expanded with additional chapters in this new edition, this book draws together a lifetime of lessons learned in these fields and covers the topics a practising professional might encounter in construction and engineering projects, developed in bite-sized chunks. The chapters are divided into five key parts: 1. The engineer and the contract 2. The project and the contract 3. Avoidance and resolution of disputes 4. Forensic engineers and expert witnesses, and 5. International construction contracts. The inclusion of numerous case studies to illustrate the importance of getting the contract right before it is entered into – and the consequences that may ensue if this is not done – makes this book essential reading for professionals practising in any area of design, construction, contract administration, preparation of claims or expert evidence, as well as construction lawyers who interact with construction professionals.
Download or read book A Unified Approach to Contract Interpretation written by Ryan Catterwell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interpretation or construction is central to the operation of contract law. Despite the fundamental role it plays, there have been limited attempts to explain construction in holistic terms. This important book aims to fill that gap by offering a systematic exposition of the iterative process. It also goes further, suggesting practical solutions to disputes regarding questions of interpretation. The book argues that construction is not simply about establishing what words mean; it is a process through which objective intention is inferred from the choice of words in a contract. The interpretive process involves four steps: formulate the question of interpretation in dispute; explore competing answers to the question; analyse the admissible material supporting each interpretation; and weigh and balance the competing considerations. By so doing, the book offers a simple yet sophisticated framework for interpreting/constructing contracts.
