Seasoned Construction Attorneys See Value in ConsensusDocs
Builders assess their risk and set their prices accordingly. Don Gregory, legal counsel for subcontractors and other industry practitioners for more than 40 years, recommends that Subcontractors condition their bids on an unmodified ConsensusDocs subcontract.
This was one of the nuggets from a recent Strafford webinar on which three seasoned construction attorneys presented on Understanding ConsensusDocs Construction Contracts: What Lawyers Need to Know.
Each presenter focused on one perspective: the owner’s (David Scotti), the general contractor’s (Phil Beck), and the subcontractor’s (Don Gregory). Their conclusions on which documents and provisions to focus upon differed. But each concluded that ConsensusDocs is an extremely helpful tool for better project outcomes.
