Product Description
Construction Contracts, Third Edition by Jimmie Hinze is the McGraw Hill hardcover textbook that teaches contract law for construction and architecture students in a single-semester course, using real cases to show which contract issues end up in litigation.
Hinze presents the fundamentals of contract law, then goes deep on the construction topics that most often produce disputes: changed conditions, delays, changes, payment and termination. Around that core he covers how construction contracts are procured, dispute resolution methods, surety bonds, construction insurance, construction safety and construction labor law. The third edition incorporates the changes in construction law, regulation and practice from the decade before its publication.

Who it's for
Construction management, civil engineering and architecture students taking construction law or contracts, project managers and estimators who sign or administer contracts, small contractors who want to understand what they are agreeing to, and construction professionals preparing for CCM or similar certification.
Why this edition
The third edition is the current one and is written for people who build, not for lawyers. The case summaries are short and pointed, and each chapter ends with review questions that make it workable for self-study. It complements Fisk and Reynolds’ Construction Project Administration: one explains the law, the other the paperwork.
