The general conditions are an integral part of the contract for construction for a large project. It sets forth the relationship between owner, contractor, and architect, including the rights and responsibilities of all parties. Whether you are a new or experienced architect, a solid understanding of the basic tenets of A201, General Conditions of a Construction Contract will benefit you in your practice.

Join us for this two-part webinar on A201 as four veteran architects (who bring a combined 150 years of hard knocks, practical experience, and real-world examples), discuss what recently licensed architects really need to know – and where to find the answers when things don’t go as planned.

This course will provide an overview of the general conditions document, including the basic and essential information that architects should understand in order to successfully lead and administer a project during construction, as well as meet requirements for health, safety, and welfare of project constituents and the general public.
