Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The main difference between engineering and construction contracts is that engineering contracts do not provide detailed information on how a design will be developed and drawn. Instead of providing detailed design information engineering contracts cover the requirements for the legal arrangement between owners and engineers and describe the responsibilities of the engineers who will be representing clients. Engineering contracts establish the authority of the engineers in an agency agreement. Engineering agreements usually provide information on the authority of the engineer, the limits of the agency agreement, and the term of the agreement. Engineering contracts also contain an agreement page for the signatures of owners and the engineers or their representatives.
