Two Types of IPD Agreements—Which is Right for You?
Because Integrated Project Delivery is an emerging process, AIA Contract Documents is introducing two types of agreement packages to help you make the shift:

Transitional Agreements
Transitional Agreements are a comfortable first step into IPD, providing an early collaboration of architect, contractor, and owner in an arrangement modeled after existing construction manager agreements. This model currently includes the following documents:

A295-2008—General Conditions of the Agreement for IPD—defines the responsibilities of each participant. It is the cornerstone of the Transitional Agreements suite and distinguishes this family from the more traditional methods of project delivery.

B195-2008—Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Architect for an Integrated Project.

A195-2008—Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Contractor for an Integrated Project.

GMP Amendment to A195-2008

Single Purpose Entity
This agreement allows a complete sharing of risk and reward. With this arrangement, owners, architects, and construction managers work together from the beginning to carry out projects with mutually agreed-upon goals and target costs. This model currently has one document, the C195-2008—Standard Form Limited Liability Availability Agreement for an Integrated Project.
