Across the nation, construction projects large and small - from
hospitals to schools to simple home improvements - are spiraling
out of control. Delays and cost overruns have come to seem normal,
even as they drain our wallets and send our blood pressure
sky-rocketing. In "Broken Buildings, Busted Budgets", prominent
construction attorney Barry B. LePatner builds a powerful case for
change in America's sole remaining 'mom and pop' industry - an
industry that consumes $1.23 trillion and wastes at least $120
billion each year.With three decades of experience representing
clients that include eminent architects and engineers, as well as
corporations, institutions, and developers, LePatner has firsthand
knowledge of the bad management, ineffective supervision, and
insufficient investment in technology that plagues the risk-averse
construction industry. In an engaging and direct style, he here
pinpoints the issues that underlie the industry's woes while
providing practical tips for anyone in the business of building,
including advice on the precise language owners should use during
contract negotiations.Armed with "Broken Buildings, Busted
Budgets", everyone involved in the purchase or renovation of a
building or any structure - from homeowners seeking to remodel to
civic developers embarking on large-scale projects - has the
information they need to change this antiquated industry, one
project at a time.
