Description: "The first edition of this book was published ten years ago to create a useful resource for the construction industry by assisting professors in familiarizing students with the principles of construction law. As the editors started work on the second edition, we wanted not only to update the book, but to improve it as well. While the overall organization of the book remains the same, we made some changes that should make the book easier to use. As was the case in the first edition of this book, many of the discussions in the text and the questions at the end of each chapter focus on typical small commercial construction projects and the American Institute of Architects forms of agreement that are widely used on such projects. This is consistent with our intent to familiarize readers with a wide range of issues that arise on most construction projects"--
