Contract Documents

When AIA Contract Documents are in force, everyone's interests are in balance. Based on the widely-accepted Microsoft® Word platform, and updated in November 2006, the entirely redesigned AIA Contract Documents software (for Windows OS) lets you create, share, and manage documents with ease. Even the popular AIA Contract Administration and Project Management Forms, the G Forms, can be completed in Word, making it easy for the project team to collaborate at the construction site or wherever they’re located. Given the complexity of today’s design and construction projects, shouldn’t you be using the best contract document tool available? www.aia.org/docs

About AIA Contract Documents

AIA Contract Documents comprise over 100 forms and contracts that define relationships and terms involved in design and construction projects. Prepared by the AIA with the consensus of owners, contractors, attorneys, architects, engineers, and others, the documents have been finely tuned during their 115 year history. As a result, these comprehensive contracts and forms are now widely recognized as the industry standard.

Changes and developments in the building industry sometimes necessitate drafting new contract documents and revising existing ones. When doing so, the AIA abides by certain Drafting Principles and follows a Revision Policy to ensure that AIA Contract Documents maintain consistently high standards while still adapting to current trends and practices.

Documents Organization

The AIA organizes contract documents by two methods. The first method groups documents by 'families' based on types of projects or particular project delivery methods. The second method groups documents by 'series' based on the use of the document.

History Of Contract Documents

The AIA publishes more than 80 contracts and administrative forms that are recognized throughout the design and construction industry as the benchmark documents for managing transactions and relationships involved in construction projects.
