A101™CMa–1992 Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor where the basis of payment is a Stipulated Sum, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition
A101CMa–1992 is a standard form of agreement between owner and contractor for use on projects where the basis of payment is a stipulated sum (fixed price), and where, in addition to the contractor and the architect, a construction manager assists the owner in an advisory capacity during design and construction. The document has been prepared for use with A201CMa–1992, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition. This integrated set of documents is appropriate for use on projects where the Construction Manager only serves in the capacity of an adviser to the owner, rather than as constructor (the latter relationship being represented in documents A121™CMc–1991 and A131™CMc–1991). A101CMa-1992 is suitable for projects where the cost of construction has been predetermined, either by bidding or by negotiation.

A201™CMa–1992 General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition
A201CMa–1992 sets forth the rights, responsibilities, and relationships of the owner, contractor, construction manager and architect. A201CMa–1992 is adopted by reference in owner-architect, owner-contractor, and owner-construction manager agreements in the A201CMa family of documents. Under A201CMa–1992, the construction manager serves as an independent adviser to the owner, who enters into multiple contracts with prime trade contractors.

Caution: Do not use A201CMa–1992 in combination with agreements where the construction manager takes on the role of constructor, gives the owner a guaranteed maximum price, or contracts directly with those who supply labor and materials for the project, such as A121™CMc–2003 or A131™CMc–2003.

A511™CMa–1993 Guide for Supplementary Conditions, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition
Similar to A503™–2007, A511CMa–1993 is a guide for amending or supplementing the general conditions document A201™CMa–1992. A511CMa–1993 should only be employed, as should A201CMa–1992, on projects where the construction manager is serving in the capacity of adviser to the owner (as represented by the CMa document designation), and not in situations where the Construction Manager is also the constructor (CMc document-based relationships). Like A5 03–2007, this document contains suggested language for supplementary conditions, along with notes on appropriate usage.

B141™CMa–1992 Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition
B141CMa–1992 is a standard form of agreement between owner and architect for use on building projects where construction management services are to be provided under a separate contract with the owner. It is coordinated with B801™CMa–1992, an owner-construction manager-adviser agreement where the construction manager is an independent, professional adviser to the owner throughout the course of the project. Both B141CMa–1992 and B801CMa–1992 are based on the premise that one or more separate construction contractors will also contract with the owner. The owner-contractor agreement is jointly administered by the architect and the construction manager under A201™CMa–1992, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition.

B801™CMa–1992 Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager
B801™CMa–1992 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 solely as an adviser (CMa) to the owner throughout the course of the project. B801CMa–1992 is coordinated for use with B141™CMa–1992, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition. Both B801CMa–1992 and B141CMa–1992 are based on the premise that there will be a separate, and possibly multiple, construction contractor(s) whose contracts with the owner will be jointly administered by the architect and the construction manager under A201™CMa–1992. B801CMa–1992 is not coordinated with, and should not be used with, documents where the construction manager acts as the constructor for the project, such as A121™CMc–1991 or A131™CMc–1991.

G701TMCMa-1992 Change Order, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition
G701TMCMa-1992 is for implementing changes in the Work agreed to by the owner, contractor, construction manager adviser, and architect. Execution of a completed G701TM-2000 indicates agreement upon all the terms of the change, including any changes in the Contract Sum (or Guaranteed Maximum Price) and Contract Time. It provides space for the signatures of the owner, contractor, construction manager adviser, and architect, and for a complete description of the change. The major difference between G701TMCMa–1992 and G701™–2001 is that the signature of the construction manager adviser, along with those of the owner, architect, and contractor, is required to validate the change order.

G702™CMa–1992 Application and Certificate for Payment, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition
G702CMa–1992 serves the same purposes as G702™–1992 except that this document expands responsibility for certification of payment to include both the architect and the construction manager. Similarly, both the architect and the construction manager may certify a different amount than that applied for, with each initialing the figures that have been changed and providing written explanation(s) accordingly. The standard form G703™–1992 Continuation Sheet is appropriate for use with G702CMa–1992.

G704™CMa–1992 Certificate of Substantial Completion, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition
G704CMa–1992 serves the same purpose as G704–2000 except that this document expands responsibility for certification of substantial completion to include both the architect and the construction manager.

G714™CMa–1992 Construction Change Directive, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition
G714CMa–1992 serves the same purpose as G714™–2007 except that this document expands responsibility for signing construction change directives to include both the architect and the construction manager.

G722™CMa–1992 Project Application and Project Certificate for Payment, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition, and G723™CMa–1992 Project Application Summary, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition
G722™CMa–1992, Project Application and Project Certificate for Payment, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition, is to be used in conjunction with G723™CMa–1992, Project Application Summary. These documents are designed to be used on a project where a construction manager is employed as an adviser to the owner, but not as a constructor, and where multiple contractors have separate, direct agreements with the owner. Each contractor submits separate G702™CMa–1992 and G703™CMa–1992, payment application forms to the construction manager-adviser, who collects and compiles them to complete G723CMa–1992. G723CMa–1992 serves as a summary of the contractors' applications with totals being transferred to the G722™CMa–1992. The construction manager-adviser can then sign the G722CMa–1992, have it notarized, and submit it along with the G723CMa–1992 (to which all of the separate contractors' G702CMa–1992 forms are attached) to the architect. Both the architect and the construction manager must certify the payment amount.
