The author presents the lessons learned from his experiences in three decades of infrastructure plan preparation and review. His text can serve as a tutorial for project engineers and project managers who are faced with guiding a staff along a learning curve in the shortest possible time. The chapter on plan review collects situations encountered, based on the reviews of hundreds of sets of contract documents, in an attempt to help avoid anomalies that could result in unintentional contradictions or costly field changes.

Good reference of Civil/Transportation Engineers,

This review is from: Plans, Special Provisions and Contract Plan Reviews - A Guide for Plan Preparation, Writing Special Provisions and Performing Plan Reviews (Paperback)
This book is well written and for those that are looking for a comprehensive description of each component for a set of roadway design plans and specifications. Each section provides a good description of what should be included and also what needs to be considered to avoid errors-and-omissions. Sample plan sheets are also very visually helpful. This is a recommended buy for design engineers.

This book is great. As another reviewer said this is perfect for someone right out of college. It is written in an easy to read format. It gives a good general overview and background for each type of plan sheet. Really a must have on your bookshelf. This covers a set of plans from birth to construction and even gives advice to prevent costly construction changes.

This review is from: Plans, Special Provisions and Contract Plan Reviews - A Guide for Plan Preparation, Writing Special Provisions and Performing Plan Reviews (Paperback)
This is a perfect book for new hires and out of college engineers. It explains the relationship between contract documents and how to use them. It is a perfect tool for training new hires in highway engineering. It is about time someone put their experience to use. Must have few copies in your company file room.
