The construction contracts book: how to find common ground in negotiating the 2007 industry form contract documents
313 pages. Updated by new edition.
This resource explains the various model forms and agreements promulgated by the Institute of Architects (AIA), Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC), and ConsensusDOCS, which replaces many of the forms previously issued by the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC). It provides proposed alternative language for situations where the form contract approach may not provide the best solution as well as a chart comparing the most significant provisions from each of these forms in a side-by-side comparison.
