Synopsis.
AIA Document B207–2017 establishes the architect’s scope of services when the architect provides an on-site project representative during a project’s construction phase. B207 provides for agreement on the number of architect’s representatives to be stationed at the project site, a schedule for the on-site representation, and the services that the on-site representative will perform.
The on-site representative’s services include attending job-site meetings, monitoring the contractor’s construction schedule, observing systems and equipment testing, preparing a log of activities at the site, and maintaining on-site records. The owner will provide an on-site office for the architect’s on-site representative. B207 is a scope of services document only and may not be used as a stand-alone owner/architect agreement. For use and execution of a document, see its instructions »
Purpose.
AIA Document B207–2017 provides the Architect’s scope of services for On-Site Project Representation in a standard form that the Owner and Architect can modify to suit the needs of the Project. B207–2017 is not a stand-alone document and to become effective it must be incorporated into an owner-architect agreement where the architect provides construction administration services. It may be incorporated into any owner-architect agreement when the agreement is executed or used with AIA Document G802™–2017, Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement, to create a modification to any owner-architect agreement.
