Answer to Question 1

It is easier for someone who has worked on a bid estimate to administer construction contracts than someone who has recently been assigned to work on a project because the person that helped develop the bid proposal would be intimately familiar with the terms, conditions, plans, and specifications as a result of them analyzing these in order to prepare the bid estimate proposal.

Answer to Question 2

Contracts do not have to be written by lawyers. Members of engineering and construction firms either write their own contracts or they purchase standard contracts through professional or trade organizations. Writing construction contracts requires familiarity with construction operations, methods, and materials all of which lawyers may not be familiar with; therefore, engineers typically write construction contracts for owners.
