This book is structured straightforwardly and is seen as a starting point for those engineers and other construction professionals venturing into a career in Project Management. The case study approach plows through a challenging dispute concerning a partial roof collapse to help guide the best possible ways to avoid, mitigate and resolve similar construction disputes in the future. The book explains how to defuse problems before they become full-blown disputes and how to assess the situation like a business case to determine the preferred approach should informal negotiations fail. The book also points out some of the pitfalls to avoid, such as reduced record keeping, and the various pros and cons of the various dispute resolution mechanisms.
