List: Document Synopses by Family

AIA Contract Documents are grouped into nine families by project type or delivery method:

Conventional (A201 / Design-bid-build)

Construction Manager as Adviser (CMa)

Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc)

Design‐Build

Facility Management

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)

Interiors

International

Small Projects

Digital Practice

Contract Administration and Project Management

Single Family Residential Documents

 

Conventional (A201 / Design-bid-build) Family

Use of the Conventional family of AIA Contract Documents may be appropriate when the owner’s project is divided into separate contracts for design (with the architect) and construction (with one or more contractors). This is the most commonly used family because the documents are suitable for the conventional delivery approach of design‐bid‐build. These documents can be used on small to large projects.

C102-2015 is not limited to use within a single project delivery method and can be used for responses to requests for proposals, design competitions, design‐build competitions or public/private partnerships. C102 provides that one party will serve as the team manager, and that the team manager will enter into separate teaming agreements with each of the team members. There could be one, or multiple, team members. Each would enter into a separate C102 agreement with the team manager. If the team is awarded the project, the team manager will contract directly with the owner for the project. Each team member has a separate agreement with the team manager for services or work to be performed on the project, the terms of which will have been negotiated in advance with an agreement for such services or work, and made a part of C102 as Exhibit A. When the team manager enters into an agreement with the owner for the project, C102 terminates and the agreement between the team manager and team member, attached as Exhibit A, becomes effective.

C103™-2015, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Consultant without a Predefined Scope of Consultant’s Services

AIA Document C103-2015 is a standard form of agreement between owner and consultant that contains terms and conditions, including those related to copyrights and licenses, claims and disputes, termination or suspension, and compensation. C103‐2015 does not include a scope of consultant’s services, which must be inserted in Article 2 or attached as an exhibit. Separation of the scope of services from the owner/consultant agreement allows users the freedom to append alternative scopes of services. AIA scopes of services documents that may be paired with C103-2015 include C201-2015, Standard Form of Consultant’s Services: Land Survey and C202-2015, Standard Form of Consultant’s Services: Geotechnical Engineering.

C104™–2024, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Owner’s Representative

AIA Document C104™–2024 is a standard form agreement between owner and owner’s representative. The owner’s representative assists the owner in an advisory capacity on matters that impact the project during project initiation, design, procurement, and construction. The owner’s representative’s basic services include consulting with the Owner during all phases of the project, assisting in developing and monitoring the Owner’s budget and schedule, attending project meetings, preparing monthly reports, and coordinating final project close-out activities.

C104-2024 places limitations on the owner’s representative’s authority to act on behalf of the owner with respect to the project. Importantly, AIA Contract Documents® publishes many standard form agreements wherein the owner identifies an owner’s representative with full authority to act on behalf of the owner in relation to the project. Because of the limitations set forth in the C104-2024 related to the owner’s representative’s authority to act on behalf of the owner, users should consult with an attorney before designating the C104-2024 owner’s representative as the owner’s representative in any other standard form agreement published by AIA Contract Documents.

C201™-2015, Standard Form of Consultant’s Services: Land Survey

AIA Document C201-2015 establishes the duties and responsibilities of a surveyor when hired as a consultant to a property owner. C201‐2015 allows the users to select between a boundary, topographic, and ALTA/ACSM survey. A boundary survey shows the property’s boundary lines, easements, structures, fences, walls, setback requirements, and zoning classification. A topographic survey, which is often procured as an enhancement of a boundary survey, shows the property’s contours, elevations, utilities, and significant vegetation. If the parties select an ALTA/ACSM survey, the surveyor will perform a survey in accordance with ALTA/ACSM Standards in addition to C201’s boundary survey requirements. C201-2015 is a scope of services document only and may not be used as a stand‐alone agreement. C201‐2015 is intended to be attached as an exhibit to C103-2015, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Consultant without a Predefined Scope of Consultant’s Services.

C171™–2024, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Program Manager

AIA Document C171™–2024 is a standard form agreement between owner and program manager for use on a single project or in a program with more than one project. The program manager assists the owner in an advisory capacity during design and construction. The program manager’s basic services include creating a program management plan to describe the scope of the program and related requirements; managing program-related information across the multiple projects in the program; developing a program-wide budget and schedule; and establishing quality control guidelines.

Unlike in the Construction Manager as Adviser family of documents, where the construction manager has some shared responsibilities with the architect, in C171 the program manager does not have shared responsibilities with other project participants.

C202™-2015, Standard Form of Consultant’s Services: Geotechnical Engineering 

AIA Document C202-2015 establishes the duties and responsibilities of a geotechnical engineer when hired as a consultant to a property owner. C202‐2015 separates the geotechnical engineer’s services into four phases: (1) explorations and testing, (2) preparation of a geotechnical report, (3) design phase services, and (4) construction phase services. In the first phase, the geotechnical engineer prepares a detailed plan of all explorations and tests and performs those explorations and tests according to specified requirements. The second phase includes a detailed list of items the geotechnical engineer will provide in the geotechnical report. The final two phases require the geotechnical engineer to consult with the owner and the owner’s other consultants during design and construction of the project. C202-2015 is a scope of services document only and may not be used as a stand‐alone agreement. C202‐2015 is intended to be attached as an exhibit to C103-2015, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Consultant without a Predefined Scope of Consultant’s Services.

C203™‐2017, Standard Form of Consultant’s Services: Commissioning

An owner can use C203-2017 to hire an architect to perform commissioning services and can also be used to hire commissioning professionals from other backgrounds. C203 includes (1) provisions describing the consultant’s role to assist in preparing the owner’s project requirements, (2) a detailed description of the consultant’s commissioning plan, (3) provisions related to commissioning‐related design reviews, and (4) provisions related to the consultant’s role in commissioning during the construction phase of the project. C203 should be incorporated into an owner/consultant agreement, such as C103‐2015, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Consultant without a Predefined Scope of Consultant’s Services. C203 is a scope of services document only and may not be used as a stand‐alone owner/consultant agreement. AIA Document C203-2017 replaces B211-2007, Standard Form of Architect’s Services: Commissioning. C203 was updated in 2017 as a “C” series document.

