Should be called "Dummies Guide to Construction Law"
I returned this book. I found that it was over simplified and pictorial. It was much like an illustrated dictionary without the detail. I was looking for more of a professional reference for contractors that would be more specific and detailed without being overloaded with legalese. This book was just too simplified to be useful.

A VERY simplified look at the construction law theme
This book offers good one liner explanations as well as simple examples on several topics dealing with construction. Irecomend it as a starting point but not as a refernce book dealing with the construction law topic. ... Read more

Must Buy for Construction Professionals
The book is an elegant complilation of real world design and construction case law. It is concise, cogent and well presented.
Although it should be referenced in the case one is involved in litigation, it's true value is as a prerequisite primer prior to underatking any new design or construction project.

Construction Law Book Review
Kent,
I have found the reference to be a valuable source of information on a broad range of problematic construction topics.The articles include abstracts of issues brought before Triers of Fact, providing both the issue basis and the decisions of contentious contract disputes.A helpful source for those desiring an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of issues before them.Thanks for your great work.

This book is an excellent resource for any one who is in Construction or deals with Contractors.If you need to know a specific point, the concise but well reasoned sections provide you an answer. Also, if you want an overview of Construction Risk, the book as a whole can do that.
This book should be utilized by Contractors, Insurance Brokers and Carriers and Attorneys.I have been a Contractor, Broker and Attorney and find it useful.I have used it as a resource and a way to review this arena.Take this book to lunch and read a few sections at a time.

compilation
True to the preface, this books compiles cases of law in construction, organizes them in a very useful index to subjects and table of contents for reference.The cases have been prepared by a large group of experts in the industry.

Good Solid Advice
This book is well written, making it a pleasure to read. In addition, the author has provided case references so additional details can be readily obtained if needed (plus it makes everything read with more credibility). I find the practical advise at the end of each article to be very useful and good solid advice. Since purchasing the book just a few weeks ago, two sections have proved to be immediately beneficial: Section 24 on Surety and Section 19 on Site Safety Risk and Responsibility. ... Read more
