{"product_id":"9780415844222","title":"Successful Contract Administration","description":"Cost, schedule, and quality are needs reduced to words in the contract. Successful management of construction projects must begin by recognising how these objectives are influenced during the contracting phase, before continuing to collaborate effectively with the entire project team. In the hectic world of construction, reading and understanding the contract are only the beginning of effective contract administration. In this textbook, the reader researches the technical terms and conditions of contracts while simultaneously recognizing his or her own personal patterns of behaviour that are critical to moving the project forward efficiently. This unique approach leads the reader to understand their potential and influence in relation to contract provisions. Personal revision excercises,class discussion exercises, and online quizzes will help readers to stay on track whether they are learning at home or in the classroom. Drawing on real life examples, the author gives particular emphasis to the common causes of conflict in the chapter on \"killer clauses\". The three main sources of construction contracts in the USA --AIA, ConsensusDOCS, and Owner generated-- are examined with the help of online copies of the documents, and readers are instructed in how to develop best practices in dealing with the challenges of contract administration. With its straightforward user-friendly approach, this is an ideal text for students on civil engineering or construction management degree courses. 9780415844222 0415844223 0 BOOK Building NOT_MATURE http:\/\/books.google.com\/books\/content?id=bgzkmgEACAAJ\u0026amp;printsec=frontcover\u0026amp;img=1\u0026amp;zoom=5\u0026amp;source=gbs_api en\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eCharles W.
