ConsensusDocs 703 is a standardized form contract developed for the purchase of complex or custom-fabricated goods used in construction projects. Unlike standard commodity goods—which are not uniquely fabricated and are covered under ConsensusDocs 702—this form is intended for goods that are tailored to specific project requirements and may require on-site labor for installation.

This agreement clearly outlines the terms and conditions for the sale, delivery, and installation of such goods, ensuring that all parties—whether the Constructor (such as a general contractor, builder, construction manager, or design-builder), distributor, or manufacturer—have a defined understanding of their roles and responsibilities.

ConsensusDocs 703 incorporates construction contract best practices, helping to manage legal risk by assigning liability and control appropriately. It is structured to support smooth coordination and communication between all stakeholders involved in the procurement and implementation of project-specific construction materials or systems.

Key Features of ConsensusDocs 703:

Tailored for purchasing custom or complex construction goods
Covers detailed terms for sale, shipping, delivery, and installation
Coordinates responsibilities between Constructor, distributor, and manufacturer
Assigns risk and liability based on each party’s control
Follows established construction law best practices

Whether you’re acquiring specialized HVAC units, custom-fabricated steel, or advanced building systems, ConsensusDocs 703 ensures that every aspect of the transaction is clearly documented and legally sound.

ConsensusDocs is about much more than just producing model documents — it’s about changing the way that the construction industry thinks about contracts and contract negotiation. The question is: Where should negotiations start? The ConsensusDocs documents are a good answer for contractors and subcontractors. Early on, ConsensusDocs made a decision that its process for developing contract language for the industry would be transparent and inclusive and their collaborative approach may also inspire others to re-think the old, stereotyped ‘push risk to the weakest party’ approach to negotiating contracts.
