We negotiated a $9.75 million AIA Document A141–2014, Agreement Between Owner and Design-Builder for our client, an innovative modular construction company undertaking a complex residential project. The project involved the design and construction of 13 three-unit residential buildings, totaling thirty-nine modular units, delivered and assembled on-site, often in a single day, in a four-phase project. The agreement included a phased payment schedule tied to delivery milestones and provisions addressing potential cost adjustments and project delays. Our client’s unique off-site construction process allowed for rapid project delivery, with each phase expected to be completed within forty-five days of the modules arriving on site. This efficient approach significantly accelerated the overall project timeline compared to traditional construction methods and required out-of-the-box thinking when structuring our clients’ contracts and subcontracts.
