Description

THE Construction Contracts Book: Annotated Analysis and Comparison of the AIA, Consensus Docs, and EJCDC Contract Forms 3rd Edition David A Scotti ISBN 9781641056397

A comprehensive, topic-by-topic comparison of construction contract forms from the AIA, EJCDC, and ConsensusDOCS.

Most construction lawyers are familiar with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) forms, the Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC) forms, and the newer ConsensusDOCS agreements. This fully revised third edition provides an invaluable reference by comparing these forms side by side, offering:

• An easy-reference guide to how AIA, ConsensusDOCS, and EJCDC agreements address the most significant issues in owner–contractor–subcontractor and owner–design professional contracts.

• Suggested alternative language for situations where standard form provisions may not provide the optimal solution.

While some chapters have been consolidated for clarity and ease of use, the book retains the format of prior editions. Each chapter is organized by topic and examines how it is treated in the AIA, ConsensusDOCS, and EJCDC agreements. Chapters are divided into three sections:

1. Background and Critical Issues – Introduces the topic and explains the key considerations.

2. Form Contract Comparison – Details relevant provisions from each form and compares how they address the issue.

3. Alternative Clauses – Offers practical sample language for practitioners to adapt when standard contract language may be insufficient.

This edition remains a practical, go-to resource for construction lawyers seeking a clear, side-by-side understanding of the most widely used contract forms.
