In celebration of ConsensusDoc's 10th Anniversary, NASBP’s CEO, Mark H. McCallum, recently described NASBP’s involvement with ConsensusDocs and why ConsensusDocs is important for the surety industry and surety professionals who are working directly with construction firms. View the video of the interview.

As a reminder to the NASBP membership, ConsensusDocs was created when industry leaders came together in 2007 to create best practice standards, because they saw a need to offer the industry the means to build a better way. For over 10 years this group of 40+ organizations has focused on developing standardized contracts representing all parties involved in a construction project--owners, general contractors, designers, subcontractors and more. From a change order, purchase order, or prequalification agreement to lump sum or guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contracts, the ConsensusDocs coalition looks out for the industry and strives to offer the best standardized contracts in the industry. View the playlist of videos from other representatives from ConsensusDocs endorsing organizations. 

The ConsensusDocs catalog of contracts has grown from 70 to over 100 standard contracts and in this 10-year period has established a track record of success with billions of dollars of construction put in place using ConsensusDocs contracts. To view the new ConsensusDOCS Contracts Catalogue, updated with the new web platform, click here.
