Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, there have been many changes to the construction industry's standard form contracts, including the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and Engineer Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC) documents. Additionally, a new family of contract documents, known as Consensus DOCS was created by agreement among various construction contractor, subcontractor, owner, and surety trade associations" " "Alternative Clauses to Standard Construction Contracts, Third Edition" provides instant access to amendments to AIA, AGC, EJCDC and Consensus DOCS for owners, architects and contractors. This unique resource covers all major documents in use throughout the construction industry and enables you to compare between the different documents. It delivers practice-proven amendments clause-by-clause. It tells you specifically what to insert and delete in order to reach the ends your client desires. And it goes so deep, it even covers contractors amendments for agreements with subcontractors. While it is absolutely essential to stay current with these standard agreements, it is imperative that everyone involved in negotiating and drafting construction contracts also have access to practice-proven modifications that strengthen the language on behalf of clients. If the other parties to your agreement have access to this book--and you don't--you're placed at a significant disadvantage every step of the way. Let the experts from Smith, Currie & Hancock provide you with invaluable support when negotiating or drafting construction contracts.

Detailing the structural systems most widely used today—heavy timber framing, wood platform framing, masonry loadbearing wall, structural steel framing, and concrete framing systems—the book describes each system’s historical development, how the major material is obtained and processed, tools and working methods, as well as each system’s relative merits. Designed as a primer to building basics, the book features a list of key terms and concepts, review questions and exercises, as well as hundreds of drawings and photographs, illustrating the materials and methods described. 1990 (0 471-50911-6) 803 pp. Mechanical and Electrical Equipment for Buildings Eighth Edition Benjamin Stein and John S.

Incisive discussion of each assembly...features, uses, advantages, limitations. Accompanying charts provide man-hours per unit-in-place by component and entire assemblies. The man-hour data enables you to compare assemblies by time and cost factors in minutes. Each graphic is labeled and sized, where appropriate, with unit and component terms to ensure you're completely familiar with what each segment of the assembly is called. By designing with assemblies and related components, you can develop construction concepts that meet use, budget and time goals with ease.
