GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose. AIA Document B1012007 is a standard form of agreement between Owner and Architect for building design
and construction contract administration. B1012007 is a one-part document that was developed to replace AIA
Documents B1411997, Parts 1 and 2, and B1511997. B1012007 returns to the traditional division of services
into Basic and Additional Services. Basic Services are based on five traditional phases: Schematic Design, Design
Development, Construction Documents, Bidding or Negotiation, and Construction. This document may be used with a
variety of compensation methods, including percentage of construction cost and stipulated sum.

B1012007 assumes that the Architect will provide cost estimates and will design the Project to meet the Owners
budget for the Cost of the Work. If the Owner will retain a third party to provide cost estimates, or if the Project will
implement fast track, phased or accelerated scheduling, the parties should consider using B1032007, Standard Form
of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Large or Complex Project.

Related Documents. B1012007 is intended to be used in conjunction with AIA Document A2012007, General
Conditions of the Contract for Construction, which it incorporates by reference. B1012007 also can be used with
Architect-Consultant agreements such as AIA Document C4012007. Before transmitting Instruments of Service or
other information in digital form, parties should establish protocols for that transmission and may use E2012007,
Digital Data Protocol Exhibit, for that purpose.

Dispute ResolutionMediation and Arbitration. This document contains provisions for mediation and arbitration of
claims and disputes. Mediation is a non-binding process, but is mandatory under the terms of this agreement. Arbitration
may be mandatory under the terms of this agreement. Arbitration is binding in most states 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 after the dispute arises. Even in those states, under certain circumstances (for example, in a
transaction involving interstate commerce), arbitration provisions may be enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act.

The AIA does not administer dispute resolution processes. To submit disputes to mediation or arbitration or to obtain
copies of the applicable mediation or arbitration rules, call the American Arbitration Association at (800) 7787879, or
visit their Web site at www.adr.org.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents. AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at
balancing the interests of all parties on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not
theory. They are state-of-the-art legal documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet
they are written, as far as possible, in everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended
to be modified to fit individual projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original,
printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms. If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must
be taken to achieve consistency of language and intent among documents. Certain owners require the use of owner-
architect agreements and other contract forms which they prepare. Such forms should be carefully compared to the
standard AIA forms for which they are being substituted before execution of an agreement. If there are any significant
omissions, additions or variances from the terms of the related standard AIA forms, both legal and insurance counsel
should be consulted. Of particular concern is the need for consistency between the Owner-Architect Agreement and
related documents and the anticipated General Conditions of the Contract for Construction in the delineation of the
Architects construction contract administration services and responsibilities.

Letter Forms of Agreement. Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of
a part or the whole of professional services based on oral agreements or understandings. The AIAs agreement forms
have been developed through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In
addition, the standard forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms. Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words Standard Form.
The term standard is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members
or others in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair and balanced
baselines from which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general acceptance
within the construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry spanning 50
stateseach of them free to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industrythey form the basis
for a generally consistent body of construction law.

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
AIA Document B1012007 contains many significant changes in format and content from B1411997 and B1511997.
A key change between B1012007 and B1411997 is that B101 returns to a unitary standard form agreement rather than
the two standard forms and thus B1012007 more closely follows the B1511997 format. B1012007 arranges the
Architects services in terms of Basic Services and Additional Services. Basic Services are described within the five
traditional phases of a Project: Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents, Bidding or
Negotiating, and Construction. Additional Services consist of any services not described as Basic Services.

There are many other changes to foster clarity in the Owner-Architect agreement as well. Described below are highlights
of major changes in B1012007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect.

Standard of Care: B1012007 contains a new provision at Section 2.2 stating the applicable standard of care under
which the Architect shall perform its services.

Architects Insurance Requirements: Section 2.5 contains a new provision wherein the parties may set forth the types
and limits of insurance the Architect is required to carry for the Project. Specifically, B1012007 lists General Liability,
Automobile Liability, Workers Compensation and Professional Liability.

