I want to set a lump sum price for a design-build agreement, but I don’t see a two-step contract where I can first agree to some preliminary design work and then agree on the final construction cost.

The ConsensusDocs 400 is a design-build contract that helps develop the design-build project to schematic design (or another benchmark might be roughly 30% of the overall design of the project). Then the ConsensusDocs 415 provide an agreement with a lump sum firm fixed price.

I’ve purchased my subscription. Why can’t I access my contracts?

Following the purchase or renewal of a subscription, you must ‘assign’ the subscription in your Dashboard for it to be activated. You can do this by updating the “Manage Licenses” section of your “My Subscriptions” page.

Once that happens you should gain access to all available contracts within your subscription.

Is there a change order form for the ConsensusDocs design professional agreements – ConsensusDocs 240, 245, 250, or 420?

No, ConsensusDocs does not offer a change order form for its design professional agreements. If there is a change in scope of services or contract price for design professionals, parties may consider creating an amendment to their agreements.
