In July 2010, five leading construction industry associations joined the ConsensusDOCS coalition:

• American Society of Professional Estimators (ASPE)
• Construction Specifications Institute (CSI)
• Door and Hardware Institute (DHI)
• National Ground Water Association (NGWA)
• Women Construction Owners & Executives, USA (WCOE)

With the addition of these organizations, ConsensusDOCS continues to expand the participation of DOCS – design professionals, owners, contractors, subcontractors and other industry-related stakeholders.

ConsensusDOCS documents are the only standard contract documents endorsed by numerous leading construction industry associations, including the National Association of Surety Bond Producers.

The ConsensusDOCS web site offers many resources to learn more about the documents and how they can benefit surety professionals and their clients in the process of contract negotiation. To learn more go to:

• Free audio conferences
• Legal Comparisons of ConsensusDOCS
• Industry articles by industry experts
• Guides about specific ConsensusDOCS documents
• Why owners benefit from using ConsensDOCS for their projects
• Project histories and testimonials

NASBP is an endorsing organization of the ConsensusDOCS coalition, an unprecedented effort by 28 other industry organizations to identify industry best practices and to incorporate such practices in a new generation of consensus industry standard form documents.
