The best way for several knowledgeable parties to negotiate a contract is to list, discuss and resolve all the business issues with each other, and then to turn those conclusions over to a lawyer to draft the agreement and spot potential additional issues. This is especially true when a contractor/ developer/ architectural/engineering firm and the commercial brokers for the tenant BTS company are teaming up to perform a design-build project. In design build, there is no one "standard" way for the design-build team to function, and even the way services are provided differs from traditional construction projects. It is important to consider all these issues and to discuss them thoroughly.
