Description
-Robert Greenstreet, Dean, University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee School of Architecture and Urban Planning
This is an essential guide for architects and their clients and consultants who need professional advice on negotiations, from design development to agreements and fees. Contractors will want to read it, too, especially if they are involved with Integrated Project Delivery. This new edition offers updated insights related to negotiation, with references to the AIA Contract Documents, communication, collaboration, and handling disputes, change, and claims.

Reviews
"Supposedly architects don't need negotiating skills along with other communication skills because great design "sells itself". How lovely that an AIA legal counsel created this definitive book to shatter that thin myth. I'll assert that only a critically-positioned outsider to the profession could have written a book with this valuable slant. If you're involved in any way in architectural education, be subversive and recommend this book as the first assigned reading for entering students. This is what the world - of architecture and everything else - needs now." (Norman Weinstein, ArchNewsNow, June 5, 2009)
