The documents produced by the AIA* are the most widely used standard form contracts in the construction industry. They facilitate communication among all the parties involved in construction, which makes it easier to produce a high quality project in a timely and economical fashion.
AIA* documents are fair.
AIA* contracts and forms are consensus documents that reflect advice from practicing architects, contractors, engineers as well as owners, surety bond producers, issuers and attorneys. AIA* documents balance the interest of all the parties, so not one interest, including that of the architect, is unfairly presented.
AIA* documents reflect industry practices, not theory.
Where practices are inconsistent or no guidelines for practices exist, the AIA* documents provide a consensus-based model for practitioners to follow.
AIA* documents reflect changing construction practices and technology.
AIA* documents are revised regularly to accommodate changes in professional and industry practices, insurance and technology.
AIA* documents reflect the law.
AIA* documents are revised and updated to incorporate changes resulting from court interpretations and rulings, legal precedent, and nuances.
AIA* documents are flexible.
AIA* documents can be easily modified to accommodate individual project demands. Such changes are easily distinguished from the original, printed language.
AIA* documents are easy to interpret.
