Architect's Essentials of Contract Negotiation (The Architect's Essentials of Professional Practice)
"We would not suggest that Ava change a single word of the text. Instead, we invite her to write an engineers' edition, a contractors' edition, and an owners' edition. We do not think it will be necessary for Ava to draft a separate lawyers edition. Even experience construction lawyers can learn about communicating and negotiating with and for their clients just by reading The Architect's Essentials of Contract Negotiation." (Construction Lawyer, May 02)Every construction law library should have this book in its arsenal. Ava provides valuable insight into the elements of successful negotiations. It is easy to read and follow, yet offers so much to anyone involved in a construction practice. Although the title of Ava Abramowitz's book would lead one to believe that it was written exclusively for architects, that would be a wrong conclusion. If you are an owner, a contractor, an engineer, a project manager, an acquisition specialist, a lwawyer, or involved in almost any other activity pertaining to development or construction you can get valuable insights from this book written by a world-class negotiator and teacher. (C. Allen Gibson, Jr., Buist, Moore, Smythe & McGee, PA)"After reading Architect's Essentials of Contract Negotiation, I now realize that my extensive library was lacking." (AeproNet, April 2003)
