AIA Document B101™–2017, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, is the “flagship” 2017 document upon which the other owner-architect agreements are based. B101–2017 is a one-part document that has been designed to replace B101™–2007.
B101–2017 is the core document on which three other owner-architect agreements are based, each tailored to the complexity of the Project. These agreements are:
B103™–2017, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Complex Project;
B104™–2017, Standard Abbreviated Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect; and
B105™–2017, Standard Short Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect
For those with a need to combine terms and conditions with a specific scope of services, AIA Document B102™–2017, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect without a Predefined Scope of Architect’s Services, may be used.
B102 provides agreement terms only and does not provide a scope of Architect’s services. Standard scopes of services that may be paired with B102 include:
B201, Design, and Construction Contract Administration
B202, Programming
B203, Site Evaluation, and Project Feasibility
B204, Value Analysis
B205, Historic Preservation
B207, On-Site Project Representation
