Answers to Jimmie Hinze "Construction Contracts" Review Questions

[Dee Saviona]

Hello! Does anyone know where I can find/ purchase answers to the review questions at the end of each chapter for "Construction Contracts", by Jimmie Hinze.

I purchased my book second-hand, and don't have the registration card that goes along with the book to help with the questions.

Thanks!

Hi Dee, I have the answer book of the Construction Contracts Third Edition review questions. I am willing to sell it for $15 only (original price was $30). If you are interested in, please leave your email here and I will contact you :D

Here is a sample solution from the answer book:

Chapter 4

Q3. Describe the major differences between a right-of-way and an easement. 

Answer:  Right-of-way refers to a unique parcel of land, which typically is quite long and relatively narrow.  Highway property is a common example of a right-of-way.  When the right-of-way is first established, numerous parcels consisting of small strips of land on adjoining properties must be acquired.  The acquisition consists of the transfer of title.  Easement is somewhat similar in that the configuration of the properties containing the easement tend to be quite long and relatively narrow.  Oil and gas lines are often buried in easement property.  The easements will restrict the type of use that can be made of the land.  In fact, an easement is a limited used agreement for a parcel of property.  Although the easement or permission of limited use is shown on the property deed, title to the property does not change.  Thus, the essential differences between right-of-way and easement relate to the land entitlement and the extent of use.

Note:  Right-of-way is often a term used for the passageway that must be provided by a neighbor whose property landlocks another property.  This passageway is more correctly called an “access easement” rather than a right-of-way.

That has to be one of the most convoluted explanation of a ROW vs an Easement ever! Leave it to a lawyer to never cut to the chase.

A right of way is typically associated with roads, and is owned and maintained by a governmental agency....ex. Dept. of Transportation.

An easement grants the right for a specific use (for example sanitary sewer line) of a portion of a parcel of land owned by someone else. The holder of the easement has the right to enter the easement for construction and maintenance purposes. The owner of the land also has the right to use the easement for other purposes, but may be restricted in what they can do. For example, the water and sewer authority would frown on the property owner placing a building or planting trees within a sewer easement.

Try Business Law for Landscape Architects. This book is by far the best book for Section 1 & 4. This was written by UGA professors and taught when I was a student there. Hinze's Construction Contracts was too confusing and not well written. I passed Section 1 on the first try.

If I guess correctly, this is not any access to the actual book. Only, random answers that are posted from questions (from where?) that explain/describe the solution(s). ~$15.00/month to access. Not sure what I am getting for the money exactly.
