The book gives you access to a treasure chest of knowledge collected by experienced engineers and contract managers -- experience you can use when faced with the challenges projects bring -- challenges that arise from the basic fundamental nature of projects themselves. Svend Poulsen Project Director, Atkins, and Chairman, FIDIC Contracts Updates Task GroupThere is a clear need and niche for this publication for many readers from across the globe -- notably in new independent states and developing countries. The author approaches subject matters from their standpoint, that is, a non-native English-speaking construction project participant in a new economy where the forms and principles may not be familiar. Mr Klee's practical and concise approach to issues will be welcomed by the busy practitioner. Ilya Nikiforov Managing Portlier, Egorov, Puginsky, Afanasiev & PartnersThe advantage of this book is that it covers all important international construction law aspects in a comprehensible, easy-to-read and user-friendly manner....It is an essential reference for all parties involved directly or indirectly in international construction projects. Robert Werth Director of Werth-Consultlodny large international construction projects often involve a range of major contractors, subcontractors and consultants, usually based in different parts of the world and familiar with their own legal systems. This can lead to confusion in the understanding, interpretation and execution of the construction contract, which can result in significant disruption to the construction project, incurring financial loss and time delays.International Construction Contract Law is written for anyone who needs to understand the legal and managerial aspects of large international construction projects, including consulting engineers, lawyers, clients, developers, contractors and construction managers worldwide. In 18 chapters it provides a thorough overview of civil low/common law interrelationships, delivery methods, standard forms of contract, risk allocation, variations, claims and dispute resolution, all in the context of international construction projects. The book is highly practical in approach, introducing legal analysis only when absolutely essential to understanding. It also contains a number of short vignettes highlighting specific issues in various parts of the world, plus a range of useful appendices, including a 10-language basic dictionary of terms used in FIDIC forms and a number of standard letters that can be used in the management of claims.
