C172-2014

AIA Document C172™–2014 is a standard form agreement between owner and program manager for use on a single project. The program manager assists the owner in an advisory capacity on matters that impact the project during design and construction. The program manager’s basic services include creating a program management plan to describe the scope of the project and related requirements, managing project-related information, developing a budget and schedule, and establishing quality control guidelines. C172-2014 also contains cost estimating and construction administration services that the parties may select as additional services. Unlike in the Construction Manager as Advisor family of Document, where the construction manager has some shared responsibilities with the architect, in C172 the program manager does not have shared responsibilities with other project participants or authority to act directly on behalf of the owner with respect to the responsibilities of the architect or contractor. C172–2014 is primarily intended to be used with the Conventional Design-Bid-Build (A201) family of documents.
