Contract Strategies for Major Projects

Mitigate risk and increase profits on your next major construction project

Contract Strategies for Major Projects: Mastering the Most Difficult Element of Project Management offers readers an insightful and practical exploration of how to engage with construction and engineering contractors on projects regardless of the locale, project type, or market in which you find yourself.

In the book, you’ll discover the key principles of contracting that apply across all kinds of major projects, including dams, oil rigs, alternative energy projects, and more. You’ll learn why the largest risks in contracting are almost always borne by the owner and why attempts to shift that risk to the contractor are usually ineffective.

The author explains how to avoid the most common contracting games played (and almost always won) by contractors and how to avoid mixing contract types with different contractors on the same project.

A can’t-miss resource for business leaders, department heads, team leads, corporate counsels, and anyone else involved in the contracting process of large, industrial projects, Contract Strategies for Major Projects offers readers invaluable insights into the trickiest part of the complex and uncertain world of mega-project management.
