Prefabrication and Modular Contracting Pitfalls – ConsensusDocs to the Rescue
Prefabrication and modular construction have changed the industry in more ways than just increasing its efficiency, safety, quality, and speed. They demand a complete re-write of your standard construction contract! Prefabrication and modular construction often include both off-site manufacturing of building components as well as the installation of those components into an ongoing project. Standard Subcontracts or Purchase Orders do not address unique legal aspects raised by prefabrication, and consequently, you are putting your project at risk if these risks go unaddressed. However, ConsensusDocs has just completed work on the first-in-the-nation General Contractor/Prefabricator Agreement which specifically and properly addresses prefab operations and implementation. You will learn how your current contracts and purchase orders fail to address key new risks that arise with prefab, and why the industry’s first standard form is critically needed. This session will highlight the most important issues presented by prefabricated construction, best practices for solving these issues, and how to tailor the industry-first standard prefabricated contract to fit your specific business and project needs.
