Construction law is a legal system built from a patchwork of common law, statutory law, and regulatory law. It establishes legal relationships to govern the actions of people with a stake in performing design and construction activities. Design and construction activities are complex activities. Construction law mirrors this complexity, so that when performance is disputed, the legal system can resolve the dispute. This textbook cuts through the complexity to explain how this works, using language suited to college students and construction managers. Part I, consisting of the first ten chapters, focuses upon construction contracts between the owner, designer, and constructor. Part II examines risk, bidding on public projects, subcontractor protections and vulnerabilities, ethical considerations for constructors, construction insurance, and surety bonds. Part III probes regulatory influences, licensing and entitlement, environmental law, labor law, and employment law.About this book
