by Shane Henson — February 17, 2012—The American Institute of Architects (AIA) recently announced that it has incorporated seven new documents into AIA Documents-on-Demand, bringing the total number of documents available through this service to 86.

AIA Documents-on-Demand is a popular, cost-effective, Web-based service that enables both PC and MAC users to easily access, electronically fill out, and print the latest AIA Contract Documents anytime and anywhere that they have access to the Internet and a printer.