C204™-2020, Standard Form of Consultant’s Services: Sustainable Project Services

AIA Document C204–2020 addresses the Consultant’s scope of services to the Owner on a Sustainable Project. The Consultant may be an Architect or non-Architect who specializes in sustainability. The Consultant coordinates aspects such as pursuing Sustainability Certification with the Certifying Authority, conducting the Sustainability Workshop, and preparing a Sustainability Plan while interfacing with the Owner and Architect. As required by the Owner, the Consultant assists during procurement and construction by answering questions related to the Sustainability Plan. C204–2020 is not a stand-alone document but must be attached to an Owner-Consultant Agreement, such as C103™-2015 Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Consultant without a Predefined Scope of Consultant’s Services.

C205™–2024, Standard Form of Consultant’s Services for Regional or Urban Planning

C205–2024 replaces B212™–2010, Standard Form of Architect’s Services: Regional or Urban Planning and includes several notable changes. An owner can still use C205-2024 to hire an architect to perform regional or urban planning services, but it can also be used to hire professionals from other backgrounds to perform these services. This scope provides a menu of choices of regional or urban planning services in four phases: (i) Inventory, Research, and Data Gathering; (ii) Analysis, Assessment, and Recommendation; (iii) Plan Concepts; and (iv) Plan Finalization. The Planner provides only the services that are specifically designated in the list of subsections within each phase.

C205-2024 may be incorporated into any owner-consultant agreement to provide the consultant’s scope of services. It may also be incorporated into any owner-consultant agreement after the agreement is executed with an amendment form to create a modification to the agreement. C205–2024 is a scope of services document only and may not be used as a standalone owner-consultant agreement.

C401™-2017, Standard Form of Agreement Between Architect and Consultant

AIA Document C401-2017 is a standard form of agreement between the architect and the consultant providing services to the architect. C401-2017 is suitable for use with all types of consultants, including consulting architects. This document may be used with a variety of compensation methods. C401-2017 assumes and incorporates by reference a preexisting owner/architect agreement, known as the prime agreement, and “flows down” the provisions.

C402™-2018, Standard Form of Agreement Between Architect and Consultant for Special Services

AIA Document C402-2018 is intended for consultant’s services that are limited in scope and/or do not extend to the construction phase of the project. C402 is appropriate for specialized service descriptions, such as modeling, planning, feasibility studies, post‐occupancy studies, specification writing, kitchen design, hardware schedules, elevators, lighting, fire protection, security systems, and carpet carvers. AIA Document C402-2018 provides only the terms and conditions of the agreement between the architect and the consultant. The description of services is left entirely to the parties and must be inserted in the agreement or attached in an exhibit. This agreement “flows down” only the copyrights and licenses and progress payment provisions of the prime agreement.

C421™-2018, Standard Form of Master Agreement Between Architect and Consultant for Services provided under multiple Service Orders

AIA Document C421-2018 is a master agreement between the architect and consultant intended for use when the consultant’s scope of services will subsequently be specified through the use of one or more service orders. C421 is suitable for use with all types of consultants, including consulting architects. C421‐2018 provides only the common terms and conditions that will be applicable to each service order and may incorporate by reference a preexisting owner‐architect agreement known as the prime agreement. Use of C421 plus a service order creates a contract, referred to as the service agreement, that includes both the terms and the scope of services. C421‐2018 is coordinated for use with C422-2018, Service Order for use with Master Agreement Between Architect and Consultant. The master agreement plus service order contracting method allows multiple scopes of services to be issued quickly without the necessity to renegotiate the terms and conditions of the service agreements.

C422™-2018, Service Order for use with Master Agreement Between Architect and Consultant

AIA Document C422-2018 provides the consultant’s scope of services, and other terms pertinent to a specific service order. It is intended for use when the architect and consultant have entered into a master agreement setting forth the common terms and conditions applicable to all service orders. C422-2018 is not a stand‐alone agreement and must be used in conjunction with a master agreement. Additionally, C422‐2018 incorporates by reference a preexisting owner‐architect agreement known as the prime agreement. C422‐2018 is coordinated for use with C421-2018, Master Agreement Between Architect and Consultant for Services provided under Multiple Service Orders. This document may be used with a variety of compensation methods. Use of C422 plus a master agreement creates a contract, referred to as the service agreement, that includes both the terms and the scope of services. The master agreement plus a service order contracting method allows multiple scopes of services to be issued quickly without the necessity to renegotiate the terms and conditions of the service agreements.

E204™-2017, Sustainable Projects Exhibit

AIA Document E204-2017, Sustainable Projects Exhibit, has been developed for use on a wide variety of sustainable projects, including those in which the sustainable objective includes obtaining a Sustainability Certification, such as LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), or those in which the sustainable objective is based on incorporation of performance‐based sustainable design or construction elements. E204-2017 addresses the risks, responsibilities and opportunities unique to projects involving substantial elements of sustainable design and construction (sustainable projects). E204-2017 is not a stand‐alone document, but is intended to be attached as an exhibit to an existing agreement on a project that includes a sustainable objective. E204-2017 is intended to replace the sustainable projects documents included in the Conventional (A201) family of AIA Contract Documents.

E205™-2022, Architects’ Scope and Responsibility Matrix

AIA Document E205-2022 is an exhibit that is intended to be used in situations where a Design Architect and Architect of Record perform services concurrently on a project. E205–2022 is not a stand-alone document and must be attached to an agreement as an exhibit. E205–2022 contains standard architectural services and a responsibility matrix where the parties can indicate the degree of responsibility each architect will have for each service.

Refer to AIA Document B511-2022, Guide for Projects Involving a Design Architect and Architect of Record for more information.

