MS Construction Engineering law

Construction engineering law is a branch of law that covers matters related to engineering, building construction, and related fields. It is a combination of contract law, commercial law, employment law, planning law, and tort. It is a professional subdiscipline of civil engineering that deals with the designing, planning, construction, and operations management of infrastructure such as roadways, tunnels, bridges, airports, railroads, facilities, buildings, dams, utilities and other projects. Construction law covers a wide range of legal issues, including contract, negligence, bonds and bonding, guarantees and sureties, liens and other security interests, tendering, construction claims, and related consultancy contracts. Construction engineers learn some of the design aspects similar to civil engineers as well as project management aspects. Being a sub-discipline of civil engineering, construction engineers apply their knowledge and business, technical and management skills obtained from their undergraduate degree to oversee projects that include bridges, buildings and housing projects. Construction engineers are heavily involved in the design and management/allocation of funds in these projects.
