Product description

Designed specifically for construction students and professionals, and written by a team of construction law experts, this book covers contract administration topics integral to all construction management-related degrees. It provides both students and professionals practising construction contract administration with the essential content and knowledge for effective contract management.

Clauses from five Australian standard forms of construction contract conditions along with relevant case law and legislation are reviewed and explained in a practical and accessible manner to give readers a full understanding of each topic. Tutorial and multiple-choice questions for students are included for each chapter, making the book a complete resource to support teaching and learning.

The second edition has been fully revised and updated with recent developments, including a new chapter on the construction project lifecycle and procurement methods, review of key provisions from the AS 4000-2025 and GC21 (Edition 2) General Conditions of Contract, and updates to case law and legislation including the recent amendments to the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2002 (Victoria).
