Description Table of Contents
 
Uncover hidden cost items and receive full compensation for them. Each chapter of this great book contains step-by-step procedures, checklists, full-size forms, and word-for-word letters to help you increase your acceptance rate and get paid for all changes on the job - without disputes or misunderstandings.

Shows how to find, document, and negotiate payment for every added delay and expense that slips past your "early warning system."

Stop Profit-Robbing Construction Contract Disputes before They Start

With this expanded new edition of Contractor's Guide to Change Orders in hand, contractors working on projects of any size - from remodeling jobs to skyscrapers - will have all the ammunition needed to:
  • Keep hidden construction delays and expenses from draining profit. (Only a fraction of chargeable amounts are ever identified by the owner or architects involved.)
  • Identify trouble spots in the contract, plans, specifications and site that are likely to result in added costs or delays.
  • Find, document and negotiate payment for every added delay and expense that slips past your "early warning system."
  • Negotiate and resolve change order disputes at every level so you are always a step ahead.
  • Put all the facts on your side so that, if all else fails, you have ironclad evidence to support your claim during arbitration or ligitation.
This Book Is Like Having a Lawyer on Call to Help You Out at a Fraction of the Cost.
