When To Use
Use C171™ when an owner needs to hire a program manager to oversee a single project or portfolio of projects on the owner's behalf. This document is suitable for any size project or payment method.
What It Does
C171 is a standard form agreement between the owner and the program manager. The program manager assists the owner in an advisory capacity during design and construction. The program manager’s basic services include:
- creating a program management plan to describe the scope of the program and related requirements
- managing program-related information across multiple projects in the program
- developing a program-wide budget and schedule; and establishing quality control guidelines
Additional Information
Unlike the CMa family, where the Construction Manager shares some responsibilities with the architect, the program manager under C171 does not have shared responsibilities with other project participants.
