Smith, Currie and Hancock’s Common Sense Construction Law: A Practical Guide for the Construction Professional

The book is a practical introduction to the significant legal topics and questions affecting construction industry professionals, whether they work for general contractors, subcontractors, owners, or surety bond agents.  It’s not intended to cover legal theory or serve as a lawyers guide to case law and commentary.  The book’s strength has always been its “common-sense” approach, clear, unaffected writing and focus on writing for construction professionals rather than lawyers. The new edition will feature a new chapter on Public-Private Partnerships (P3), an emerging solution for financing large-scale projects that, as well as a new chapter on international construction projects as American firms continue to pursue work overseas. Tom Kelleher and his colleagues will thoroughly review the new agreements produced by AIA, AGC, EJCDC, and other, and offer advice for migrating to the new forms, identify similarities between the old forms and the new, and highlight any issues or areas of concern in the new agreements.  Samples of documents will be provided on an accompanying website for ease of reference.Additional ISBNs: 1118858093, 1118858158, 132233482X, 9781118858097, 9781118858158, 9781322334820Smith, Currie and Hancock’s Common Sense Construction Law: A Practical Guide for the Construction Professional 5th Edition is written by Thomas J.
