Each project has its own unique physical and commercial considerations. Since there’s no such thing as a “standard” or “typical” construction project, construction contracts should also not be considered standard. The contractor must carefully manage both in order to have a successful outcome and protect the company’s interests and assets. This book will help you manage all these elements of the contract: Scope of work and schedule Terms of payment and cash flow Assurances of performance Insurance, bonding, indemnity, and warranties Changes to the contract Disputes and their resolution Damages Termination and suspension Force majeure International contracting Review: Excellent Purchase - Well written on construction contracts by a seasoned Contract Negotiator.

Also a side note, although risks were presented and recommendations were made (and it's good practice to know what your risks are) there are times where you would have to assume some risk in order to get a job. Otherwise, in this competitive industry Owners will move on to the next contractor who will want to assume the risk. As an example, providing Additional Insured Endorsements and Waiver of Subrogation endorsements on Liability insurance. Yes, it's risky but that's part of the "standard" in this industry to provide it. And the author addressed "standard" reference.
