A533™-2019, Guide for Supplementary Conditions, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition
This guide serves two purposes: it provides guidance to assist in preparing the Contract for Construction, and it provides model language that may be used to amend or supplement the Contract for Construction.
AIA Document A232™–2019, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition, provides the basic legal framework for the Contract for Construction.

Project-specific information must be included in one of four locations:
- In the bidding requirements
- In the Owner-Contractor Agreement
- In modifications or supplements to the General Conditions of the Contract for Construction
- In the Specifications, particularly in the General Requirements (Division 1)