 

Construction Manager as Adviser (CMa) Family

Use of the Construction Manager as Adviser (CMa) family of AIA Contract Documents may be appropriate when the owner’s project incorporates a fourth prime player—the construction manager— on the construction team (owner, architect and contractor) to act as an independent adviser on construction management matters through the course of both design and construction. The Construction Manager as Adviser (CMa) approach enhances the level of expertise applied to managing a project from start to finish. In its purest form, this approach preserves the CMa’s independent judgment, keeping that individual from being influenced by any monetary interest in the actual labor and materials incorporated in the construction work. Documents in the CMa family can be used on small to large public and private sector projects.

A132™-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition

AIA Document A132-2019 is a standard form of agreement between owner and contractor for use on projects where the basis of payment is either a stipulated sum (fixed price) or cost of the work plus a fee, with or without a guaranteed maximum price. In addition to the contractor and the architect, a construction manager assists the owner in an advisory capacity during design and construction. Typically, there will be more than one prime contractor on these types of projects. The document has been prepared for use with A232-2019, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition; B132-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition; and C132-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager as Adviser. This integrated set of documents is appropriate for use on projects where the construction manager only serves in the capacity of an adviser to the owner, rather than as constructor.

A232™-2019, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition

AIA Document A232-2019 sets forth the rights, responsibilities, and relationships of the owner, contractor, construction manager and architect. A232-2019 is adopted by reference in owner/architect, owner/contractor, and owner/construction manager agreements in the CMa family of documents. Under A232-2019, the construction manager serves as an independent adviser to the owner, who enters into multiple contracts with prime trade contractors. Caution: Do not use A232-2019 in combination with agreements where the construction manager takes on the role of constructor, such as in AIA Document A133-2019 or A134-2019.

B132™-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition

AIA Document B132-2019 is a standard form of agreement between owner and architect for use on building projects where construction management services are to be provided under a separate contract with the owner. It is coordinated with AIA Document C132-2019, an owner/construction manager as adviser agreement, where the construction manager is an independent adviser to the owner throughout the course of the project. Both B132-2019 and C132-2019 are based on the premise that there will be multiple construction contractors whose contracts with the owner will be administered by the construction manager and the architect under AIA Document A232-2019, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition. 

C132™-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager as Adviser

AIA Document C132-2019 provides the agreement between the owner and the construction manager, a single entity who is separate and independent from the architect and the contractor, and who acts as an adviser (CMa) to the owner throughout the course of the project, beginning in the preconstruction phase. C132-2019 is coordinated for use with B132-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition. Both C132-2019 and B132-2019 are based on the premise that there will be multiple construction contractors whose contracts with the owner will be administered by the construction manager and the architect under AIA Document A232-2019. AIA Document C132-2019 is not coordinated with, and should not be used with, documents where the construction manager acts as the constructor for the project.

E235™-2019, Sustainable Projects Exhibit, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition

AIA Document E235-2019, Sustainable Projects Exhibit, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition, has been developed for use on sustainable projects when there is a construction manager as an adviser to the owner as a project participant. E235-2019 is based on E204‐2017 but it has been tailored to address the risks, responsibilities, and opportunities unique to projects involving substantial elements of sustainable design and construction when there is a construction manager involved as an additional party. E235-2019 is not a stand‐alone document, but is intended to be attached as an exhibit to an existing AIA construction management as adviser agreement on a project that includes a sustainable objective. E235-2019 is intended to replace the sustainable projects documents included in the Construction Manager as Adviser family of AIA Contract Documents.

G731™-2019, Change Order, Construction Manager Adviser Edition

AIA Document G731-2019 is for implementing changes in the work agreed to by the owner, contractor, construction manager adviser, and architect. Execution of a completed G731-2019 indicates agreement upon all the terms of the change, including any changes in the contract sum (or guaranteed maximum price) and contract time. It provides space for the signatures of the owner, contractor, construction manager adviser, and architect, and for a complete description of the change.

G732™-2019, Application and Certificate for Payment, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition

AIA Document G732-2019 serves the same purpose as G702-1992. The standard form AIA Document G703-1992, Continuation Sheet, is appropriate for use with G732-2019.

G733™-2019, Construction Change Directive, Construction Manager Adviser Edition

AIA Document G733-2019 serves the same purpose as AIA Document G714-2017, except that this document expands responsibility for signing construction change directives to include both the architect and the construction manager.

G734™-2019, Certificate of Substantial Completion, Construction Manager Adviser Edition

AIA Document G734-2019 serves the same purpose as AIA Document G704-2017, except that this document expands responsibility for certification of substantial completion to include both the architect and the construction manager. G734 is also tailored to the project where there is more than one prime contractor.

G736™-2009, Project Application and Project Certificate for Payment, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition

Use G736-2009 with AIA Document G737-2009, Summary of Contractors’ Applications for Payment. These forms are designed for a project where a construction manager is employed as an adviser to the owner, but not as a constructor, and where multiple contractors have separate, direct agreements with the owner. Each contractor submits separate G732 and G703 payment application forms to the construction manager‐adviser, who collects and compiles them to complete G736-2009. AIA Document G737-2009 serves as a summary of the contractors’ applications with totals being transferred to G736-2009. The construction manager‐adviser can then sign G736, have it notarized, and submit it along with the G737 to the architect. Both the architect and the construction manager must certify the payment amount. 

G737™-2009, Summary of contractors’ Applications for Payment, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition

Use AIA Document G736-2009 with G737-2009, Summary of Contractors’ Applications for Payment. These forms are designed for a project where a construction manager is employed as an adviser to the owner, but not as a constructor, and where multiple contractors have separate, direct agreements with the owner. Each contractor submits separate G703 and G732 payment application forms to the construction manager‐adviser, who collects and compiles them to complete AIA Document G736- 2009. AIA Document G737-2009 serves as a summary of the contractors’ applications with totals being transferred to G736. The construction manager‐adviser can then sign G736, have it notarized, and submit it along with the G737 to the architect. Both the architect and the construction manager must certify the payment amount.

