Master the legal foundations behind engineering projects. This authoritative guide explains how real property, boundaries, easements, and water rights shape every phase of construction and operation.
Designed for engineers, architects, contractors, and public officials, the book combines law and practice to help you anticipate rights, duties, and restrictions before you start a project. It clarifies how location, ownership, and planning influence design, permitting, and risk, with practical insight into navigating property titles, site limitations, and regulatory constraints. The discussion emphasizes the importance of sanitary, safety, and professional standards as essential to successful, economical construction.
Key topics include how to evaluate property for a project, secure necessary rights, and manage the legal aspects that affect design and execution. It also covers boundaries on navigable waters and the special considerations for riparian land, wharfage, and water-front improvements, all framed to support engineers and architects in real-world decisions.
Ideal for readers who work at the intersection of law and building, this edition helps professionals protect projects, avoid disputes, and deliver safe, efficient outcomes.
