AIA Document C132™–2019 provides the agreement between the owner and the construction manager, a single entity who is separate and independent from the architect and the contractor, and who acts as an Advisor (CMa) to the owner throughout the course of the project, beginning in the preconstruction phase. AIA Document C132–2019 is coordinated for use with AIA Document B132™–2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, Construction Manager as Advisor Edition.
Both C132–2019 and B132–2019 are based on the premise that there will multiple construction contractors whose contracts with the owner will be administered by the construction manager and the architect under AIA Document A232™–2019. AIA Document C132–2019 is not coordinated with, and should not be used with, documents where the construction manager acts as the constructor for the project, such as in AIA Document A133™–2019 or A134™–2019.
When to use this document?
- Large project
- Where construction manager is the Advisor
- Used in conjunction with A232, General Conditions
