摘要

Understanding the ramifications of changing terms and conditions that contractors will have in their contract with owners will require greater sophistication to successfully complete projects onrntime, on budget and profitably. Efficiency guarantees and onerous conditions will create greater litigation and misinterpretation over the role of the contractor, architect, obligee and surety. "Who is responsible for what" will create the need for far more upfront alignment prior to the start of the project for it to be successful and avoid lawsuits.