 

Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) Family

Use of the Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) family of AIA Contract Documents may be appropriate when the owner’s project employs a construction manager who will complete the construction and also provide construction management services. Under the Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) approach, the functions of contractor and construction manager are merged and assigned to one entity that may or may not give a guaranteed maximum price (GMP), but which typically assumes control over the construction work by direct contracts with the subcontractors. Documents in the CMc family can be used on small to large private sector projects.

A133™-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager as Constructor where the basis of payment is the Cost of the Work Plus a Fee with a Guaranteed Maximum Price

AIA Document A133-2019 is intended for use on projects where a construction manager, in addition to serving as adviser to the owner during the preconstruction phase, also provides construction of the project with a guaranteed maximum price. The construction manager provides the owner with a guaranteed maximum price proposal, which the owner may accept, reject, or negotiate. Upon the owner’s acceptance of the proposal by execution of the Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment (Exhibit A), the construction manager becomes contractually bound to provide labor and materials for the project and to complete construction at or below the guaranteed maximum price. The document divides the construction manager’s services into two phases: the preconstruction phase and the construction phase, portions of which may proceed concurrently in order to fast track the process. A133‐2019 is drafted to be used in conjunction with a new Insurance and Bonds Exhibit (Exhibit B) which is a critical part of the agreement, and should be discussed with legal and insurance counsel. AIA Document A133-2019 is coordinated for use with A201-2017, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, and B133-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, Construction Manager as Constructor Edition.

A134™-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager as Constructor where the basis of payment is the Cost of the Work Plus a Fee without a Guarantee Maximum Price

Similar to A133-2019, AIA Document A134-2019 is intended for use where a construction manager, in addition to serving as adviser to the owner during the preconstruction phase, also provides construction of the project. However, in A134-2019 the construction manager does not provide a guaranteed maximum price (GMP). A134-2019 employs the cost‐plus‐a‐fee method, wherein the owner can monitor cost through periodic review of a control estimate that is revised as the project proceeds. The document divides the construction manager’s services into two phases: the preconstruction phase and the construction phase, portions of which may proceed concurrently in order to fast track the process. A134‐2019 is drafted to be used in conjunction with a new Insurance and Bonds Exhibit (Exhibit A) which is a critical part of the agreement, and should be discussed with legal and insurance counsel. A134-2019 is coordinated for use with AIA Documents A201-2017, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, and B133-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, Construction Manager as Constructor Edition.

A135™ – 2024, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager as Constructor for Collaborative Project Delivery where the basis of payment is the Cost of the Work Plus a Fee with a Guaranteed Maximum Price

AIA Document A135™–2024, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager as Constructor for Collaborative Project Delivery where the basis of payment is the Cost of the Work Plus a Fee with a Guaranteed Maximum Price, and AIA Document B135™–2024, Standard Form Agreement Between Owner and Architect for Collaborative Project Delivery, Construction Manager as Constructor Edition, are intended for use where the parties wish to engage in a more collaborative process than is common in traditional delivery methods. The philosophy behind these documents is to optimize the expertise of the owner, construction manager, and architect throughout the preconstruction and design phases, as well as the construction phase, to the benefit of all and the success of the project through enhanced collaboration. A135 and B135 use the same basic structure and compensation methods as in the standard AIA Construction Manager as Constructor documents while incorporating some IPD principles, such as team management and open communications, to provide the option for more collaboration throughout the project.

B133™-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, Construction Manager as Constructor Edition

AIA Document B133-2019 is a standard form of agreement between owner and architect intended for use on projects where an owner employs a construction manager to act as an adviser during the preconstruction phase. At a time to be mutually agreed upon by the owner and the construction manager, and in consultation with the architect, the construction manager prepares a guaranteed maximum price proposal or control estimate, as applicable, for the owner’s review and acceptance. Thereafter, the construction manager constructs the project on a cost of the work plus a fee basis, either with or without a guaranteed maximum price, and the architect provides contract administration services during the construction phase. B133-2019 assumes that the construction manager will provide cost estimates and schedules for the project. B133-2019 is intended to be used with A201-2017, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, which it incorporates by reference and either A133-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager as Constructor where the basis of payment is the Cost of the Work Plus a Fee with a Guaranteed Maximum Price or A134-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager as Constructor where the basis of payment is the Cost of the Work Plus a Fee without a Guaranteed Maximum Price.

The philosophy behind these documents is to optimize the expertise of the owner, construction manager, and architect throughout the preconstruction and design phases, as well as the construction phase, to the benefit of all and the success of the project through enhanced collaboration. B135 and A135 use the same basic structure and compensation methods as in the standard AIA Construction Manager as Constructor documents while incorporating some IPD principles, such as team management and open communications, to provide the option for more collaboration throughout the project.

E234™-2019, Sustainable Projects Exhibit, Construction Manager as Constructor Edition

AIA Document E234-2019, Sustainable Projects Exhibit, Construction Manager as Constructor Edition, has been developed for use on sustainable projects when there is a construction manager as constructor as a project participant. E234-2019 is based on E204‐2017 but it has been tailored to address the risks, responsibilities, and opportunities unique to projects involving substantial elements of sustainable design and construction when there is a construction manager involved in the preconstruction phase and also performing the construction. E234-2019 is not a stand‐alone document, but is intended to be attached as an exhibit to an existing AIA construction management as constructor agreement on a project that includes a sustainable objective. E234-2019 is intended to replace the sustainable projects documents included in the Construction Manager as Constructor family of AIA Contract Documents.

 

Design‐Build Family

Use of the Design‐Build family of AIA Contract Documents is appropriate when the project delivery method is design‐build. In design‐build project delivery, the owner enters into a contract with a designbuilder who is obligated to design and construct the project. The design‐builder then enters into contracts with architects and construction contractors, as needed. Design‐build documents can be used on small to large projects.

