Book review

This easy-to-read companion enables the reader to grasp and contractually address the key determinants necessary for critical decision-making in initiating projects and in selecting or modifying the appropriate standard form of contract. Throughout the companion, the author explains common practical challenges and suggests pathways to manage and mitigate challenges, with frequent references to specific clauses that the parties should concern themselves to amend and incorporate in the special provisions. The companion contains constructive criticisms of subject matters that the contract has become silent on or remains silent about and on changes that were desirable but that were not made in the updated version. There is a consistent comparative analysis of changes to clauses, the associated issues that may arise due to changes and the significance of the same. The companion is very well written, and, as such, the reader may be tempted to study the handbook without ever opening the actual 2017 EPC/Turnkey Contract.
