The American Institute of Architects (AIA) publishes more than 180 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. The AIA's prominence in the field is based on over 120 years of experience creating and updating its documents. During that time, owners, architects, contractors, attorneys, insurance experts, and many others have contributed to the development and revision of the AIA Contract Documents. As a result, these comprehensive contracts and forms are now widely recognized as the Industry Standard.
