CSI Board Endorses ConsensusDOCS Documents

CSI’s Board of Directors has officially endorsed six ConsensusDOCS contract documents. CSI joined the ConsensusDOCS® coalition in spring 2010 to contribute in the creation of best practices for construction documentation and communication. CSI participated in drafting sessions as an equal member. The CSI Technical Committee reviewed six documents for adherence to CSI principles, and recommended endorsement of those documents.
“CSI is proud to actively participate in creating contract documents that adhere to CSI technical principles and benefit our members,” CSI Executive Director Walter T. Marlowe, P.E., CSI, CAE, said. “CSI’s participation with the ConsensusDOCS coalition aligns nicely with our mission of advancing building information management and education of project teams to improve facility performance. We look forward to continuing our work with the coalition on behalf of the CSI membership.”
“CSI’s contributions as an organization of design and construction professionals interested in improving facility performance further diversify an industry-wide effort to get better project results through better contracts,” Executive Director and Counsel of ConsensusDOCS Brian Perlberg said. “Their input helped write a better contractual foundation for today’s evolving design and construction industry.”
ConsensusDOCS will publish revised editions of its core agreement on January 19. CSI has endorsed:
  • ConsensusDOCS 200 – Agreement and General Conditions Between Owner and Constructor
  • ConsensusDOCS 221 – Contractor’s Statement of Qualifications
  • ConsensusDOCS 240 – Agreement Between Owner and Design Professional and General Conditions
  • ConsensusDOCS 420 – Agreement Between Design-Builder and Design Professional and General Conditions