Environmentally Responsible Design: During Schematic Design, Section 3.2.5.1 requires the Architect to consider
environmentally responsible design alternatives, such as material choices and building orientation, in developing a
design for the Project. The Architect is required to make such considerations consistent with the Owners program,
schedule and budget for the Cost of the Work.

Copyright and Licensing of the Instruments of Services: In B1012007, as in B1411997 and B1511997, the
Architect and the Architects consultants are deemed the authors and owners of their respective Instruments of Service,
and they retain all common law and statutory rights, including copyright. In B1012007, however, the license granted to
the Owner to use the Instruments of Services has been substantially revised. Under B1012007, the Owner receives a
license to use the Instruments of Service solely and exclusively for constructing, using, maintaining, altering and adding
to the Project. This license will only terminate if the Architect rightfully terminates the Agreement for cause due to the
Owners default. In the absence of such a termination by the Architect, the Owner retains the license to use the
Instruments of Service after completion of the Project or the Owners termination of the Agreement. If the Owner
subsequently uses the Instruments of Services without retaining the author of the Instruments of Service, the Owner
agrees to release and indemnify the Architect for such uses. If the Owner rightfully terminates the Agreement for cause,
however, the Owner is not required to release and indemnify the Architect for its further use of the Instruments of

Service. If the Owner terminates the Agreement for its convenience, or the Architect terminates the Agreement due to the
Owners suspension of the Project, B101 provides at Section 11.9 for the Owner to pay a licensing fee to the Architect
for the Owners continued use of the Architects Instruments of Service.

Binding Dispute Resolution: In the AIA A2012007 family of documents, mediation is a condition precedent to any
form of binding dispute resolution, but binding arbitration is not mandatory for disputes that fail to settle in mediation.
Instead, the parties are required to select at Section 8.2.4 from three choices of binding dispute resolution: (1) arbitration,
(2) litigation or (3) another method that they must identify.

USING B1012007
Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to comply
with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language be
struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that would
completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the completed
and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the software
permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors and
cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not permitted
under the users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and violate the
AIAs copyright.

they determine at which point the Architect will provide certain services as Additional Services.

Article 4 Additional Services
4.1 The parties should complete the table contained at Section 4.1 prior to executing the Agreement. For each service
listed, the parties should indicate the party responsible for providing the service in the appropriate column and identify
the place where the service is described, e.g., Section 4.2 or an exhibit attached to this document and identified
below etc. The Architect is not responsible for any listed service unless specifically so designated in the Responsibility
column of the table.

4.3.3 Insert an agreed-upon number in each of the spaces provided.

4.3.4 Insert the number of months beyond which the Architect shall be entitled to compensation as Additional Services.

Article 8 Claims and Disputes.
8.2.4 Select from three choices of binding dispute resolution: (1) arbitration, (2) litigation or (3) another method that
the parties must identify. Other types of dispute resolution include a dispute resolution board or a mini-trial. For
additional information about other methods of dispute resolution, refer to The Construction Industrys Guide to Dispute
Avoidance and Resolution free online at www.adr.org.

Article 11 Compensation
There are at least ten methods of computing compensation for architectural services. Four of these methods are time-
based, reflecting in different ways the time spent by the Architect on the Project:

Multiple of Direct Salary Expense, in which direct salaries of designated personnel are multiplied by a factor
representing benefits, overhead and profit.

Multiple of Direct Personnel Expense, in which the salaries plus benefits of designated personnel are multiplied by
a factor representing overhead and profit.

Professional Fee Plus Expenses, in which the salaries, benefits and overhead of designated personnel are the
expense and the fee may be a multiplier, percentage or lump sum representing profit.

Hourly Billing Rates, in which salaries, benefits, overhead and profit are included in the rate for designated
personnel.

Other methods, while they may be indirectly related to time expended on the Project, do not use time as a factor in the
calculation:

Stipulated Sum, in which compensation is listed as a dollar amount.

Percentage of Cost of the Work, in which compensation is calculated by applying an assumed percentage to the
estimated or actual Cost of the Work, whichever is most certain at the time the calculation is made.

