Book excerpt: The primary focus of this text is to provide a bridge for students between the academic world and the real world. This bridge is built through an understanding of what is law, how law is created, how law affects almost every activity of human conduct, and how legal institutions operate. Intended mainly for architectural and engineering students, but increasingly for those in business schools and law schools, this text features a clear, concise, and jargon-free presentation. It probes beneath the surface of legal rules and uncovers why these rules developed as they did, outlines arguments for and against these rules, and examines how they work in practice. Updated with the most recent developments in the legal aspects of architectural, engineering, and the construction processes, this text is also a valuable reference for practitioners that has been cited in over twenty-five court decisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2020 Construction Law Update provides current coverage of legal issues that have a practical impact on the day-to-day functioning of the very dynamic processes in a dynamic industry, that is, construction. Highlights of the 2020 update include: Five chapters take readers through notable cases throughout the past year in the various regions of the country including recent developments under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the False Claims Act (FCA), various federal regulations that potentially impact federal contractors, revised procedural rules in the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals, and recent Department of Justice Memoranda impacting claims under the FCA. This edition also addresses developments in employees' health and safety issues as well as construction law developments. Contracting with the federal government comes with its own set of pitfalls. This year's chapter is written by a former JAG officer who has worked for and dealt with the government procurement process for over 40 years. Chances are his insight will bring new perspectives to navigating the treacherous federal government waters. Space. The Final Construction Site. This supplement contains an interesting and unique chapter dealing with building the International Space Station. Not a typical construction site, but a crowded one with fourteen different nations participating in the build. Who will get to and build on the Moon and Mars first? How do you build in zero gravity? Arbitration is a viable and popular alternative to the court process. The more you know and the more you prepare in advance, the better the outcome. Not only is arbitration a preference domestically, but with our global economy, arbitration is also a popular international option. Labor and employment should always be at the forefront of everyone's mind when putting together a team for a project, managing that team, or being part of the team. This chapter covers authorization to work, employment relationships, pay, ADA, sexual harassment and retaliation. These issues are not just for the owners and executives. We all have an obligation to the environment, and there are a myriad of environmental issues facing the construction industry today. Owners and contractors not only have to know how to build, but also have to know where to build and what impact that build will have on air and water pollution, stormwater, wastewater, noise, habitat loss, and much more. Why should an owner have a Suspension of Work clause in their contracts? This Update offers practical recommendations on what actions contractors should take to protect the recovery of damages and why these actions may help owners resolve claims in the field rather than the court.

It provides an introduction—written in clear, reader-friendly language—to issues that arise at every stage in the practice of architecture. For architects starting or building their own practice: Why do I need a written agreement with my clients? Why do I need insurance? How do I organize my firm? For seasoned architects considering retirement: How do I transfer ownership in my company? How can I benefit from the good will I helped to build? For students who want to learn more about the practicalities of starting out: Why is it important to have a license? Isn’t it enough to have a degree in architecture? What are my rights as an employee? It also addresses the perennial questions that concern architects: How do I protect myself from being sued? How do I protect my intellectual property rights in my work? and much more. Law for Architects identifies the legal issues that lurk in every corner of your design practice and helps you figure out what questions you need to ask.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conditions of Contract for Construction – known universally as the Red Book – published by the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (known by its French acronym FIDIC) is the most widely used standard form of international construction contract. This book is a detailed commentary on the 2022 reprint of the 2017 FIDIC Red Book. For each of the Red Book’s 168 Sub-Clauses the commentary: identifies changes from the 1999 edition; analyses the meaning and significance of the Sub-Clause and lists related Sub-Clauses; describes related international arbitration awards, national court decisions and legal principles; and, where appropriate, proposes amendments to improve the Sub-Clause. As the FIDIC Yellow and Silver Books are very similar to the Red Book, much of the commentary is equally applicable to those forms of contract. The author is a FIDIC ‘insider’ having served for more than thirty years as Legal/Special Adviser to, or Member of, the FIDIC Contracts Committee which is responsible for preparing FIDIC’s contracts. This book is an indispensable resource for all parties called on to work with a FIDIC contract. With guidance for every stage of a construction project, whether in drafting, negotiating, performing, interpreting, or administering a FIDIC contract, the book’s easy-to-use structure includes such issues and topics as the following: introduction to FIDIC and its contracts and to publications of FIDIC and others relevant to the Red Book including the 2022 FIDIC Contracts Guide; critical examination of each Sub-Clause and advice for amending the same in order to better adapt it to the interests of each party (the Employer or the Contractor); special attention to each Sub-Clause relating to the Contractor’s and the Employer’s claims and claims procedure and to how to assert claims effectively, as well as to time bars and other pitfalls and how they may be overcome; detailed examination of Sub-Clauses relating to the referral of issues or disputes to the Dispute Avoidance/Adjudication Board and, if necessary, to international arbitration, and optimal strategies for doing so; discussion of the changes required to the 2017 Red Book by The World Bank’s Conditions of Particular Application (‘COPA’); reference, where appropriate, to the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts and trade usages; comprehensive discussion of practical issues that arise under common law, civil law and international legal principles, especially when a contract is with a state or public body; comparison of common law and civil law methods of contract interpretation and a suggested practical approach to interpretation given a FIDIC contract’s international arbitration clause; and overcoming problems that can arise when a contract is governed by the law of a less-developed country. Legal and technical terms are clearly defined, and numerous figures and tables are included to illustrate steps in contract procedures. Detailed attention is paid to terminological distinctions among the various legal traditions, including a comparison of British-English and American-English construction contract terms. Unquestionably the most detailed and thorough commentary ever published on the FIDIC Red Book, this highly practical work enables preparers of FIDIC contracts to amend and adapt the Red Book’s provisions to a particular project. Dispute adjudicators, arbitrators, and judges will welcome the book’s authoritative guidance on interpreting the provisions of a FIDIC contract, and engineers and other construction professionals involved in contract administration will appreciate the book’s many practical features.