A141™-2014, Agreement Between Owner and Design‐Builder

AIA Document A141-2014 forms the nucleus of the contract for design-build between the owner and design-builder. The document consists of the agreement portion and Exhibit A, a design-build amendment that is executed when the owner and design-builder have agreed on the contract sum. Additionally, A141-2014 includes two exhibits, Exhibit B, Insurance and Bonds, and Exhibit C, Sustainable Projects. Design-build is a process in which the owner contracts directly with one entity to provide both the design and construction of the project. The design-builder may be a design-build entity, an architect, construction contractor, real estate developer, or any person or entity legally permitted to do business as a design-builder in the jurisdiction where the project is located. The design-builder’s organization may take a variety of legal forms, such as a sole proprietorship, a partnership, a joint venture, or a corporation. An architect or architectural firm choosing to function as a design-builder may directly contract to perform design-build services or, alternatively, may form a separate corporate entity or joint venture for design-build. In A141-2014, the owner provides a set of criteria establishing the requirements for the project. Thereafter, the design-builder will review the owner’s criteria, develop a preliminary design and then provide a proposal to the owner regarding the contract sum. Upon mutual agreement, the owner and design-builder will execute the design-build amendment to establish the contract sum and document the information upon which the contract sum is based. The design-build amendment also includes the determination for the cost of the work, if the contract sum is based on a cost of the work with or without a guaranteed maximum price.

A142™-2014, Agreement Between Design‐Builder and Contractor

AIA Document A142-2014, Standard Form of Agreement Between Design-Builder and Contractor consists of the agreement portion and four exhibits: Exhibit A, Terms and Conditions; Exhibit B, Insurance and Bonds; Exhibit C, Preconstruction Services; and Exhibit D, Determination of the Cost of the Work. A142-2014 obligates the contractor to perform the work in accordance with the contract document, which includes A142 with its attached exhibits, supplementary and other conditions, drawings, specifications, addenda, and modifications. Like A141-2014, AIA Document A142-2014 requires the parties to select the payment type from three choices: (1) stipulated sum, (2) cost of the work pus design-builder’s fee, and (3) cost of the work plus design-builder’s fee with a guaranteed maximum price.

A145™-2015, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Design‐Builder for a One or Two Family Residential Project

AIA Document A145-2015 is intended to be used for a one or two family residential project and consists of the agreement portion and Exhibit A, a design-build amendment that is executed when the owner and design-builder have agreed on the contract sum. A145-2015 is a streamlined document developed to meet the needs of residential owners and design-builders. For commercial or multi-family design-build projects, AIA Document A141-2014, Agreement Between Owner and Design-Builder, is more appropriate. Design-build is a project delivery method in which the owner contracts directly with one entity to provide both the design and construction of the project. It is important to recognize that a design-builder assumes responsibility and liability for both the design services and construction work. Prior to entering into this agreement, any person or entity that wishes to act as the design-builder should consult with its legal counsel and insurance advisers. Some states may restrict or prohibit design-build practices under statutes that regulate architectural registration, contractor licensing, or incorporation of professionals. Additionally, federal, state or local law may impose specific requirements on contracts for residential construction. The requirements for single family and two family projects may be different. The owner should consult local authorities or an attorney to verify requirements applicable to this agreement. Although A145 shares some similarities with other documents in the AIA’s Design-Build family, but A145 is not coordinated for use with those documents, and should not be used in tandem without careful side-by-side comparison of contents.

A441™-2014, Standard Form of Agreement Between Contractor and Subcontractor for a Design‐Build Project

AIA Document A441-2014 establishes the contractual relationship between the contractor and subcontractor in a design-build project. A441-2014 incorporates by reference the terms and conditions of AIA Document A142-2014, Standard Form of Agreement Between Design-Builder and Contractor, and was written to ensure consistency with the AIA 2014 Design-Build family of documents. Because subcontractors are often required to provide professional services on a design-build project, A441-2014 provides for that possibility.

B143™-2014, Standard Form of Agreement Between Design‐Builder and Architect

AIA Document B143-2014 establishes the contractual arrangement between the design-builder and the architect. B143 does not provide a fixed scope of architect’s services, but instead includes an extensive menu of services from which the owner and architect may select. B143 can be used for a number of different contractual scenarios that may arise on a design-build project. If the design-build entity lacks the internal capacity to provide architectural services, or is required to separately contract for architectural services by virtue of local license regulations or other legal requirements, the design-build entity can use B143 to enter into an agreement with an architect to perform all of the architectural services on the project. B143 can also be used, however, where the design-builder directly performs some of the architectural services under its agreement with the owner. In this instance, B143 can be used to contract with additional architects that will provide portions of the architectural services. For example, the design-build entity may retain an architect to only provide a preliminary design, while the design-builder will use either a separate architect or its own forces to develop the construction documents and perform contract administration services. 

C141™-2014, Agreement Between Owner and Consultant for a Design‐Build Project 

AIA Document C141-2014 provides a standard form for the upfront services an owner may require when considering design-build delivery.

G744™-2014, Certificate of Substantial Completion for a Design‐Build Project

Because of the nature of design-build contracting, the project owner assumes many of the construction contract administration duties performed by the architect in a traditional project. Because there is not an architect to certify substantial completion, AIA Document G744-2014 requires the owner to inspect the project to determine whether the work is substantially complete in accordance with the design-build document and to identify the date when it occurs. G744-2014 is a variation of document G704 and provides a standard form for the owner to certify the date of substantial completion.

G745™-2015, Change Directive for a Design‐Build Project

AIA Document G745-2015 is a directive for changes in the work for use where the owner and design-builder have not reached an agreement on proposed changes in the contract sum or contract time. G745-2015 was developed as a directive for changes in the work which, if not expeditiously implemented, might delay the project. Upon receipt of a completed G745, the design-builder must promptly proceed with the change in the work described therein, unless the design-builder determines the applicable building codes or other regulatory requirements, including those related to health, safety, and welfare, preclude implementation of the change.

