The AIA contract documents produced by The American Institute of Architects are the most widely used standard form contracts in the construction industry.
- AIA contract documents are fair. In its contract documents, the AIA seeks to reflect an industry consensus, obtained from the advice of practicing architects, contractors, engineers, owners, surety bond producers, insurers, and attorneys. AIA contract documents balance the interests of all of the parties. This ensures a fair distribution of rights and duties without bias toward any one party, including the architect.
- AIA contract documents reflect industry practices, not theory. Where practices are inconsistent or no guidelines for practice exist, the AIA contract documents provide a consensus-based model for practitioners to follow.
- AIA contract documents reflect changing construction practices and technology. They are regularly revised to accommodate changes in professional and industry practices and technology.
- AIA contract documents reflect changes in law. They are revised and updated to conform to evolving case law precedence and indemnity insurance.
- AIA contract documents are flexible. They are easily modified to accommodate individual project demands. Such changes can be easily distinguished from the original, printed language.
- AIA contract documents are easy to interpret. They use common words and phrases. Industry or legal jargon is avoided whenever possible.

Quantum
Contract Manager Put
away your typewriters and your calculators! The Quantum Contract Manager program will collect information to easily fill many of the more common forms. The program automates the billing process, doing all the required calculations to complete and print your payment applications. It also makes filling out contracts and printing multiple copies a snap. It is a complete database driven PC application that tracks all this information by project. Note: This program prints information onto preprinted AIA Contract Documents, which users must purchase from AIA. This program does not generate any original AIA Contract Documents. All
this for only a one-time purchase fee; no other ongoing fees are
required. For a demo, go to http://www.quantumcm.com/distributors/connecticut. For
information, contact AIA Connecticut at 203-865-2195 or aiainfo@aiact.org.
