Books on claims

[This is a repeat of a posting I made under a different topic.]

If you are interested in learning about Delay Claims, you can’t do better that the CD compendium, “PPG #1: Contracts and Claims, Second Edition (CD) , James G. Zack, Jr., Editor, AACE International, 2000.” It is a collection of important papers written on the subject organized into one CD. You can find it on the web at https://www.aacei.org/bookstore/cgi-bin/shop.cgi?CustomerID=697170951andpage=Topic09.html. The CD is just recently updated and contains 1380 pages. It costs $38.50 for AACE members and $53.50 if you are not.

I have reviewed a copy and am very impressed. It has 19 chapters, an Author Index, and a Chronological Index. If this doesn’t scare you away from doing professional claims work, then maybe this demanding vocation is for you.

With respect to India following books are best on contracts and claims.

1) see link

2) Builing and Engineering Contracts by GT Gajria

3) Building Contracts and Claims by Saujan

Saujan is the best on claims and contracts

D2,

I haven’t read Nicholas Carnell’s Book “Causation and Delay in Construction Disputes” by Tony Bingham gives it the thumbs up in the following review: http://www.tonybingham.co.uk/column/2000/20000929.htm

Even though it was written some five years ago it is no doubt still very relevant; my own choice of reference book on claims, however, is Keith Pickavance’s “ Delay and Disruption in Construction Contracts” , although it is also from 2000 but still very relevant.
