It comments on real-life cases, taken from various kinds of projects: infrastructural works (roads, bridges, tunnels, rail roads), wind- and sunfarms, oil and gas installations, such as platforms, pipe lines, power generating works, and large buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is structured around the contracting cycle. Chapters include dealing with the role of the contractor in international contracting, the tender process, landing and negotiating the contract, types of contract, problems that may occur during project execution, project delivery, and handling guarantee claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten primarily for business practitioners operating in the international contracting industry, the title assumes that the reader will have a basic understanding and knowledge of theories related to project management, construction engineering, business law and economics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough not an academic book, due to its unique blend of practitioners' insight and academic theory, it can be taught on Masters courses.
