A133-2019 SCOSE

This version of AIA Document A133–2019 has been modified by the South Carolina Office of the State Engineer (SCOSE) and is intended for use only on South Carolina Office of the State Engineer projects.  Publication of this document does not imply The American Institute of Architects’ endorsement of any modification by the South Carolina Office of the State Engineer.  A comparative version of this document showing additions and deletions by South Carolina Office of the State Engineer is available for review on the South Carolina state website and also by clicking here.

AIA Document A133–2019 is intended for use on projects where a construction manager, in addition to serving as Advisor to the owner, assumes financial responsibility for construction of the project. The construction manager provides the owner with a guaranteed maximum price proposal, which the owner may accept, reject, or negotiate. Upon the owner’s acceptance of the proposal by execution of an amendment, the construction manager becomes contractually bound to provide labor and materials for the project and to complete construction at or below the guaranteed maximum price. The document divides the construction manager’s services into two phases: the preconstruction phase and the construction phase, portions of which may proceed concurrently in order to fast track the process.

The SCOSE version of A133–2019 is intended to be used in conjunction with the SCOSE version of AIA Document A201–2017, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, which it incorporates by reference.
