This CLE webinar will provide guidance to construction counsel for evaluating whether and when to use the AIA or ConsensusDOCs form documents for integrated project delivery (IPD) agreements. The panel will explain the key features of the forms and discuss issues that frequently arise during contract negotiations.

Description

A complex construction project will only run smoothly if all parties to the project—the owner, architect and contractor—clearly understand and agree on the goals of the project and the responsibilities of each party early on, and frequently communicate about its progress.

Integrated project delivery (IPD) is a three-party agreement among the owner, architect and contractor that encourages early involvement of all parties during preconstruction; uses technology to reach decisions and set goals; and fosters collaboration and cooperation among parties.

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and ConsensusDOCs have each created form IPD documents, which address risk allocation, contingencies and liability limitations. Construction counsel must understand the key features of each form to decide which best meets their clients’ goals.

Listen as our authoritative panel of construction counsel compares and contrasts the AIA and ConsensusDOCs forms for IPD and explains best practices for crafting IPD agreements.
