1. Contract Management: Contractual Performance, Renegotiation, and Claims: How to Safeguard and Increase Profit Margins
2021 by Alain Brunet, Franck César
"This book explores the intersection of behavioral economics and digital tools in the context of contract management, offering insights into the evolving role of contracts over the past decade. Contracts, once primarily legal safeguards, have transformed into instruments for optimizing ongoing, mutually beneficial business relationships with customers. The emphasis has shifted toward tight contracts that transfer time-risk and additional costs to the prime contractor, influencing project success significantly. The contract manager's objectives include protecting the company's interests, minimizing financial and contractual liabilities, maximizing profitability, and ensuring end-user satisfaction. The book addresses the challenges of aligning contractual specifications with customer expectations and underscores the importance of effective contract management in shaping project outcomes. It advocates for strategic moves early in the contractual process to mitigate conflicts later on, drawing parallels to the strategic decisions made in the ancient Chinese game of Go. Through a three-phase sequence, the book promotes a streamlined approach to contract management, encompassing the bid phase, performance, project closeout, and final payments."

3. Introduction to Construction Contract Management
2016 by Brian Greenhalgh
"This book serves as an introductory guide to construction contract administration and management, focusing on the delivery and execution phase of construction projects and addressing the myriad issues that demand proactive management by the contract administrator. Positioned as a resource for contract administrators, it outlines essential tasks and their rationale to maintain the commercial and contractual trajectory of a construction project. While it is particularly suitable for students and novice practitioners across various construction professions, its relevance extends to international projects, offering insights for those navigating different terminologies, procedures, and legal systems outside the UK. Organized into four parts, the content aligns with the timeline of a project during the construction stage, covering initiation, management, finalization, and addressing claims and disputes. 'Introduction to Construction Contract Management' is a valuable resource for students enrolled in global construction programs, international distance learners, and non-cognate graduates embarking on an international career in construction contract administration and quantity surveying."
