Features: This is the third edition of the English version, and the Chinese version is the edition. This book introduces the many common situations encountered by contractors during contract performance, mainly including bidding, contract documents, insurance, on-site construction, payment of project costs, schedule, loss and/or costs, and completion certification, with over 270 letter formats commonly used in these processes. These letter formats are accurate, language-compliant, and appropriately worded, published in a bilingual (Chinese-English) format for easy reading and understanding. Although these letters are related to the standard contract texts commonly used in Commonwealth countries today, with minor modifications, they can be applied to the internationally recognized FIDIC contract conditions familiar to Chinese contractors, as well as the New Engineering Contract (NEC) conditions compiled by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and the AIA contract conditions compiled by the American Institute of Architects. Contract experts specially remind that when using this book, it is crucial not to use it rigidly. When drafting each letter, it is necessary to modify the letter format based on the actual situation. This book is extremely useful for professionals engaged in international engineering project management and can also serve as a specialized English reading material for relevant majors in higher education institutions.
