Features: This book introduces the main content of the "Construction Project Contract (Model Text)" and the "FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction (1999, First Edition)". It provides a detailed analysis of various disputes arising in construction projects through case studies, offering high reference value for handling construction disputes. The authors include both teaching and research personnel from universities who specialize in construction dispute research, as well as judges and renowned lawyers with extensive experience in adjudication. The book is divided into two main parts:
Part 1 introduces the basic knowledge of construction engineering, primarily focusing on the "Construction Project Contract (Model Text)" in China and the "FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction (1999, First Edition)".
Part 2 is the core of the book, systematically analyzing construction disputes and case commentaries. It categorizes construction disputes into eight major types: disputes over the subject of the construction contract, disputes over project payment, disputes over construction quality, disputes over subcontracting and subcontracting in construction contracts, disputes over contract modification and termination, disputes over project acceptance, disputes over contract audit, and disputes over adjacent construction. The book provides a detailed analysis of each type of dispute, including their causes and resolution approaches, along with case studies that present the background and thorough theoretical commentaries. The book has two key features:
1. The cases are all drawn from practical experiences, with a significant proportion of cases being those the authors have personally adjudicated or represented, offering their own insights.
2. The entire book emphasizes theoretical analysis, with detailed discussions on the causes of disputes and their resolution methods. The book's classification design was proposed by the editor-in-chief, who also coordinated the overall structure and viewpoints. Sun Dongxiao, Tang Yang, and Li Dehua assisted the editor-in-chief in the compilation process. The authors include both educators and researchers specializing in construction engineering contracts, as well as experienced engineering management and technical personnel, along with judges and lawyers with rich judicial practice experience. We believe this book will provide valuable assistance to relevant personnel.