Multiple of Consultants Billing, in which Consultants bills are multiplied by a factor representing the Architects
administrative costs, overhead and profit.

Square Footage, in which the square footage of the structure is multiplied by a pricing factor.

Unit Cost, in which the number of certain units such as rooms, acres, etc., is multiplied by a pricing factor.

Royalty, in which compensation is a share in the Owners income or profit derived from the built facility.

The AIA makes no recommendation as to the appropriateness of any of these methods of compensation on a particular
project, nor does the AIA suggest that the foregoing list includes all methods that are possible, practical or in actual use.
The use of any of the compensation methods described above, singly or in combination with other methods, is a business
decision for the Architect and the Owner. Further, the AIA makes no recommendations and has no guidelines or
schedules that specify the amount of compensation an architect should be paid.

If a Stipulated Sum is to be used, insert the sum in words and numerals in the following sample language:
Compensation shall be a stipulated sum of ________ Dollars ($______).

No sample language is provided for compensation based on square footage, unit cost or royalty. Parties choosing one or
more of these methods should craft their own language based on the particulars of the Project.

11.2 See methods of compensation shown above for Section 11.1.

3.6 CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES
3.6.1 GENERAL
3.6.1.1 The Architect shall provide administration of the Contract between the Owner and the Contractor as set forth
below and in AIA Document A2012007, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction. If the Owner and
Contractor modify AIA Document A2012007, those modifications shall not affect the Architects services under this
Agreement unless the Owner and the Architect amend this Agreement.

3.6.1.2 The Architect shall advise and consult with the Owner during the Construction Phase Services. The Architect
shall have authority to act on behalf of the Owner only to the extent provided in this Agreement. The Architect shall
not have control over, charge of, or responsibility for the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures, or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work, nor shall the Architect be responsible
for the Contractors failure to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. The
Architect shall be responsible for the Architects negligent acts or omissions, but shall not have control over or charge
of, and shall not be responsible for, acts or omissions of the Contractor or of any other persons or entities performing
portions of the Work.

3.6.1.3 Subject to Section 4.3, the Architects responsibility to provide Construction Phase Services commences with
the award of the Contract for Construction and terminates on the date the Architect issues the final Certificate for
Payment.

3.6.2 EVALUATIONS OF THE WORK
3.6.2.1 The Architect shall visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of construction, or as otherwise required
in Section 4.3.3, to become generally familiar with the progress and quality of the portion of the Work completed, and
to determine, in general, if the Work observed is being performed in a manner indicating that the Work, when fully
completed, will be in accordance with the Contract Documents. However, the Architect shall not be required to make
exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work. On the basis of the site
visits, the Architect shall keep the Owner reasonably informed about the progress and quality of the portion of the
Work completed, and report to the Owner (1) known deviations from the Contract Documents and from the most
recent construction schedule submitted by the Contractor, and (2) defects and deficiencies observed in the Work.

3.6.2.2 The Architect has the authority to reject Work that does not conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever
the Architect considers it necessary or advisable, the Architect shall have the authority to require inspection or testing
of the Work in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents, whether or not such Work is fabricated,
installed or completed. However, neither this authority of the Architect nor a decision made in good faith either to
exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the Architect to the Contractor,
Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their agents or employees or other persons or entities performing
portions of the Work.

3.6.2.3 The Architect shall interpret and decide matters concerning performance under, and requirements of, the
Contract Documents on written request of either the Owner or Contractor. The Architects response to such requests
shall be made in writing within any time limits agreed upon or otherwise with reasonable promptness.

3.6.2.4 Interpretations and decisions of the Architect shall be consistent with the intent of and reasonably inferable
from the Contract Documents and shall be in writing or in the form of drawings. When making such interpretations
and decisions, the Architect shall endeavor to secure faithful performance by both Owner and Contractor, shall not
show partiality to either, and shall not be liable for results of interpretations or decisions rendered in good faith. The
Architects decisions on matters relating to aesthetic effect shall be final if consistent with the intent expressed in the
Contract Documents.

