At last—a practical, authoritative resource for lawyers who represent clients in the construction industry! This book covers the basic and not-so-basic legal issues that frequently arise in the context of construction projects. The authors, recruited for their expertise in construction law and litigation, take a close look at relevant statutes and cases and apply legal principles to everyday practice.
This book follows the development of a construction project through contracts, insurance and bonding, performance, claims of various labels and complexities, warranties and completion, and, for troubled projects, termination. The authors then follow the flow of money on a project and address the use of Pennsylvania’s prompt-pay statutes, for both private and public projects, and the mechanics’ lien statute to overcome obstacles in the path of those funds. This, the first of two volumes addressing this topic, is a thorough, well-written reference that you can`t afford to be without.
