45 Chapter 14 This chapter blends business and legal considerations. Depending on the level of the student, it may cover already–familiar topics. Nonetheless, by addressing the business concerns underlying different project delivery methods, as well as organizational and legal complications […]
Civil Engineering Chapter 15 Some Construction Law Textbooks For Engineering Students Not Devote Separate
49 Chapter 15 Some construction law textbooks for engineering students do not devote a separate chapter to public contracts. Given the large amount of public works that takes place on the federal, state and local levels, we believe this topic […]

Civil Engineering Chapter 18 The Need For Changes And The Frequently Complex Contract Methods For
61 Chapter 18 The need for changes and the frequently complex contract methods for implementing them in construction contracts is an essential attribute of the construction contract. As future construction managers, engineers, and participants in the construction industry, it is […]
Civil Engineering Chapter 19 The Legal Backdrop Discussion Subsurface Conditions Least Involving Soil The Common
Chapter 19 The legal backdrop to a discussion of subsurface conditions (at least involving soil) is the common law rule discussed in Section 7.4C. In effect this chapter explores contractual alterations to the common law. A useful class exercise asks […]
Civil Engineering Chapter 2 This Addresses Fundamental Concepts Necessary For Understanding The Remainder The
Chapter 2 This chapter addresses fundamental concepts necessary for understanding the remainder of the book. One concept is the different forms of business organizations. Other than in the case of a sole proprietorship, the organization and the individuals within it […]
Civil Engineering Chapter 20 The Instructors Approach Will Probably Turn The Degree Which Students
67 Chapter 20 The instructor’s approach to Chapter 20 will probably turn on the degree to which students have already been exposed to the mechanics of scheduling. The chapter is designed to both educate as to the basic concepts of […]
Civil Engineering Chapter 21 The Text This Point Has Dealt With The Major Project Participants
Chapter 21 The text to this point has dealt with the major project participants: owner, design professional, and prime constructor (whether prime contractor, CM or D/builder). Subcontractors differ from these participants in 2 major aspects: 1. As a general rule, […]
Civil Engineering Chapter 22 Have Emphasized That Termination Very Serious Step This Why Subtitle
75 Chapter 22 We have emphasized that termination is a very serious step. This is why we sub-title Chapter 22 as “Sometimes necessary but always costly.” We think it would be useful to see if the students “got the word” […]
Civil Engineering Chapter 23 The Complexity Excessive Use Technical Terminology And The Legal Nature This
79 Chapter 23 The complexity, excessive use of technical terminology, and the “legal” nature of this chapter makes it a possible candidate for elimination, especially from an undergraduate class. Each instructor must make his or her own decision as to […]
Civil Engineering Chapter 24 Ideally The Material Covered This Particularly That Relating Professional Liability
Chapter 24 Ideally, the material covered in this chapter, particularly that relating to professional liability insurance in Section 24.6, can be approached by introducing into the classroom someone with practical experience in professional liability insurance. Where possible, such a resource […]
Civil Engineering Chapter 25 Teaching Has Its Problems Principally Because The Terminology And Complexity
87 Chapter 25 Teaching Chapter 25 has its problems, principally because of the terminology and complexity of the surety transaction. The best way we can think of to teach the material here is to slowly and carefully go over a […]
Civil Engineering Chapter 26 Suggest That The Instructor Over The Table Contents Reveals The
Chapter 26 We suggest that the instructor go over the Table of Contents to Chapter 26. It reveals the complexity of this topic and what lies ahead. Most importantly, the students should see the difference between private systems (mediation and […]
