Synopsis.
AIA Document B110–2021 is a one-part standard form of agreement between owner and architect for design and construction contract administration on a custom residential project. B110-2021 is based on B101-2017, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, but B110 is tailored specifically for use on a custom residential project. Services are divided into basic, supplemental, and additional services. Basic services are performed in five phases: schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding and negotiation, and construction. Supplemental Services are services that are not included as Basic Services but are identified as the architect’s responsibility at the time the agreement is executed. Additional Services are services that may arise as the project proceeds. This agreement may be used with a variety of compensation methods, including the percentage of the budget for construction cost and stipulated sum.
