Eli H.
This is a good introduction to Constriction Contracts which any Construction Office Secretary or Administrative Assistant or entry level Contractor or Trades Person looking to further their knowledge on the subject will benefit from. It is essentially a walk through a 118-page manual on Administering Construction Contracts (the manual is provided in pdf) under Australian Regulations. But as an American in the USA who worked as a Construction Office Administrator, Contractor, and Tradesman, I found the material useful and applicable to the U.S. in most areas outside of specific laws.
