Prepared by the Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC).

The EJCDC® D-700, Standard General Conditions—Design-Build (2026), is a comprehensive and industry-standard document tailored for design-build projects. It establishes clear roles, responsibilities, and risk allocations between Owners and Design-Builders, ensuring efficient project management, legal compliance, and successful collaboration. Covering critical aspects such as contract documents, site conditions, bonds and insurance, payments, changes, claims, and dispute resolution, it provides a solid foundation for streamlined project delivery. With detailed guidance notes and user instructions for customization, the document is ideal for professionals seeking a reliable and adaptable solution backed by leading engineering and construction organizations.

EJCDC includes the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Council of Engineering Companies, the National Society of Professional Engineers, and the participation of more than fifteen other professional engineering design, construction, owner, legal, and risk management organizations.

EJCDC documents are delivered in Microsoft Word format (file extension *.doc). Microsoft Word is required if you wish to edit the files.
