When To Use
Use C104™ when an owner wants to engage a third-party representative to assist with project oversight and decision-making in an advisory capacity. This document is suitable for any size project or payment method.
What It Does
C104 is a standard form agreement between the owner and the owner’s representative. The owner’s representative assists the owner in an advisory capacity on matters that impact the project during project initiation, design, procurement, and construction. The owner’s representative’s basic services include consulting with the owner during all phases of the project, assisting in developing and monitoring the owner’s budget and schedule, attending project meetings, preparing monthly reports, and coordinating final project close-out activities.
Additional Information
C104 places limitations on the owner's representative's authority to act on the owner's behalf. Users should consult an attorney before designating a C104 representative as the owner's representative in any other AIA standard form agreement, as those agreements may assign full authority.
