American Institute of Architects expands Documents-On-Demand service for construction and design projects

by Brianna Crandall — May 25, 2012—The American Institute of Architects (AIA), the DC-based voice of the architecture profession across the nation and in numerous countries around the world, recently announced the addition of six new documents to its popular Documents-on-Demand service, which for nearly four years has offered PC, MAC and tablet users easy access to AIA industry-standard Contract Documents’ cost-effective contracts anytime and anywhere they have Internet access.

The latest additions, which bring the total number of documents available to 98, cover aspects of every common project delivery method the building industry uses to support construction and design projects, says AIA. The Documents-on-Demand service has reportedly become the popular choice for anyone needing a quick standard agreement or form for a project.

Sandra Betts, Contract Administrator with construction firm DeaMor Associates, Inc., notes, “‘User-friendly’ is the first phrase that comes to mind when I think about Documents-on-Demand. The process of purchasing, downloading and completing the documents is always an effortless experience.”

The following documents have been added to AIA Documents-on-Demand:

  1. A141—2004, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Design-Builder
  2. A142—2004, Standard Form of Agreement Between Design-Builder and Contractor
  3. A441—2008, Standard Form of Agreement Between Contractor and Subcontractor for a Design-Build Project
  4. B142—2004, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Consultant where the Owner contemplates using the design-build method of project delivery
  5. B143—2004, Standard Form of Agreement Between Design-Builder and Architect
  6. C441—2008, Standard Form of Agreement Between Architect and Consultant for a Design-Build Project

AIA Documents-on-Demand is a free service. Users can purchase and download only the AIA Contract Document forms and agreements necessary for the project at hand with a price per document ranging from $6.95 to $21.95 from the AIA Online Store. More information about AIA Contract Documents is available on the AIA Web site. AIA Contract Documents software can be purchased from the site as well, or documents in paper form are available through the AIA’s full-service distributors.
