The AIA Construction Manager Adviser (CMa) and Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) documents are part of a family of documents suited for projects where the Owner wants the additional expertise or other resources that an independent Construction Manager can provide.
Use of the CMa documents may be appropriate when the owner’s project incorporates a fourth prime player—the construction manager—on the construction team (owner, architect and contractor) to act as an independent adviser on construction management matters through the course of both design and construction. Use of the CMc may be appropriate when the owner’s project employs a construction manager who will not only provide construction management services, but also complete the construction of the project.
This webinar will explore the unique features of these agreements and how they interact with the other construction management documents. Attendees will learn about the contractual relationships and liabilities 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. The presenter will discuss real-world scenarios to showcase practical application of concepts discussed.
Learning Objectives:
•Become familiar with the AIA Construction Manager as Adviser (CMa) and Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) documents.
•Understand the contractual relationships between the various parties that define the responsibilities, authority and expectations of each in order to minimize confusion, misunderstandings and project delays.
•Discover how the architect’s duties during both design and construction differ from traditional processes when the owner retains a construction manager.
