Owner... as you start your building project...
DO YOU KNOW what really happens in design offices? What guarantees you'll be making when you deliver your construction documents to contractors? How the contracts you sign will predetermine the success or failure of your project?
What do you need to know about the daily interactions of your architect, your contractors and your new "partners" for your project to be successful? How will you get to know it? How will you penetrate the useless panaceas and empty promises you'll be offered? How much does project time cost? How can you make invisible cost exposures visible? If your project experiences a construction claim, how will you protect your budget? How much do most lawyers, courts, arbitrators, mediators or special masters know about what happens behind the closed doors of design and construction? How can the law abuse your project?
In Build It Twice, Joe Boyd has opened windows into the essential interactions of all of these "strangers". He has shown that you, as the owner-leader, can substantially increase the odds your project will be successful, by building it at least once, in detail, on paper before starting construction.
Joe Boyd, with a background in business, law and engineering, has more than 40 years experience in the construction industry. For over 30 of those years, he directed his own firm, J.A.Boyd & Associates in the management of several billion dollars of design and construction, and for the resolution of several hundred million dollars of claims. He has also been negotiator, arbitrator and referee for construction disputes.
In Build It Twice he shares with the reader what causes construction disputes, and provides the insights and tools the owner needs to meet the goals of his or her project and to keep it out of construction litigation.
Educated in business, law, cryptography and engineering, Joe Boyd has spent 45 years in the construction industry, 35 of them as owner/founder of a firm that has managed several billion dollars of design and construction and provided litigation support on several hundred million of construction claims. Boyd continues to provide services as consultant, negotiator, mediator and arbitrator of construction disputes. [See also back cover of Build It Twice in Amazon listing].
