Calculating Construction Damages 2nd Edition

This is a real "must have book" for those professionals who are involved directly or not to construction claims controversial and arbitration.

I bought this book because I was the opposing expert witness in a construction claims suit in which Schwartzkopf was the expert for the construction company who had over billed the client hundreds of thousands of dollars and needed to justify their overcharges, which, they claimed, stemmed from owner-caused delay. I thought the book would illuminate how Mr. Schwartzkopf would calculate damages. It did not. In fact, Mr. Schwartzkopf didn't use anything in his own book to forward his own report which was at times made up of supposition, assumptions and fabrications. Every single assertion Mr. Schwartzkopf made was rejected and the case was a 100% loss for his client. A good lawyer will make a good case based on the contract and easily available case law. You may well find this book a waste of money. After all, if Mr. Schwartzkopf couldn't use his own book to make a classic construction case, how would you?

...then you want a completely comprehensive book on construction claims. This is the best one I've seen in over twenty years in the field.

Very structured and clear description of damages calculation.
