Multi-Party Integrated Project Delivery Agreement - 300

The Owner, Design Professional, and Constructor (aka builder, general contractor, design-builder, construction manager) all sign the same agreement, making this an integrated form of agreement (IFOA). This agreement incorporates Lean principles such as pull planning, pull scheduling, A-3 thinking, target cost, estimated maximum cost, target value design (TVD), TVD clusters, target value clusters, and a risk pool plan (to share risks and rewards). A core team at both the project management and project development levels is created to make consensus-based project decisions to increase project efficiency and results. Each project participant signs a joining agreement, which can be accomplished with the ConsensusDocs 396. Parties are classified into two categories: Risk Pool and Joining Members. Risk Pool members are at a higher risk and reward level than Joining Members.