3.6.2.5 Unless the Owner and Contractor designate another person to serve as an Initial Decision Maker, as that term
is defined in AIA Document A2012007, the Architect shall render initial decisions on Claims between the Owner
and Contractor as provided in the Contract Documents.

progressed to the point indicated and that the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The
foregoing representations are subject (1) to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents
upon Substantial Completion, (2) to results of subsequent tests and inspections, (3) to correction of minor deviations
from the Contract Documents prior to completion, and (4) to specific qualifications expressed by the Architect.

3.6.3.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a representation that the Architect has (1) made
exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from

of other information such as dimensions, quantities, and installation or performance of equipment or systems, which
are the Contractors responsibility. The Architects review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or,
unless otherwise specifically stated by the Architect, of any construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures. The Architects approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is
a component.

3.6.4.3 If the Contract Documents specifically require the Contractor to provide professional design services or
certifications by a design professional related to systems, materials or equipment, the Architect shall specify the
appropriate performance and design criteria that such services must satisfy. The Architect shall review shop drawings
and other submittals related to the Work designed or certified by the design professional retained by the Contractor
that bear such professionals seal and signature when submitted to the Architect. The Architect shall be entitled to rely
upon the adequacy, accuracy and completeness of the services, certifications and approvals performed or provided by
such design professionals.

3.6.4.4 Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3, the Architect shall review and respond to requests for information
about the Contract Documents. The Architect shall set forth in the Contract Documents the requirements for requests
for information. Requests for information shall include, at a minimum, a detailed written statement that indicates the
specific Drawings or Specifications in need of clarification and the nature of the clarification requested. The
Architects response to such requests shall be made in writing within any time limits agreed upon, or otherwise with
reasonable promptness. If appropriate, the Architect shall prepare and issue supplemental Drawings and Specifications
in response to requests for information.

3.6.4.5 The Architect shall maintain a record of submittals and copies of submittals supplied by the Contractor in
accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

3.6.5 CHANGES IN THE WORK
3.6.5.1 The Architect may authorize minor changes in the Work that are consistent with the intent of the Contract
Documents and do not involve an adjustment in the Contract Sum or an extension of the Contract Time. Subject to the
provisions of Section 4.3, the Architect shall prepare Change Orders and Construction Change Directives for the
Owners approval and execution in accordance with the Contract Documents.

Architect nor the Owner has control over the cost of labor, materials or equipment; the Contractors methods of
determining bid prices; or competitive bidding, market or negotiating conditions. Accordingly, the Architect cannot
and does not warrant or represent that bids or negotiated prices will not vary from the Owners budget for the Cost of
the Work or from any estimate of the Cost of the Work or evaluation prepared or agreed to by the Architect.

6.3 In preparing estimates of the Cost of Work, the Architect shall be permitted to include contingencies for design,
bidding and price escalation; to determine what materials, equipment, component systems and types of construction
are to be included in the Contract Documents; to make reasonable adjustments in the program and scope of the
Project; and to include in the Contract Documents alternate bids as may be necessary to adjust the estimated Cost of
the Work to meet the Owners budget for the Cost of the Work. The Architects estimate of the Cost of the Work shall
be based on current area, volume or similar conceptual estimating techniques. If the Owner requests detailed cost
estimating services, the Architect shall provide such services as an Additional Service under Article 4.

7.1 The Architect and the Owner warrant that in transmitting Instruments of Service, or any other information, the
transmitting party is the copyright owner of such information or has permission from the copyright owner to transmit
such information for its use on the Project. If the Owner and Architect intend to transmit Instruments of Service or any
other information or documentation in digital form, they shall endeavor to establish necessary protocols governing
such transmissions.

7.2 The Architect and the Architects consultants shall be deemed the authors and owners of their respective
Instruments of Service, including the Drawings and Specifications, and shall retain all common law, statutory and
other reserved rights, including copyrights. Submission or distribution of Instruments of Service to meet official
regulatory requirements or for similar purposes in connection with the Project is not to be construed as publication in
derogation of the reserved rights of the Architect and the Architects consultants.

