Fully updated, the 4th edition of Architects, Engineers and the Law offers a clear understanding of the legal aspects of day-to-day engineering and architectural practice.

It covers all that would seem to be in the horizon of professional practise.... All the great cases are there... What is excellent is the set out of all the types of contract that a builder can use and the explanation of variations, damages, tenders and construction management. Australian Building News
