About the Book
It is expected that design and construct in the 1990's will follow the growth trend of design-build in the building industry in the 1980's. For civil engineers the changes in contractual arrangements will be challenging and demanding. The responsibilities and obligations of the parties will be vastly different from those in traditional ICE Conditions and the familiar role of the engineer will disappear. This book will examine in detail the difference
