Presentation transcript:

Project Relationships Many relationships on a project Owner-builder contract Employee-employer contract General contractor-subcontractor Principal-agent Principal- Independent Sale of Goods (UCC governs)

Agency Principal Agent (arch/engr) appoint consent Independent (contractor) (Owner) appoint consent Agency represents complicated control but commercial necessity. Best choice from among several “bad choices” Agents have special duties (fiduciary obligations) not typical in independent contracts

Agency Agents must act in best interest of principal (hard to measure and enforce) Agent’s authority should be in writing Agent protected by reasonableness standard and custom/usage doctrines Apparent authority allows agent to bind independents (sort of) Agency contracts exist for specific time and purpose Agency causes many lawsuits in construction

Project Relationships Principal-Agent Owner-architect/engineer Owner- construction manager Architect, engineer, construction manager, are agents of the owner (principal) Must act in the best interest of the owner Agents have a fiduciary responsibility

Project Relationships Principal-Independent More arm’s length than agent contract Sole responsibility clauses Principal not responsible for actions of the independent Principal cannot specify means and methods Independent need not act in best interest of the principal
