Preface
Many texts on the market focus on the contractual aspects of construction law. A construction professional, however, often needs a practical understanding of a much wider
range of subjects. This handbook is designed to service this ned and provide the busy
professional with an accessible resource. It covers the range of topics most commonly
required, and is written for non-lawyers without, we hope, sacricing accuracy or being
patronising. The authors are acknowledged experts and hence the text is both authoritative and reliable, and, as a result of frequent re-issues, will remain up to date.
The editors and the publishers would like to thank the authors of the individual
chapters for their unstinting commitment, hard work and adherence to deadlines.
Finally, we hope that you, the reader, will nd this handbook valuable in your work.
We are always keen to receive feedback and to consider changes for future re-issues.
Please address any comments to the publishers, who will forward them to us.
