Schinnerer's Expanded Contract Guide for Complex Projects
This publication is our response to the unique needs surrounding the services agreements for complex projects. We used our highly acclaimed Managing Risk Through Contract Language as a starting platform, expanding the content and adding sections that address specific risks of larger design firms and the more complex projects they often encounter. Individual portions can be used effectively as a resource for any type of project contract, and are particularly valuable on emerging issues like BIM, IPD, and sustainable design.
