To prepare for this Application, begin by identifying the possible types of contracts and sets of documents available for use by construction industry professionals (e.g., AIA, AGC, or ConsensusDocs). Review your course text (paying particular attention to the NSAD library, and online sources to see if there have been any recent changes to any of the document types. Finally, take a moment to review the Group Project scenario. Following is the scenario with which you will be working: “The Thrasher Professional Services Center (TPSC), located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, will be a 43,000-square-foot office building serving the medical community. This is a multi-tenant speculative office that will be rented to members of the medical profession. The site is located on 15 acres adjacent to a major medical center.”
Your roles are those of a Construction Project team with supervisory responsibilities, working for the Project Management Office (PMO).
Then, respond to the following in a 300- to 500-word paper:
Evaluate the strengths and limitations of the various contract types you identified.
State which set of documents and contracts you will recommend your group use. Be sure to explain your rationale.
Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. Refer to the Harvard System of Referencing guide to ensure your in-text citations and reference list are correct.
