Contract DocumentsContract Documents

AIA Contract Documents are divided into six alphanumeric series according to document use or purpose. Here are descriptions of miscellaneous AIA documents. Users should exercise independent judgment and may require the advice of legal counsel on deciding which documents are appropriate for a particular project.

This list of AIA Contract Documents by series includes information about document availability in AIA Contract Documents® software (for architects, attorneys, contractors, or owners or developers), in paper from local distributors, or from the Web-based AIA Documents on Demand® service.

D101–1995, Methods of Calculating Areas and Volumes of Buildings
This document establishes definitions for methods of calculating the architectural area and volume of buildings. AIA Document D101™–1995 also covers interstitial space and office, retail, and residential areas.

D200–1995, Project Checklist
The project checklist is a convenient listing of tasks a practitioner may perform on a given project. This checklist will assist the architect in recognizing required tasks and in locating the data necessary to fulfill assigned responsibilities. By providing space for notes on actions taken, assignment of tasks, and time frames for completion, AIA Document D200™–1995 may also serve as a permanent record of the owner’s, contractor’s and architect’s actions and decisions.

D503–2011, Guide for Sustainable Projects, including Agreement Amendments and Supplementary Conditions
AIA Document D503™–2011 is not an agreement, but is a guide that discusses the roles and responsibilities faced by Owners, Architects and Contractors on sustainable design and construction projects. D503 also contains model provisions for modifying or supplementing the following AIA Contract Documents: A201™–2007, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction; A101™–2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor where the basis of payment is a Stipulated Sum; and B101™–2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect. D503 provides model language with explanatory notes to assist users in adapting those documents for use on a sustainable project. A201–2007, A101–2007 and B101–2007, as standard form documents, cannot address all of the unique requirements and risks of sustainable design and construction. Thus, AIA Document D503–2011 is provided to assist users either in modifying those documents, or developing separate supplementary conditions documents to attach to them.
