Forensic Procedures for Boundary and Title Investigation
Application of Forensic Investigative Techniques in the Field of Land Boundary Retracement

Learn to be a good investigator and a successful retracement surveyor. In the era of CSI, forensic science has taken on an unaccustomed glamour.

This is the first book to present the application of investigative forensic techniques to the field of land boundary retracement. Covering basic logic, document research, and the interpretation of physical evidence on site, it's an indispensable guide for surveyors faced with a difficult retracement having little or faulty evidence.

Understanding & Negotiating Construction Contracts
Understand All Aspects of Creating & Negotiating Construction Contracts

Construction is a complex business. Each project has its own unique physical and commercial considerations. Since there’s no such thing as a “standard” or “typical” construction project, construction contracts should also not be considered standard.
