ConsensusDOCS® Inquiry: Have any of your clients used ConsensusDOCS documents on their construction projects?

The ConsensusDOCS® has asked the coalition members, which includes NASBP, to poll their members to assess if they have used ConsensusDOCS on their projects. NASBP would like to know if your construction clients have used any of the ConsensusDOCS documents, which includes a library of more than 90 standard form contract documents listed at consensusdocs.org. Since the Coalition officially formed in September of 2007, the ConsensusDOCS Coalition continues to grow in coalition members. If your clients have used ConsensusDOCS documents on their projects, provide NASBP the name of the contractor, the project and the ConsensusDOCS document title (or the ConsensusDOCS document number) used on the project to Kathy Hoffman at khoffman@nasbp.org or 202-464-1175.
