CEE 484 Construction Law, Operations and Project Delivery
This course addresses the ways in which legal and operational systems interact with the design and construction process. Topics include contract and tort law, the relationships between the parties to the construction process, negligence, insurance and indemnification, and other statutory principles affecting construction. Emphasis is placed on the contractual and working relationships of the Owner-Contractor, Contractor-Subcontractor, and Owner-Architect/Engineer, using "real-world" examples and case studies to address the problems and disputes of these relationships that arise out of the variety of contemporary project delivery methods. Specialized issues include case law surrounding contract documents, schedule and cost control, delays, claims, change orders and damages, and defects and disputes.
