Avoid Being Blindsided by the AIA A201 – An AGC Webinar

November 9, 2009 from 1:00 - 2:30 PM EST For the first time in more than 50 years, the AIA A201 General Terms and Conditions document was not endorsed by AGC. If using the A201, the 2007 edition is now mandated. The substantial risk shift to contractors (general and specialty) and other parties outside the design profession will be addressed in this webinar. The webinar will analyze the substantial risk shift to contractors (general and specialty), and provide value tools including:      • Highlighting major concerns and potential traps      • Recommended revisions      • Comparisons with terms in ConsensusDOCS contracts Key Topics:      • New risks, requirements and restrictions contractors now face      • Specific possible corrective action to consider (including AGC's Preliminary Commentary on the         new AIA A201)      • Explanation of how an architects' and contractors' responsibility and risk exposure are not balanced         in the A201      • Commentary on the substance of the A201 and AIA's drafting process Learn more and register today.
