B101

Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect (2007)

B101 is for building design and construction contract administration. B101 is a one part document that was developed to replace B141-1997, Parts 1 and 2, and B151-1997. B101 returns to the traditional division of services into Basic and Additional Services. Basic Services are based on five traditional phases: Schematic Design; Design Development, Construction Documents, Bidding or Negotiation, and Construction. This document may be used with a variety of compensation methods, including percentage of construction cost and stipulation sum. B101 assumes that the Architect will provide cost estimates and will design the Project to meet the Owner’s budget for the Cost of the Work. If the Owner will retain a third party to provide cost estimates, or if the Project will implement fast track, phased or accelerated scheduling, the parties should consider using B103, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Large or Complex Project. [Formerly B151-1997]

B102

Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect without a Predefined Scope of Architect's Services (2007)

B204, Value Analysis

B253, Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment Design

[Formerly B141-1997]

B103

Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Large or Complex Project (2007)

In B103, the Architect does not prepare cost estimates, but agrees to design the Project to meet the Owner's budget for the Cost of the Work at the conclusion of the Design Development Phase Services. B103 assumes that the Owner will retain third parties to provide cost estimates and Project schedules, and may implement fast-track, phased or accelerated scheduling. If the Architect will provide cost estimates and will design the Project to meet the Owner's budget for the Cost of the Work at the conclusion of the Construction Documents Phase Services, the parties should consider using B101, Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Architect.

B107

This document anticipates that the developer-builder will have extensive control over the management of the project, acting in a capacity similar to that of a developer or speculative builder of a housing project, and that the developer-builder is an entity that has experience with applicable residential building codes, selection of materials and systems, and methods of installation and construction.
