About AIA Contract Documents
AIA Contract Documents comprise over 100
forms and contracts that define relationships and terms involved in
design and construction projects. Prepared by the AIA with the
consensus of owners, contractors, attorneys, architects, engineers,
and others, the documents have been finely tuned during their 115
year history. As a result, these comprehensive contracts and forms
are now widely recognized as the industry standard.
Changes and developments in the building
industry sometimes necessitate drafting new contract documents and
revising existing ones. When doing so, the AIA abides by certain Drafting Principles and follows a Revision Policy to ensure that AIA
Contract Documents maintain consistently high standards while still
adapting to current trends and practices. 
Documents Organization
The AIA organizes contract documents by two methods. The first method groups documents by "families" based on types of projects or particular project delivery methods. The second method groups documents by 'series' based on the use of the document.
History Of Contract Documents
The AIA publishes more than 100 contracts and administrative forms that are recognized throughout the design and construction industry as the benchmark documents for managing transactions and relationships involved in
construction projects.
