Contract documents

Use of the Construction Manager as Adviser (CMa) family of AIA Contract Documents may be appropriate when the owner’s project incorporates a fourth prime player—the construction manager adviser—on the project team (owner, architect and contractor). The CMa acts as an independent adviser to provide coordination, scheduling, review and other services through the design and construction phases where multiple direct- to- owner contractors are used. Learn about the newly revised AIA CMa documents and learn about the contractual relationships set forth in these agreements and how to properly allocate risks and responsibilities in order to achieve a successful project to the benefit of all project participants, building inhabitants and the general public.
