Written by experienced and innovative projects lawyer Arent van Wassenaer, this book explains what the critical success factors are for construction projects to be completed on time, within everyone's budget, to the right quality, with all stakeholders satisfied and without disputes. In so doing, van Wassenaer discusses how such projects could be structured, tendered for, executed and completed, and what legal and non-legal mechanisms are available to achieve success in construction projects.

Using examples of real projects, A Practical Guide to Successful Construction Projects provides tools for those in leading and managerial positions within the construction industry to change - where necessary - their usual operational methods into methods which are aimed at achieving project success.

Arent van Wassenaer is a former construction lawyer with 33 years of experience with Houthoff Buruma, Norton Rose and Allen & Overy in Amsterdam. Currently, he is owner of The Faithful Goose, a company specialising in partnerships for successful projects with a positive impact on one or more of the sustainable development goals.
