The ConsensusDocs Coalition recently announced the first set of new contract documents, part of a major update initiative to reflect ongoing industry trends towards collaboration and new project delivery and financing methods. The trends and developments include lean construction, building information modeling (BIM), sustainable principles in design and construction, new construction techniques and technologies, increased transparency, and recent legal and insurance developments.
These developments look promising and we look forward to looking at some of the new clauses. For example, the documents recognize the use of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and Public Private Partnerships, and are designed to be able to tailor standard documents to fully address the unique project requirements encountered on Federal Government projects. A list of the new documents just published as well as forthcoming documents next year is provided below.
