This guide covers the entire contract process, from the selection of contractors to the end of the job, and provides advice on contract wording, payments, claims, change orders and bid evaluation. It also addresses common risks and features checklists designed to document proceedings.

This Second Edition focuses on the commercial issues of contracting, covering the lifespan of a contract in four stages: inception of need, bid and award, administration, termination. Written from the owners' perspective, it is appropriate for construction managers and contract administrators. New material includes the effects of the computer on construction management practices, the risks and rewards of cross-border contracts and the role of the lawyer.
