Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

D2,

I haven’t read Nicholas Carnell’s Book “Causation and Delay in Construction Disputes” by Tony Bingham gives it the thumbs up in the following review: http://www.tonybingham.co.uk/column/2000/20000929.htm

Even though it was written some five years ago it is no doubt still very relevant; my own choice of reference book on claims, however, is Keith Pickavance’s “ Delay and Disruption in Construction Contracts” , although it is also from 2000 but still very relevant.

2) Builing and Engineering Contracts by GT Gajria

3) Building Contracts and Claims by Saujan

Saujan is the best on claims and contracts

[This is a repeat of a posting I made under a different topic.]

If you are interested in learning about Delay Claims, you can’t do better that the CD compendium, “PPG #1: Contracts and Claims, Second Edition (CD) , James G. Zack, Jr., Editor, AACE International, 2000.” It is a collection of important papers written on the subject organized into one CD. You can find it on the web at https://www.aacei.org/bookstore/cgi-bin/shop.cgi?CustomerID=697170951and.... The CD is just recently updated and contains 1380 pages. It costs $38.50 for AACE members and $53.50 if you are not.

I have reviewed a copy and am very impressed. It has 19 chapters, an Author Index, and a Chronological Index. If this doesn’t scare you away from doing professional claims work, then maybe this demanding vocation is for you.
