Construction Contract Administration for Project Owners

Construction Contract Administration for Project Owners

Construction Contract Administration for Project Owners is aimed at public and private owners of real estate and construction projects. The book is intended to assist owners in their contractual dealings with their designers and their contractors. Most owners are not primarily in the business of designing and building facilities. The fact that their primary business is not design and construction places them at a disadvantage when negotiating drafting and administering design agreements and construction contracts because their designers and contractors use these documents every day. This book is intended to assist owners to redress this imbalance by equipping owners to draft and administer contracts so as to protect their interests. The book is aimed at owner personnel with all levels of knowledge in the business of managing projects. It can serve as a comprehensive introduction to drafting and administering design agreements and construction contracts for beginners. For intermediate level personnel it can serve as a manual to be read to enhance the reader’s skills in this area. For the sophisticated project management professional it can serve as a resource to be consulted in connection with very specific issues as they arise on a project.

Sustainable Collective Housing Policy and Practice for Multi-family Dwellings

Sustainable Collective Housing Policy and Practice for Multi-family Dwellings

Housing stocks provide much more than just shelter. Energy suppliers pension fund managers and public transit providers are but a few of the many stakeholders that have a regulated interest in the non-shelter goods and services offered by housing. Such stakeholders and their activities are traditionally addressed on a sectoral basis yet regulations that are designed to apply to one often have unintended effects on another effects that may produce negative pressure on the housing stock – and the wider built environment – in terms of sustainability. Sustainable Collective Housing presents a new and comprehensive approach to the study of the regulations pertaining to housing: the institutional regimes framework. By considering the housing stock as a resource this framework enables the ensemble of public policies property rights and contracts that govern all shelter and non-shelter uses of housing to be identified analyzed and evaluated. Using examples from Switzerland Germany and Spain this book describes the regulatory conditions that must be in place before housing sustainability issues can be effectively tackled. The book will provide policy-makers housing stock owners and other stakeholders with the knowledge and tools to make rational and legitimate decisions regarding housing sustainability. | Sustainable Collective Housing Policy and Practice for Multi-family Dwellings
