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 Contract for Integrated Project Delivery
B195™–2008 Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for Integrated Project Delivery
A195™–2008 Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor for Integrated Project Delivery
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 of Single Purpose Entity Agreement for Integrated Project Delivery. |