7.3 Upon execution of this Agreement, the Architect grants to the Owner a nonexclusive license to use the
Architects Instruments of Service solely and exclusively for purposes of constructing, using, maintaining, altering
and adding to the Project, provided that the Owner substantially performs its obligations, including prompt payment of

authorize the Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, and material or equipment suppliers, as well as the
Owners consultants and separate contractors, to reproduce applicable portions of the Instruments of Service solely
and exclusively for use in performing services or construction for the Project. If the Architect rightfully terminates this

7.3.1 In the event the Owner uses the Instruments of Service without retaining the author of the Instruments of
Service, the Owner releases the Architect and Architects consultant(s) from all claims and causes of action arising
from such uses. The Owner, to the extent permitted by law, further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Architect and its consultants from all costs and expenses, including the cost of defense, related to claims and causes of
action asserted by any third person or entity to the extent such costs and expenses arise from the Owners use of the
Instruments of Service under this Section 7.3.1. The terms of this Section 7.3.1 shall not apply if the Owner rightfully
terminates this Agreement for cause under Section 9.4.

7.4 Except for the licenses granted in this Article 7, no other license or right shall be deemed granted or implied

ARTICLE 8 CLAIMS AND DISPUTES
8.1 GENERAL
8.1.1 The Owner and Architect shall commence all claims and causes of action, whether in contract, tort, or
otherwise, against the other arising out of or related to this Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the
method of binding dispute resolution selected in this Agreement within the period specified by applicable law, but in
any case not more than 10 years after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work. The Owner and Architect waive
all claims and causes of action not commenced in accordance with this Section 8.1.1.

8.1.2 To the extent damages are covered by property insurance, the Owner and Architect waive all rights against
each other and against the contractors, consultants, agents and employees of the other for damages, except such rights
as they may have to the proceeds of such insurance as set forth in AIA Document A2012007, General Conditions of
the Contract for Construction. The Owner or the Architect, as appropriate, shall require of the contractors, consultants,
agents and employees of any of them similar waivers in favor of the other parties enumerated herein.

8.1.3 The Architect and Owner waive consequential damages for claims, disputes or other matters in question arising
out of or relating to this Agreement. This mutual waiver is applicable, without limitation, to all consequential damages
due to either partys termination of this Agreement, except as specifically provided in Section 9.7.

8.2 MEDIATION
8.2.1 Any claim, dispute or other matter in question arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be subject to
mediation as a condition precedent to binding dispute resolution. If such matter relates to or is the subject of a lien
arising out of the Architects services, the Architect may proceed in accordance with applicable law to comply with
the lien notice or filing deadlines prior to resolution of the matter by mediation or by binding dispute resolution.

8.2.2 The Owner and Architect shall endeavor to resolve claims, disputes and other matters in question between them
by mediation which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be administered by the American Arbitration
Association in accordance with its Construction Industry Mediation Procedures in effect on the date of the Agreement.
A request for mediation shall be made in writing, delivered to the other party to the Agreement, and filed with the
person or entity administering the mediation. The request may be made concurrently with the filing of a complaint or
other appropriate demand for binding dispute resolution but, in such event, mediation shall proceed in advance of
binding dispute resolution proceedings, which shall be stayed pending mediation for a period of 60 days from the date
of filing, unless stayed for a longer period by agreement of the parties or court order. If an arbitration proceeding is
stayed pursuant to this section, the parties may nonetheless proceed to the selection of the arbitrator(s) and agree upon
a schedule for later proceedings.

