OCTOBER 26, 2010

AIA (American Institute of Architects ) form documents have dominated the construction industry for many years. Due to the AIA dominance, others in the industry sought out an alternative and the ConsensusDOCS were born in 2007. Many experts believe that the AIA standard form contracts are drafted to protect the Architect.

Building Information Management

AUGUST 6, 2013

On the left of this spectrum, you have those Design-Build projects that use bridging documents, lowest bidder selection, and a team that doesn’t work well together. The biggest problem with this model is that when you have an architect prepare bridging documents, you’ve just made all the big decisions without the input of the building team.

Arbitration is Why There is So Little Litigation in Green Building

Green Building Law Update

NOVEMBER 5, 2017

It is surprising to many in the environmental industrial complex that there has been relatively little litigation arising out of green building.