C199 can be used for a contractor that only provides construction services, or it can also be used for a contractor that will provide both preconstruction and construction services. C199 is not intended for use in competitive bidding and relies upon an agreed to contract sum, which can be either a stipulated sum (fixed price) or cost of the work plus a fee, with a guaranteed maximum price. In addition to compensation for the contract sum, C199 allows for the contractor to receive additional profit through incentive compensation and goal achievement compensation.

 

Interiors Family

Use of the Interiors family of AIA Contract Documents is appropriate for furniture, furnishings and equipment (FF&E) procurement services and for FF&E procurement combined with architectural interior design and construction services. The Interiors documents procure FF&E under a contract separate from design services, preserving the architect’s independence from any monetary interest in the sale of those goods. AIA Document B152 may be used as the owner/architect agreement for the design of both FF&E and architectural interiors. AIA Document B153 is not suitable for construction work, such as major tenant improvements, and is used for design services related solely to FF&E. AIA documents in the Interiors family can be used on small to large tenant projects.

A151™-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Vendor for Furniture, Furnishings, and Equipment (FF&E)

AIA Document A151-2019 is a stand-alone agreement intended for situations where a vendor will provide a large amount, or perhaps even all, of the furnishings, furniture, and equipment (FF&E) for a project. A151 is an agreement for the sale of goods and is governed by the law of the place where the project is located, including the jurisdiction’s Uniform Commercial Code as adopted. In A151, the vendor not only sells and delivers FF&E, it also is responsible for incidental onsite work such as placing, assembling, and installing the FF&E. A151 includes vendor insurance requirements and requires the vendor to coordinate its work with the work of others on the project. The owner is required to provide the vendor with access to the project, storage space, and areas to perform the work. In situations where the vendor will not perform onsite work, the parties should consider using AIA Document A152-2019, Purchase OrderA151-2019 replaces documents A151-2007 and A251-2007.

A152™-2019, Purchase Order

AIA Document A152-2019 is a purchase order agreement intended for situations where a purchaser will buy goods from a vendor. A152 is an agreement for the sale of goods and is governed by the law of the place where the project is located, including the jurisdiction’s Uniform Commercial Code as adopted. A152 can be used to buy nearly any kind of goods. In A152, the vendor is responsible for selling goods to the purchaser and, unless otherwise agreed, delivering the goods to the project site. A152 allows the parties to enter a description of the goods, identify the price and payment terms, and add delivery requirements. In situations where the vendor will perform onsite work, such as assembly or installation, the parties should use a different agreement, such as an owner/contractor agreement or A151-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Vendor for Furniture, Furnishings, and Equipment (FF&E), as appropriate. A152 is drafted to be used in conjunction with A152-2019, Exhibit A, Terms and Conditions.

A751-2019, Invitation and Instructions to Vendors for Quotations for Furniture, Furnishings, and Equipment (FF&E)

AIA Document A751-2019 should be used in situations where an owner intends to solicit competitive quotations from vendors for furniture, furnishings, and equipment (FF&E) for a project. Coordinated with document A151-2019, Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Vendor for Furniture, Furnishings, and Equipment (FF&E), A751 provides instructions for a prospective vendor to follow when preparing and submitting a quotation. A751 allows the owner to specify: (1) the quotation documents upon which a prospective vendor will base its quotation, (2) the manner in which a prospective vendor is required to submit a quotation, and (3) the proposed contract documents that will form the agreement between the prospective vendor and owner. A751 also includes restrictions and procedures for a prospective vendor to withdraw or modify its quotation, if necessary.

B152™-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for Interior Design and Furniture, Furnishings, and Equipment (FF&E) Design Services

AIA Document B152-2019 is a standard form of agreement between owner and architect for interior design and furniture, furnishings, and equipment (FF&E) design services. B152-2019 requires the architect to provide programming services and basic services, which include schematic design, design development, construction documents, FF&E documents, construction procurement, FF&E procurement, construction contract administration, and FF&E contract administration. B152-2019 has been structured so architects providing only interior design services or only FF&E design services can easily redact the services they are not performing. This agreement may be used with a variety of compensation methods, including percentage of the budget for construction cost and stipulated sum. B152-2019 is intended to be used in conjunction with A151-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Vendor and A104-2017, Standard Abbreviated Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor.

B252™‐2019, Standard Form of Architect’s Services: Interior Design and Furniture, Furnishings, and Equipment (FF&E) Design Services

AIA Document B252-2019 provides the architect’s scope of services for interior design and furniture, furnishings, and equipment (FF&E) design. The services set forth in B252-2019 parallel those in document B152-2019 and thus requires the architect to provide programming services and basic services, which include schematic design, design development, construction documents, FF&E documents, construction procurement, FF&E procurement, construction contract administration, and FF&E contract administration. B252-2019 may be used in two ways: (1) incorporated into the owner/architect agreement as the architect’s sole scope of services or in conjunction with other scope of services document, or (2) attached to G802-2017, Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement, to create a modification to an existing owner/architect agreement. B252-2019 is a scope of services document only and may not be used as a stand-alone owner/architect agreement. B252-2019 replaces AIA Document B252-2007.

B253™‐2019, Standard Form of Architect’s Services: Furniture, Furnishings, and Equipment (FF&E) Design Services

AIA Document B253-2019 provides the architect’s scope of services for furniture, furnishings, and equipment (FF&E) design. The services set forth in B253-2019 require the architect to provide programming services and basic services, which include schematic design, design development, FF&E documents, FF&E procurement, and FF&E contract administration. B253-2019 may be used in two ways: (1) incorporated into the owner/architect agreement as the architect’s sole scope of services or in conjunction with other scope of services documents, or (2) attached to G802, Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement, to create a modification to an existing owner/architect agreement. B253-2019 is a scope of services document only and may not be used as a stand-alone owner/architect agreement. B253-2019 replaces AIA Document B253-2007.

