A132 is which type of agreement?

• A. IPD agreement
• B. Owner-CM (constructor) agreement
• C. Architect-Consultant agreement
• D. Owner-contractor agreement when CM as-adviser or CM as-agent

Answer: (D)

A132 describes an owner-contractor arrangement where the Construction Manager serves as adviser or as agent to the owner rather than acting as the constructor. In this setup, the owner signs a contract with the contractor for the actual construction work, while the Construction Manager provides advisory services, coordination, cost estimating, procurement support, and other preconstruction or oversight tasks on behalf of the owner. This distinguishes it from models where the Construction Manager is the constructor (CM at risk) or where the delivery method is integrated with all parties contractually aligned.

The other options don’t fit because:

• An IPD agreement involves a single, truly integrated contract among owner, architect, and contractor with shared risk/reward, not a traditional owner-contractor setup with a CM acting as adviser.

• An owner-CM (constructor) agreement would place the CM in the role of the builder themselves, not merely as adviser or agent.

• An Architect-Consultant agreement is between the owner and design professionals, not between the owner and the constructor with CM as adviser or agent.
