Case Study: General Motors achieves faster, waste-reduced EV battery plant delivery with Taft Law's IPD solution

General Motors builds a $2.3 billion Ultium Cells plant with Taft Law

The customer, General Motors, faced the challenge of constructing a nearly three-million-square-foot, $2.3 billion battery cell manufacturing facility. This ambitious project was critical to GM's vision for an all-electric future but came with complexities and a need to maximize value while minimizing waste. Taft Law was engaged to provide legal services for the project's Lean Construction & Integrated Project Delivery.

Taft Law developed a ground-breaking ConsensusDocs 300 IPD Agreement that created a synergistic process between the project contractors. This innovative agreement was designed to eliminate waste and increase the speed of delivery. As a result, construction progress was made toward these two vital outcomes, helping to advance General Motors toward its goal of an all-electric, zero-emissions future.
