Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This text covers the law governing construction contracts, and the management and administration of those contracts. Although the legal principles involved are an aspect of the general law of the contract, the practical and commercial complexities of the construction industry have increasingly made it a specialist area.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 406-409) and index.