B254™‐2019, Standard Form of Architect’s Services: Purchasing Agent Services for Furniture, Furnishings, and Equipment (FF&E)

AIA Document B254-2019 is a scope of services document that should be used in situations where an architect is expected to assist an owner in purchasing furniture, furnishings, and equipment (FF&E) and managing FF&E contracts. B254 can be attached to any owner/architect agreement in which the architect performs FF&E design and selection services, such as B152-2019, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for Interior Design and Furniture, Furnishings, and Equipment (FF&E) Design ServicesB254 is not a stand-alone document and should not be used by itself.

B254 establishes an agency relationship that allows the architect to enter into contracts for FF&E on behalf of the owner. B254 places strict limitations on the architect’s power to act as the owner’s agent. Before entering into contracts with vendors, the architect must provide the owner with the description, prices, and quantities of FF&E to be purchased. In contracts with vendors, the architect is also required to include statements (1) indicating that it is acting as the owner’s purchasing agent regarding such contracts, (2) identifying the owner as the purchaser, and (3) indicating that all warranties and guarantees shall be in the owner’s name. The architect also must keep the owner reasonably informed about FF&E purchased on the owner’s behalf. In exchange, the architect is given the protection of a disclosed agent acting on behalf of a principal, i.e. architect is not responsible for a vendor’s poor performance and is relieved of the owners’ obligations with regards to vendors.

 

International Family

The International family of AIA Contract Documents is for U.S. architects working on projects located in foreign countries. Because U.S. architects usually are not licensed in the foreign country where a project is located, these agreements identify the U.S. architect as a consultant, rather than an architect. AIA documents in the International family can be used on small to large projects.

B161™-2022, Standard Form of Agreement Between Client and Consultant for design consulting services where the Project is located outside the United States

AIA Document B161-2022 is drafted for a U.S. architect (Consultant) who is hired to perform design services for a foreign-based Client and project where the Client retains a local architect in the foreign jurisdiction to prepare Further Design (Construction) Documents based on the Consultant’s Design Development Documents. B161 is not intended for U.S. architects who are licensed in the foreign jurisdiction or who have an office in the foreign jurisdiction. It is anticipated that B161 will be used with private foreign companies, as opposed to foreign governments. The document is intended to clarify the assumptions, roles, responsibilities, and obligations of the parties; to provide a clear, narrative description of services; and to facilitate, strengthen, and maintain the working and contractual relationships among parties. Unlike other AIA documents, no General Conditions are associated with B161. Also, some terms used commonly in domestic, standard form AIA agreements, such as program and construction documents, do not have the same meaning in B161 (however, their modified definition is provided in B161).

Program Management Family

Use of the Program Manager family of AIA Contract Documents may be appropriate when the owner involves one or more additional consultants (Program Manager and/or Design Manager) to assist with program wide design and construction issues. The Program Manager approach enhances the level of expertise applied to managing a program from start to finish.

B171™-2013, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Design Manager for use in a Multiple Project Program

AIA Document B171-2013 is a standard form of agreement between owner and design manager for use in a program with more than one project and where design management services are to be provided under a separate contract with the owner. It is coordinated with document C171-2013, an owner/program manager agreement, where the program manager is an independent adviser to the owner throughout the course of the program. The design manager is required to assist the owner and the program manager in developing and establishing the owner’s program. Additionally, the design manager provides limited architectural services for each project in the program. Upon the development of the program, the design manager is required to develop the design standards, which will provide a functional, aesthetic, and quality framework for the projects in the program. After establishment of the design standards, the design manager performs schematic design and design development architectural services for each project in the program in order to develop a transfer package that the owner can provide to the architect(s) of record for each project in the program. Both, B171-2013 and C171-2013 are based on the premise that one or more separate architects of record and construction contractor’s will also contract with the owner for final design and construction of each project. 

B172™-2013, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for Architect of Record Services

AIA Document B172-2013 provides the agreement between the owner and the architect of record, an entity who is separate and independent from the program manager and design manager, and who acts as a project specific architect. B172-2013 is coordinated for use with C171-2013, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Program Manager for use in a Multiple Project Program, and B171-2013, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Design Manager for use in a Multiple Project Program. The architect of record is responsible for preparation of the construction document, based on criteria received from the owner in a “transfer package”, and related design and bidding phase services, and administration of the owner/contractor agreement on a project by project basis. B172-2013 may also, with some modifications, be appropriate for use in other circumstances where an architect is asked to prepare construction Document based on the preliminary design work of another, and to provide related bidding and contract administration services for a project.

C171™–2024, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Program Manager

AIA Document C171™–2024 is a standard form agreement between owner and program manager for use on a single project or in a program with more than one project. The program manager assists the owner in an advisory capacity during design and construction. The program manager’s basic services include creating a program management plan to describe the scope of the program and related requirements; managing program-related information across the multiple projects in the program; developing a program-wide budget and schedule; and establishing quality control guidelines.

Unlike in the Construction Manager as Adviser family of documents, where the construction manager has some shared responsibilities with the architect, in C171 the program manager does not have shared responsibilities with other project participants.

Small Projects Family

Use of the Small Projects family of AIA Contract Documents may be appropriate when a project is straightforward in design; of short duration (less than one year from start of design to completion of construction); without delivery complications, such as competitive bidding; and when project team members already have working relationships. Documents in the Small Projects family are suitable for residential projects, small commercial projects, or other projects of relatively low cost and brief duration. Documents in the Small Projects family should not be used in tandem with agreements in other families without careful side-by-side comparison of contents. 

A105™-2017, Standard Short Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor

AIA Document A105-2017 is a stand-alone agreement with its own general conditions. A105-2017 is for use on a project that is modest in size and brief in duration, and where payment to the contractor is based on a stipulated sum (fixed price). For larger and more complex projects, other owner/contractor agreements are more suitable. A105-2017 replaces document A105-2007.

