Underground construction is more complex than ever. Demand for
space is increasing, new technologies are constantly evolving, and
more stakeholders are asserting influence. Yet one of the most
challenging and frustrating characteristics of underground
construction remains: often, contract language does not account for
the unique nature of building underground.
Recommended Contract Practices for Underground Construction is
the first industry-wide effort to improve contract procedures in
more than 30 years. Commissioned by the Underground Construction
Association of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration,
this manual is an indispensable resource for contractors,
consultants, suppliers, and owners anticipating underground
projects. The authors suggest better practices during all stages of
a project, when decisions are made that can affect the contract
positively or negatively.
Part one focuses on the practices and disciplines that build the
foundation for effective contracts during the early phases of a
project. Part two discusses best practices for contract provisions,
payment mechanisms, and dispute resolution.
By following these recommendations, you'll reduce the mistrust
and costly disputes that often arise from the contract process. The
result will be improved relationships, better contracts, and, most
importantly, projects that are most cost-effective for owners and
more profitable for contractors.
