Engineering Contracts: A Practical Guide (Mcgraw-Hill International Series in Civil Engineering)

The contract tender system is fundamental to the engineering industry, but newly qualified engineers, though well trained in design and construction have little or no training in documentation. Inadequate training in the field leads to difficulties and disputes, which could be avoided if care was taken during preparation of contract documents. This book will guide the engineer step-by-step through the entire proceedure, from the preparation of the invitation to tender, to the signing of the contract agreement.