8.2.3 The parties shall share the mediators fee and any filing fees equally. The mediation shall be held in the place
where the Project is located, unless another location is mutually agreed upon. Agreements reached in mediation shall
be enforceable as settlement agreements in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

8.2.4 If the parties do not resolve a dispute through mediation pursuant to this Section 8.2, the method of binding
dispute resolution shall be the following:
(Check the appropriate box. If the Owner and Architect do not select a method of binding dispute resolution below, or

8.3 ARBITRATION
8.3.1 If the parties have selected arbitration as the method for binding dispute resolution in this Agreement, any
claim, dispute or other matter in question arising out of or related to this Agreement subject to, but not resolved by,
mediation shall be subject to arbitration which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be administered by
the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Construction Industry Arbitration Rules in effect on the
date of this Agreement. A demand for arbitration shall be made in writing, delivered to the other party to this
Agreement, and filed with the person or entity administering the arbitration.

8.3.1.1 A demand for arbitration shall be made no earlier than concurrently with the filing of a request for mediation,
but in no event shall it be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the claim,
dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. For statute of limitations
purposes, receipt of a written demand for arbitration by the person or entity administering the arbitration shall
constitute the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the claim, dispute or other matter in question.

8.3.2 The foregoing agreement to arbitrate and other agreements to arbitrate with an additional person or entity duly
consented to by parties to this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable in accordance with applicable law in any
court having jurisdiction thereof.

8.3.3 The award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with
applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

8.3.4 CONSOLIDATION OR JOINDER
8.3.4.1 Either party, at its sole discretion, may consolidate an arbitration conducted under this Agreement with any
other arbitration to which it is a party provided that (1) the arbitration agreement governing the other arbitration
permits consolidation; (2) the arbitrations to be consolidated substantially involve common questions of law or fact;
and (3) the arbitrations employ materially similar procedural rules and methods for selecting arbitrator(s).

8.3.4.2 Either party, at its sole discretion, may include by joinder persons or entities substantially involved in a
common question of law or fact whose presence is required if complete relief is to be accorded in arbitration, provided
that the party sought to be joined consents in writing to such joinder. Consent to arbitration involving an additional
person or entity shall not constitute consent to arbitration of any claim, dispute or other matter in question not
described in the written consent.

8.3.4.3 The Owner and Architect grant to any person or entity made a party to an arbitration conducted under this
Section 8.3, whether by joinder or consolidation, the same rights of joinder and consolidation as the Owner and
Architect under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 9 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION
9.1 If the Owner fails to make payments to the Architect in accordance with this Agreement, such failure shall be
considered substantial nonperformance and cause for termination or, at the Architects option, cause for suspension of
performance of services under this Agreement. If the Architect elects to suspend services, the Architect shall give
seven days written notice to the Owner before suspending services. In the event of a suspension of services, the
Architect shall have no liability to the Owner for delay or damage caused the Owner because of such suspension of
services. Before resuming services, the Architect shall be paid all sums due prior to suspension and any expenses
incurred in the interruption and resumption of the Architects services. The Architects fees for the remaining services
and the time schedules shall be equitably adjusted.

9.2 If the Owner suspends the Project, the Architect shall be compensated for services performed prior to notice of
such suspension. When the Project is resumed, the Architect shall be compensated for expenses incurred in the
interruption and resumption of the Architects services. The Architects fees for the remaining services and the time
schedules shall be equitably adjusted.

9.3 If the Owner suspends the Project for more than 90 cumulative days for reasons other than the fault of the
Architect, the Architect may terminate this Agreement by giving not less than seven days written notice.

9.4 Either party may terminate this Agreement upon not less than seven days written notice should the other party
fail substantially to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement through no fault of the party initiating the
termination.

business proprietary, the receiving party shall keep such information strictly confidential and shall not disclose it to
any other person except to (1) its employees, (2) those who need to know the content of such information in order to
perform services or construction solely and exclusively for the Project, or (3) its consultants and contractors whose
contracts include similar restrictions on the use of confidential information.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose
AIA Document B1022007 is a standard form of agreement between Owner and Architect that provides agreement
terms only. B1022007 does not include a scope of Architects services, which must be inserted in Article 1 or attached
as an exhibit to B1022007. The AIA publishes several standard form scopes of service which can be paired with
B1022007, including the following:

