EJCDC® E-581, Agreement Between Owner, Design Engineer, and Peer Reviewers for Peer Review of Design is intended for the engagement of one or more peer reviewers to review and comment on the Engineer’s design. Such peer reviews are sometimes required by lenders, grant agencies, and project owners as a means of assuring the adequacy of the design and are useful to Owner and Engineer in identifying design elements that need further analysis, revision, or improvement prior to finalization of the design and the ensuing construction.
EJCDC® E-581, Agreement Between Owner, Design Engineer, and Peer Reviewers for Peer Review of Design, 2024 Edition is a comprehensive update of the EJCDC professional services agreement for peer review but remains consistent with the overall content, risk allocation, and philosophical approach of the document’s prior version. User guidance and formats have been updated for ease of use and consistency with EJCDC’s other professional services agreements.
