The A145-2015 provides a simple process to guide the owner and builder from the first meeting to the development of the owner`s criteria for the project, through the execution of the design-build change, which sets the amount of the construction contract, to the final construction of the project. In addition, the A145-2015 should be flexible and provide the owner and manufacturer with the flexibility to develop their own cost and charge structure. Michael Bell, AIA, a member of the AIA Documents Committee who participated in the development of the A145-2015, said: « The A145-2015 is much shorter than the standard AEOI design-build documents, reflecting the nature of the project while maintaining the predictability and consistency that comes with using standard AEOI contracts. In 2014, AIA released updated versions of its family of design-build contract documents, primarily for large commercial construction projects. To better meet the needs of homeowners and builders for residential projects, the AIA has set itself the goal of developing a document that streamlines the design-build process without losing the valuable legal protection that has made AEOI contract documents the industry standard. The result? EAR document A145-2015, standard form of agreement for a single-family or two-family home project. « This document includes fill points like prompts to find some of the most common things required in many different states. The prompts should also encourage the design builder to determine what regulations apply in their individual states, as consumer protection is taken seriously, especially when it comes to homes, » says Snider Contracts for Home Design Build, but presents unique challenges. Many jurisdictions impose specific requirements on certain consumer protection languages that must be included in housing contracts. These provisions can range from wording that informs the owner about how and why a mechanic`s lien can be deposited on the owner`s property, to notice of the specific warranties that must be provided for the project. Often, it is necessary to include legal language that follows certain rules in terms of form and font. Section A145-2015 includes a number of filling points that ask the user to determine whether such provisions should be included, but users are asked to contact competent legal counsel to ensure that their contract meets local requirements. The new A145-2015 is the AEOI`s first offer for a document specially adapted to the planning and construction of residential projects.
While A145-2015 will sound familiar to anyone who used A141-2014, the authors of A145-2015 were able to cut the document in half and limit its exposures to one. This shortening of the document, along with other relevant revisions aimed at housing construction, make it a more appropriate document for the typical owner and contractors who provide housing planning and construction services. Design-build is a method of project execution in which the owner of a project enters into a unique agreement with a design builder to provide both design and construction services. Unlike traditional design-build projects, where the owner separately enters into a contract with an architect for the design and a contractor for the construction, design-build provides a single point of responsibility for the planning and construction of the project. This single point of contact and responsibility, among other advantages, are particularly attractive for apartment owners who prefer to avoid entering into contracts with two separate parties. .
