Contract Documents Update as of May 2008
The AIA will release four new Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) agreements on May 15th at the AIA National Convention. Key principles of the integrated project delivery process include early involvement of the architect, owner and contractor and effective collaboration and open information sharing by all members of the project team. These IPD agreements are an important addition to the AIA Contract Documents suite and affirm AIA’s leading role in the design and construction industry and its mission to foster collaboration and help architects, contractors and owners achieve efficiencies on the projects and maximize information sharing among all members of their project team.
Contract Documents Update as of November 2007
On November 5, 2007 the AIA officially launches the 2007 Update to AIA Contract Documents®. The Update includes revisions to A201-1997, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, and to all of the owner/contractor and owner/architect agreements in the A201 Family of Documents. Also provided are updates to contractor/subcontractor and architect/consultant agreements, and revisions to the Small Projects Family of Documents. The Update also includes a new AIA Contract Documents software feature that allows parties to execute AIA agreements and forms using digital signatures.
Owner/architect and owner/contractor agreements in the 2007 Update are coordinated to match the size and complexity of the project in a more targeted way than in previous versions of AIA documents. The Update includes B101-2007, Agreement Between Owner and Architect, which replaces B141-1997 and B151-1997 as the flagship agreement for large projects. It also includes two entirely new owner/architect agreements: one for the large and complex project, and another for the mid-size project. Each owner/architect agreement is written to coordinate with a corresponding owner/contractor agreement that is also matched to the project’s size and complexity.
In addition to live educational programs presented to local components, the AIA will provide educational materials on www.aia.org to assist document users in adapting to the revised agreements, as well at to a new numbering system for AIA documents, also being introduced. Black line comparatives for agreements will show revisions to the 1997 agreements, and commentaries will provide background information on the meaning of text in A201 and in owner/architect agreements.
If you’re a current AIA Contract Documents software user, you’ll be able to access all of the documents in the 2007 Update via a free download from www.aia.org during the last week of October 2007. Paper users will find the revised documents at their local distributors at the same time.
