The 2004 (10th edition) of Design-Build Lessons Learned (240 pages) reports on 58 cases and covers a wide spectrum of design-build issues. This edition is the most comprehensive yet, as it discusses a host of critical issues affecting design-build practices. In particular, you will find four important court cases addressing the design-builder’s single point of responsibility, as well as the liability that an engineer faces to a general contractor/design-builder for pre-proposal services.
The 2004 edition of Design-Build Lessons Learned also has a case of critical significance to the surety industry discussing the surety’s liability for delay damages on one of the world’s largest design-build projects.

These are not dry, boring court cases. They're cleverly-written, extremely informative and make for good reading should you want to avoid a lawsuit in the design-build field.
