Using the New AIA Design‑Build Documents for Effective Risk Management
Learn how to protect your firm and reduce liability when engaging in design‑build project delivery.
Explore how AIA’s new Progressive Design‑Build agreements can help architects manage risk and strengthen collaboration.
As more design firms serve as subcontractors to design-build entities, architects face new professional and contractual risks. Without the right agreement in place, architects may assume uninsured liability exposures—and when a design-builder provides a guaranteed maximum price before design development is complete, cost recovery efforts can expose the design team to significant financial loss.
This session introduces the latest AIA Design-Build Documents, including the new Progressive Design-Build series, which promote collaboration among the owner, architect, and contractor throughout the design process. Attendees will learn how these agreements can help ensure project goals are met, minimize costly change orders, and establish clearer, value-driven relationships between all parties.
