A waste of money
Elementary discussion of land development.Lacks detail and interest.
Nothing New Here
Lets face it......if you know anything at all about developing land, the absolute critical item is actually finding a piece of property that makes sense to wast time pursuing. I bought this book hoping to find some insight into ways of "finding" that elusive "good fit" property that maybe I have not thought of. Nothing new here, just some odball potential sources of finding property that just waste your time

Intro to development that could be half as long
A fairly useful overview that describes the issues a developer has to address, but not much about how to address them.For some reason the author tends to repeat himself.He says something and then restates it.He makes the same point twice.Read more

Helpful for A/Es
Bill Quatman is one of a handful of lawyers who has the ability to write a book like this.This is part of the Aspen Design-Build "Red Book" series and is a valuable edition in that it focuses on the perspective of the A/E in this process.The chapters are relatively short, which I enjoyed, and I particularly enjoyed some of the examples that Quatman used in proving points on stipends and teaming.I do think that the sections on liability were a bit less comprehensive than needed for my tastes, and feel that there are several better resources out there.These include Mike Loulakis' series, "Design-Build Lessons Learned" and the Robert Cushman and Michael Loulakis book published by Aspen entitled "Design-Build Contracting Handbook (2nd Edition)".But this is a minor criticism, since Quatman gives the primary readers of these books (architects, like myself) a sense of security that they can in fact participate and make money in design-build. ...

Very Helpful
I am an architect that has been trying to understand what I'm about to get into in being part of a design-build team.I found this book really easy to read and it gave me some perspectives on liability, especially ownership of my design documents.It's written in a case-note summary approach, so I could quickly find the point of the case and then see what the facts are.I liked the author's practical suggestions on what lessons are to be learned.The approach is a nice balance to the other books out there on design-build, such as Bill Quatman's book on Design-Build for Design Professionals, which I also really like and recommend to architects and engineers.

A Valuable Resource
As an attorney with an interest in construction-related court decisions, I have found this book to be a valuable resource. Mr. Loulakis has made a tremendous effort to research, catalog, and describe the various decisions issued by courts and boards of contract appeals arising from design-build projects during 2001. This book is useful to everyone involved in the design-build process, including owners, contractors, design professionals, and attorneys. It appears that the author's goal is to write a similar book every year on this subject. I applaud his efforts and look forward to the 2002 edition.

Great stuff!
I am a public owner who is actively involved in trying to manage design-build projects.Loulakis is one of the leading authorities on the legal issues in design-build and I have each of his previous 6 editions of Design-Build Lessons Learned.They are well-written, easy to understand and provide valuable lessons.What I appreciate the most is that this series of publications provides the only, as far as I know, listing of all design-build cases that arise in a given year.The 2001 edition has a number of unique design-build cases, particularly in the public sector, which is just what I needed.Looking forward to the 2002 edition already!! ...