B2032007, Standard Form of Architects Services: Site Evaluation and Planning
B2042007, Standard Form of Architects Services: Value Analysis
B2052007, Standard Form of Architects Services: Historic Preservation
B2062007, Standard Form of Architects Services: Security Evaluation and Planning
B2092007, Standard Form of Architects Services: Construction Contract Administration
B2102007, Standard Form of Architects Services: Facility Support Services
B2112007, Standard Form of Architects Services: Commissioning
B2142007, Standard Form of Architects Services: LEED

Certification
B2522007, Standard Form of Architects Services: Architectural Interior Design
B2532007, Standard Form of Architects Services: Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment Design

B1022007 was developed to replace, and to serve the same purpose as, AIA Document B1411997 Part 1. B102
2007 uses the same terminology found in B1012007, Agreement Between Owner and Architect. B1022007 may be
used with a variety of compensation methods, further described in these Instructions.

Dispute ResolutionMediation and Arbitration
This document contains provisions for mediation and arbitration of claims and disputes. Mediation is a non-binding
process, but is mandatory under the terms of this agreement. Arbitration may be mandatory under the terms of this
agreement. Arbitration is binding in most states 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 after the
dispute arises. Even in those states, under certain circumstances (for example, in a transaction involving interstate
commerce), arbitration provisions may be enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act.

The AIA does not administer dispute resolution processes. To submit disputes to mediation or arbitration or to obtain
copies of the applicable mediation or arbitration rules, call the American Arbitration Association at (800) 7787879, or
visit their Web site at www.adr.org.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents
AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties
on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal
documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet they are written, as far as possible, in
everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended to be modified to fit individual
projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original, printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent among documents. Certain owners require the use of owner-architect agreements and
other contract forms which they prepare. Such forms should be carefully compared to the standard AIA forms for which
they are being substituted before execution of an agreement. If there are any significant omissions, additions or
variances from the terms of the related standard AIA forms, both legal and insurance counsel should be consulted. Of
particular concern is the need for consistency between the Owner-Architect Agreement and related documents and the

anticipated General Conditions of the Contract for Construction in the delineation of the Architects construction
contract administration services and responsibilities.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of
professional services based on oral agreements or understandings. The AIAs agreement forms have been developed
through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition, the standard forms
have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms
Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words Standard Form. The term
standard is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members or others
in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair and balanced baselines
from which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general acceptance within the
construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry spanning 50 stateseach of
them free to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industrythey form the basis for a generally
consistent body of construction law.

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
AIA Document B1022007 contains many significant changes in format and content from B1411997 Part 1, including
changes to foster clarity in the Owner-Architect agreement. Described below are highlights of the major changes.

Standard of Care: B1022007 contains a new provision at Section 1.2 stating the applicable standard of care under
which the Architect shall perform its services.

Architects Insurance Requirements: Section 1.5 contains a new provision wherein the parties may set forth the types
and limits of insurance the Architect is required to carry for the Project. Specifically, B1022007 lists General Liability,
Automobile Liability, Workers Compensation and Professional Liability.

Copyright and Licensing of the Instruments of Services: In B1022007, as in B1411997, the Architect and the
Architects consultants are deemed the authors and owners of their respective Instruments of Service, and they retain all
common law and statutory rights, including copyright. In B1022007, however, the license granted to the Owner to use
the Instruments of Services has been substantially revised. Under B1022007, the Owner receives a license to use the
Instruments of Service solely and exclusively for constructing, using, maintaining, altering and adding to the Project.
This license will only terminate if the Architect rightfully terminates the Agreement for cause due to the Owners
default. In the absence of such a termination by the Architect, the Owner retains the license to use the Instruments of
Service after completion of the Project or the Owners termination of the Agreement. If the Owner subsequently uses
the Instruments of Services without retaining the author of the Instruments of Service, the Owner agrees to release and
indemnify the Architect for such uses. If the Owner rightfully terminates the Agreement for cause, however, the Owner
is not required to release and indemnify the Architect for its further use of the Instruments of Service. If the Owner

terminates the Agreement for its convenience, or the Architect terminates the Agreement due to the Owners suspension
of the Project, B102 provides at Section 6.3 for the Owner to pay a licensing fee to the Architect for the Owners
continued use of the Architects Instruments of Service.

