AIA Contract Documents are grouped by family according to project type or delivery method, and by series, an alphanumeric system of classification that refers to the specific purpose of a document. Users must exercise independent judgment and may require the advice of legal counsel when deciding which documents are appropriate for a particular project.
Follow these links for a synopsis of each document in the series and information on the latest editions and scheduled revisions:
- A-Series: Owner/Contractor Agreements
- B-Series: Owner/Architect Agreements
- C-Series: Other Agreements
- D-Series: Miscellaneous Documents
- E-Series: Exhibits
- G-Series: Contract Administration and Project Management Forms
