WHY USE AIA CONTRACT DOCUMENTS? AIAcontract documents are the product of a consensus-building

industry praclices, no£theory. They are state-o6the-ari legal documents, regulady revised to keep up with changes in

aze flezible: they aze intended to be modified to fit individual projects, but in such a way that modiFications are easily

General Conditions
On constmction projects, hundreds of contractual relationships are created between owners, ar<hitects, architects'
consultants, conlradors, subcon[ractors, sub-subcontractors, and others down through the multiple tiers of
~
participants. If custom-craked agreements were written in isolation for each of those contractual relationships, the
problems of overlaps and gaps in the numerous participants'responsibilities could lead to mass confusion and chaos.
To prevent and solve this problem, the constmction industry commonly uses standardized general conditions, such as
AIA Documenl A201-1997, for coordinaling those many relationships on the project by ils adoption into each contrad.
AIA expends a great deal of time and resources in the development of Azm and its other documents to provide four
types of linkages in the tiers oF legal refationships. In addition to adoption of Aaoi into each agreement, related AIA
documents are crafted with common phrasing, uniform definitions and a consistent, logical allocation of
,
responsibilities down through the tiers of relationships. Together these documents are known as the Azoi Family of

DISPUTE RESOLUTION-MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION. This d«ument mntains provisionsfor mediation
and arbitration of daims and disputes. Mediation is a non-binding process, but is mandatory under lhe terms of this
document. Arbitration is mandatory under the terms of this document and binding in mbsCstates and under the
Federal Arbitration Act In a minority of states, arbitration provisions relating to future disputes are not enforceable
but the parties may agree to arbitrate aFcer the dispute arises. Even in those states, under certain circumstances
(for example, in a transaction involving in[erstate mmmerce), arbitration provisions may be enForceable under the
Federal Arbitration Act.
The A[A dces not administer dispute resolution processes. To submit disputes to mediation or arbitration or to obtain
copies of the applicable mediation or arbitration rules, write to the American ArbitrationAssociation or call
(SOO) 778-7879. The American Mbitration Association also may be contacted at http://www.adr.org.'
WHY USE AIA CONTRACT DOCUMENTS? AIA contract documents are the product of a'consensus-6uilding
process aimed a[ balancing the interests of all parties on the construction project. The d6cuments reflect aclual
indus[ry practices, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal documents, regularly revised to keep up wilh changes in
law and the industry-yet they are written, as Far as possible, in everyday language. Finally, AIA rorttract documents
are flexible: they are intended to be modified to fit individual projects, but in such a way lhat'modifications are
easily distinguished from the original, printed language.

USE OF NON-AIA FORMS. If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA d,ocuments is to be used, particular

It is definitely not recommended practice to retype the standard documenL Besides being a violation of copyright,
retyping can introduce typographical errors and cloud lhe legal interpretation given to a standard clause when
blended with modifications, thereby eliminating one of the principal advantages of standard Form documents. By
merely reviewing the modifications to be made to a standard form document, parties familiar with that document can
quickly understand the essence of the proposed relationship. Commercial exchanges are greatly simpliFied and expedited, good-faith dealing is encouraged, and otherwise latent clauses are exposed for scrutiny. In this way,
