The ConsensusDocs 746 Geotechnical Consultant Agreement is a specialized standard contract designed to address the unique responsibilities and services provided by Geotechnical Consultants on construction projects. It establishes a clear, professional agreement between a Constructor—including builders, general contractors, design-builders, and construction managers—and the geotechnical expert involved in site analysis and subsurface investigation.

This industry-endorsed agreement outlines the scope of geotechnical services, including the preparation and delivery of technical reports, soil analysis, site evaluations, and foundation recommendations. It also covers key project elements such as the standard of care, payment terms, and timeline for performance, helping both parties align expectations and reduce misunderstandings.

By using the ConsensusDocs 746, constructors can ensure they receive high-quality, timely geotechnical information critical to the success of their projects, while consultants are provided with a fair, consistent framework to deliver services.

Although the reality of the marketplace continues to limit the ability of most contractors and subcontractors to effectively negotiate changes in the form contracts, ConsensusDocs offers the industry a more effective way to fairly allocate the risks and thereby reduce the number of claims arising from a project. ConsensusDocs offer the industry the best opportunity for a project to be completed on time and on budget, an outcome that benefits everyone on the project rather than just one stakeholder.