B105™-2017, Standard Short Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect

AIA Document B105-2017 is a standard short form of agreement between owner and architect. B105-2017 is for use on a project that is modest in size and brief in duration. For larger and more complex projects, other owner/architect agreements are more suitable. B105-2017 is intended for use with A105-2017, which it incorporates by reference. B105 is extremely abbreviated and is formatted more informally than other AIA agreements. B105-2017 replaces AIA Document B105-2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Residential or Small Commercial Project.

Contract Administration and Project Management Forms

AIA Construction Administration and Project Management forms are generally useful for all project delivery methods. The variety of forms in this group includes qualification statements, bonds, requests for information, change orders, construction change directives, and payment applications and certificates. These forms can be used on small to large projects.

A304™–2024, Request for Contractor’s Qualifications

AIA Contract Document A304–2024 is a form inviting contractors to submit the AIA Contract Document A305®–2020, Contractor’s Qualification Statement. Requesters may use A304-2024 to provide initial project information in support of their request for the A305 form. The A304 allows requesters to provide general information about the project, the intended form of agreement, project delivery method, any prequalification conference associated with the request, submission requirements, and the contractor selection process. Also, while A304 is styled as a request for “contractor’s” qualifications, it can be used to request the A305 from subcontractors and suppliers.

A305™-2020, Contractor’s Qualification Statement

AIA Document A305™–2020 replaces A305™-1986 and is a standard form contractor’s qualification statement. An owner preparing to request bids or to award a contract for a construction project often requires a means of verifying the background, references, and financial stability of any contractor being considered. Contractors can use A305 to provide a sworn, notarized statement and appropriate attachments and exhibits to elaborate on important aspects of the contractor’s qualifications. Also, while A305 is styled as a “contractor’s” qualification statement, it can be used by subcontractors and suppliers.   

A305 is a one-page document with five optional exhibits that the contractor can attach as needed. The five exhibits are as follows: 

Exhibit A – General Information

Exhibit B – Financial and Performance Information

Exhibit C – Project-Specific Information

Exhibit D – Past Project Experience 

Exhibit E – Past Project Experience (Continued)

A305 must be used with at least one of the exhibits above. In most instances, Exhibit A, General Information should be attached to A305 in order to supply the contractor’s most basic qualifications such as the contractor’s full legal name, legal status, and references. Exhibit B should be attached if the contractor intends to provide qualifications regarding its financial information and information about disputes or disciplinary actions to which the contractor is a party. Exhibit C should be attached if the contractor intends to provide qualifications it has that pertain to a specific project under consideration. Exhibits D and E should be attached as necessary to provide information about past projects that the contractor has completed. If the parties intend for any of the information contained in the A305 or its exhibits to be held confidential, they should execute a separate confidentiality agreement

A310™–2010, Bid Bond

The parties should carefully review the Contractor’s warranty obligations in the Construction Contract prior to executing the Bond. If the Contractor’s warranty obligations in the Construction Contract are non-standard or overly broad, the surety may find it difficult to underwrite the warranty.

Normally, these bond forms are prepared for execution by the Surety or the Surety’s agent.

G612™-2017, Owner’s Instructions to the Architect

AIA Document G612-2017 is a questionnaire, drafted to elicit information from the owner regarding the nature of the construction contract. G612 is divided into two parts: Part A relates to contracts and Part B deals with bidding procedures. The order of the parts follows the project’s chronological sequence to match the points in time when the information will be needed. Because many of the items relating to the contract will have some bearing on the development of construction documents, it is important to give Part A to the owner at the earliest possible phase of the project. The owner’s responses to Part A will lead to a selection of the appropriate delivery method and contract forms, including the general conditions. Answers to Part B will follow as the contract documents are further developed.

G701™-2017, Change Order

The forms require the contractor to show the status of the contract sum to date, including the total dollar amount of the work completed and stored to date, the amount of retainage (if any), the total of previous payments, a summary of change orders, and the amount of current payment requested. G703-1992 breaks the contract sum into portions of the work in accordance with a schedule of values prepared by the contractor as required by the general conditions. G702-1992 serves as both the contractor’s application and the architect’s certification. Its use can expedite payment and reduce the possibility of error. If the application is properly completed and acceptable to the architect, the architect’s signature certifies to the owner that a payment in the amount indicated is due to the contractor. The form also allows the architect to certify an amount different than the amount applied for, with explanation provided by the architect.

G709™-2018, Proposal Request

This form is used to obtain price quotations required in the negotiation of change orders. AIA Document G709-2018 is not a change order or a direction to proceed with the work.

G709 provides a clear and concise means of initiating the process for changes in the work.

G710™-2017, Architect’s Supplemental Instructions

AIA Document G710-2017 is used by the architect to issue additional instructions or interpretations, or to order minor changes in the work. It is intended to assist the architect in performing its obligations as interpreter of the contract documents in accordance with the owner/architect agreement and the general conditions of the contract for construction. G710 should not be used to change the contract sum or contract time.

G714™-2017, Construction Change Directive

AIA Document G714-2017 is a directive for changes in the work for use where the owner and contractor have not agreed on proposed changes in the contract sum or contract time. G714 should be used to direct changes in the work which, if not expeditiously implemented, might delay the project. Upon receipt of a completed G714, the contractor must promptly proceed with the change in the work described therein. 

G715™-2017, Supplemental Attachment for ACORD Certificate of Insurance 25

AIA Document G715-2017 is intended for use in adopting ACORD Form 25 to certify contractor insurance coverages required under standard form AIA agreements. Because the ACORD certificate does not have space to show all coverages required in standard form AIA agreements, the supplemental attachment form should be completed, signed by the contractor’s insurance representative, and attached to the ACORD certificate.

Note: Some states regulate documents that are used to verify the existence of insurance.  Check the laws of your state before using, or requiring the use of, this form. G715-2017 was approved for use in the State of New York on October 5, 2018.
