by Jonathan J. Sweet and Justin Sweet

Book Overview

Turn to the Fourth Edition of this highly acclaimed resource for comprehensive, up-to-date guidance on preparing, interpreting, and litigating contracts for design and construction services. As in the preceding editions, you get expert and detailed analysis on the meaning of AIA document language and other industry contract provisions; on modifying the AIA contracts without affecting their validity; and of more than 600 court decisions involving AIA documents. The authors review and analyze the four major, newly revised AIA documents that were released in November 1997: A201, B141, A101, and A401. They provide detailed explanations of the new provisions, expert analysis of how these provisions will affect contractual rights and obligations, and practical guidance on how to handle the changes. Plus, you get the most recent information on: scheduling, enforcement and conduct of arbitration proceedings; clauses limiting design professional liability; indemnity issues; payment and fee issues; use of a new form of liability insurance available to contractors, called a modified occurrence form (MOF); responsibility for job safety; and statutes of repose.
