Contractors must protect themselves and their companies at each critical stage of a construction project. This much-needed guide shows how to avoid lawsuits and other problems by explaining exactly what the architect's and contractor's roles are during the construction phase of a project - as well as the responsibilities of owners, developers, and construction attorneys. Another valuable feature of this book is the detailed explanation of the new AIA Forms. Written by a professional, Arthur F. O'Leary, FAIA, this is a complete book for the professional architect, engineer, lawyer, contractor, and facility manager. pp. 476
