Each chapter contains case-law summaries, common drafting templates (notices, objections, awards), timelines, flowcharts and a compliance checklist for project authorities. Coverage of dispute resolution includes tribunals, appellate remedies, and negotiation strategies. Updated with recent state amendments and administrative orders, the book is organized for quick reference with a detailed index, tables of statutes and forms.
