520 _aConstruction Contract Claims, Changes, and Dispute Resolution is the go-to handbook for those involved in the prevention, preparation, management, and resolution of claims and change orders on construction projects. For more than 40 years, engineers, contractors, owners, and construction managers have turned to this practical guide and its straightforward, clear approach to solving challenges in construction claims and changes. Thoroughly revised and completely updated, this third edition adds the expertise of more than 30 attorneys and construction consultants who are recognized authorities in the field. Their contributions merge principles of construction law with practical advice. Topics include: identification and notification; differing site conditions; interpretation and requirements of contract specifications; records and documentation; project schedules and the critical path method; subcontractors and suppliers; pricing; negotiations; dispute avoidance, resolution, and alternative dispute resolution; and termination. Discussion of delays, time extensions, acceleration, and mitigation of project delays has been expanded to two chapters. New topics in this edition include impacts on labor productivity; bonds and liens; insurance issues, and alternative project delivery. The general guidelines and legal principles provided in this book were shaped by the outcome of federal and heavy construction cases and will prove invaluable to those in the private sector, local governments, and commercial construction.
