What is the title of the standard form for Owner and Construction Manager as Adviser?

• A. AIA B-series Owner-Architect Agreements
• B. Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager as Adviser
• C. AIA E201, Data Exchange
• D. G-Contract Admin and PM Forms

Answer: (B)

The key idea is recognizing the exact contract form that documents a deal where the owner hires a construction manager to advise, rather than to act as the builder. The title in question is the Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager as Adviser. This specific form in the AIA library defines the relationship where the construction manager provides advisory services to the owner during design and preconstruction and, if engaged, to support procurement and coordination, but does not assume the construction contractorship or the role of a general contractor responsible for delivering the project.

Understanding this distinction helps: the owner retains primary control over design decisions and construction procurement, while the adviser helps with constructability input, budget and schedule advisory work, and procurement strategy. The form formalizes roles, responsibilities, compensation for advisory services, and how the adviser interacts with other parties (like the architect) within the project.

Other options point to different documents or purposes. The owner-architect agreement form governs the design professional relationship, not the owner–construction manager adviser relationship. Data exchange documents relate to information flow rather than contract terms. A collection of contract administration and project management forms covers admin tools, not a standalone owner–adviser agreement.
