It also includes tips on dealing with indigenous workforces, contract language and loopholes, quality control, and contract closeout. Sample documents such as contract amendments and change orders are provided, as well as eleven case studies and a glossary, making this an ideal choice for a textbook. The Field Manual for Oil and Gas Construction Contracts Management is also well suited for use in seminars for clients, contractors, project managers, and engineers.
