Give this one a try later!
, Yes — per A201 §3.4.2, the Contractor may propose substitutions after
contract award, but only if:
• It offers equal or better quality and does not affect design intent.
• It provides cost or time savings.
• It includes supporting data (performance, testing, warranties).
The Architect reviews and, if approved by the Owner, issues a Change
Order (if cost/time affected) or a Minor Change (if not).
Exam Tip:
Contractor can propose — Architect and Owner must approve before it
becomes part of the Contract Documents.

Owner's Builder's Risk Insurance?

CGL (Contractor): Covers third-party injuries or property damage from
construction operations.
→ Example: a passerby is injured or a nearby car is damaged.
→ Owner & Architect must be named as additional insureds.
• Builder's Risk (Owner): Covers the building under construction against fire,
theft, weather, vandalism, or similar physical loss.
→ Example: a storm damages partially built work.
Exam Tip:
CGL = liability to others
Builder's Risk = damage to the work
Professional Liability = design errors
