    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    In Construction Contracts, 2nd Edition, the most important aspects of contract administration are detailed and critical issues are supported with case/legal principles.



    This book was written to serve as a learning tool and a reference guide. The fundamentals of contract law are presented, along with an in-depth treatment of the construction topics which most frequently result in litigation. In addition, an overview is provided of other important construction-related topics, including the procurement process for construction contract, methods of dispute resolution, surety bonds, construction insurance, construction safety, and construction labor laws. The second edition incorporates some of the changes that have occurred during the past decade.



    In comparison with other books on contract, two distinguishing features of this text should become apparent. First, this text includes summaries of a large number of legal cases involving construction and discusses many topics that are germane to contract disputes. Well over 100 cases are described to help illustrate key points.

    The second feature not found in most texts is that many contract provisions are isolated for the reader. These provisions help the reader recognize the importance of the particular wording that is used in contract documents. Some of these provisions are presented to illustrate provisions that are in common usage, while others are presented to show exceptional provisions, particularly those that shift responsibility or risk.



    The focus of this title is legal issues in construction but

    it is not written from the point of view of an attorney. Many actual cases are described that help develop the points made in the chapters. The organization of the subject matter is excellent. After using this text, students have a very good understanding of the role of the judiciary in the construction industry.



    Most modern construction engineering professionals' lives will be governed by contracts, and the precepts covered in this text are essential for existing in today's society.
