Engineering Contracts is intended for those who wish to acquire skills in drafting, negotiating and working with commercial and engineering contracts. It aims to bring a different approach to the subject; combining the traditional legal perspective of the law of contract with the needs of the commercial manager or engineer who is seeking solutions to technical and commercial problems.The context within which these matters are examined is as wide as possible; for the purposes of illustration cases are drawn from the fields of mechanical, electrical, chemical, electronic and civil engineering, as well as from construction and building contracts. In many cases the important points are common to all disciplines, for instance the importance of ensuring that what has been specified is what is delivered by a supplier, and that any such delivery or indeed any event critical to the timely conclusion of a project takes place when arranged.There is advice on how to the concepts broached relate to real-life requirements and the reader will benefit from the helpful 'Legal Questions Answered' section that is included in most chapters. In addition there is a summary guide to drafting an engineering contract, a section on the relevant statutes and other legislation in force, and a list of the engineering institutions and their standard forms of contract. Case-studies of genuine and practical origin from the author's wide-ranging experience in industrial practice complete this comprehensive treatment of the subject matter.
When I first read Abrahamson's "Engineering Law and the ICEContracts" I noted, in passing, the points he made concerning draftingand the books which he recommended on legal drafting, but I mustadmit that I didn't read those books until I came to write this book. Ifound that the books were difficult to obtain and no engineers of myacquaintance appeared to have read them.

First published in 1984. This work is designed to provide for those who often face having to set up engineering contracts a comprehensive text-book and source of ready reference, by the aid of which they may handle the competitive tendering process without doubt or difficulty. Each step is described in chronological sequence, with comment on the common pitfalls. Comprehensive check-lists are included with a detailed alphabetical index to enable a subject to be readily located. As a text-book it aims to be equally of value to engineers and to others who have recently changed from pure technology to new responsibilities with a more commercial, contractual or managerial flavour.
