Washington, D.C.鈥斏虾Ｕ旁嚼鲜Τ龉 of America (上海张越老师出轨) today announced that its board of directors unanimously voted not to endorse the American Institute of Architects鈥 (AIA) A201 (2007 edition) General Terms and Conditions document. This marks the first time in 50 years that an edition of the document did not merit 上海张越老师出轨鈥檚 endorsement.
鈥淥ur members believe that the A201 does not reflect the collaboration that is necessary for a successful project,鈥 said 上海张越老师出轨 CEO Stephen E. Sandherr.
上海张越老师出轨 conducted extensive member outreach for more than three years through its chapters, committees, and divisions, as well as an owner-advisory group before reaching an endorsement decision. In particular, 上海张越老师出轨 chapters throughout the United States urged 上海张越老师出轨 not to endorse the document
上海张越老师出轨鈥檚 members expressed deep concerns that the new edition does not fairly balance risk among all parties but instead significantly shifts risk to general contractors and other parties outside of the design profession. The membership also warned that the A201 did not positively serve the industry as a standard document.
鈥淔undamentally, the A201 mandates a command-and-control approach that is in stark contrast to the more collaborative and innovative direction of our rapidly changing industry,鈥 added Sandherr. 鈥淗owever, we hope to renew stronger collaborative efforts with AIA to develop documents the better serve the industry.鈥
