A State-by-State Guide to Construction and Design Law: Current Statutes and Practices 2nd Edition ISBN 9781604425543

If your work involves multi-state construction or design projects, A State-by-State Guide to Construction and Design Law is an essential resource. This practical, user-friendly reference provides key information on construction and design law, as well as contracting practices, for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Fully updated, it is particularly valuable for lawyers negotiating or reviewing contracts for projects outside their home jurisdiction.

Each state’s chapter follows a consistent organizational structure, making it easy to compare how different jurisdictions address the same legal issues. The chapters are authored by over 75 experienced real estate and construction law practitioners, providing authoritative insight into local law and practice.

Whether drafting or negotiating contracts, or resolving disputes on a project, this book offers a first-stop guide to statutory and case law organized by jurisdiction. Key topics covered include:

  • Licensing and regulation of design and construction professionals

  • Mechanic’s liens

  • Statutory and case law governing contracting practices

The guide also addresses issues central to construction and design contracts, including financing, consumer protection, environmental compliance, and alternative dispute resolution. Emerging topics such as Brownfields legislation and ADR trends are also covered, helping practitioners stay ahead of new developments.

Designed for efficiency, this book is a time-saving reference that ensures you have the legal tools you need when advising clients on design and construction projects—making it a go-to resource you will return to repeatedly.
