Warranty of Design Extended to Construction Manager at Risk

Although a “construction manager at risk” participates in the latter phases of the design process, a public project owner still extends an implied warranty of the accuracy and sufficiency of the plans and specifications. The warranty is of a more limited scope than on a traditional design-bid-construct project, reflecting the participation of the construction manager.