Binding Dispute Resolution: In the AIA A2012007 family of documents, mediation is a condition precedent to any
form of binding dispute resolution, but binding arbitration is not mandatory for disputes that fail to settle in mediation.
Instead, the parties are required to select at Section 4.2.4 from three choices of binding dispute resolution: (1)
arbitration, (2) litigation or (3) another method that they must identify.

USING B1022007
Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest charges,
arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to comply with state
or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language be
struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that would
completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the completed
and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the software
permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors and
cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not permitted
under the users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and violate the
AIAs copyright.

Cover Page
Date: The date represents the date the Agreement becomes effective. It may be the date that an oral agreement was
reached, the date the Agreement was originally submitted to the other party, the date authorizing action was taken or the
date of actual execution. Professional services should not be performed prior to the effective date of the Agreement.

Identification of Parties: Parties to this Agreement should be identified using the full legal name under which the
Agreement is to be executed, including a designation of the legal status of both parties (sole proprietorship, partnership,
joint venture, unincorporated association, limited partnership or corporation [general, limited liability, close or
professional], etc.). Where appropriate, a copy of the resolution authorizing the individual to act on behalf of the firm or
entity should be attached.

Project Description: The proposed Project should be described in sufficient detail to identify (1) the official name or
title of the facility, (2) the location of the site, if known, (3) the proposed building usage, and (4) the size, capacity or
scope of the Project, if known.

Article 4 Claims and Disputes
4.2.4 Select from three choices of binding dispute resolution: (1) arbitration, (2) litigation or (3) another method that
the parties must identify. Other types of dispute resolution include a dispute resolution board or a mini-trial. For
additional information about other methods of dispute resolution, refer to The Construction Industrys Guide to Dispute
Avoidance and Resolution, free online at www.adr.org.

Article 6 Compensation
There are at least ten methods of computing compensation for architectural services. Four of these methods are time-
based, reflecting in different ways the time spent by the Architect on the Project:

Multiple of Direct Salary Expense, in which direct salaries of designated personnel are multiplied by a factor
representing benefits, overhead and profit.

Multiple of Direct Personnel Expense, in which the salaries plus benefits of designated personnel are multiplied by a
factor representing overhead and profit.

Professional Fee Plus Expenses, in which the salaries, benefits and overhead of designated personnel are the expense
and the fee may be a multiplier, percentage or lump sum representing profit.

Hourly Billing Rates, in which salaries, benefits, overhead and profit are included in the rate for designated personnel.

Other methods, while they may be indirectly related to time expended on the Project, do not use time as a factor in the
calculation:

Stipulated Sum, in which compensation is listed as a dollar amount.

Percentage of Cost of the Work, in which compensation is calculated by applying an assumed percentage to the
estimated or actual Cost of the Work, whichever is most certain at the time the calculation is made.

Multiple of Consultants Billing, in which Consultants bills are multiplied by a factor representing the Architects
administrative costs, overhead and profit.

Square Footage, in which the square footage of the structure is multiplied by a pricing factor.

Unit Cost, in which the number of certain units such as rooms, acres, etc., is multiplied by a pricing factor.

Royalty, in which compensation is a share in the Owners income or profit derived from the built facility.

The AIA makes no recommendation as to the appropriateness of any of these methods of compensation on a particular
project, nor does the AIA suggest that the foregoing list includes all methods that are possible, practical or in actual use.
The use of any of the compensation methods described above, singly or in combination with other methods, is a
business decision for the Architect and the Owner. Further, the AIA makes no recommendations and has no guidelines
or schedules that specify the amount of compensation an architect should be paid.

Article 8 Special Terms and Conditions
Insert any modifications to the standard text of the document, if the modifications are not otherwise inserted elsewhere in
the document. For more information about modifying the document, refer to the Modifications section of these Instructions.

EXECUTING B1022007
The persons executing B1022007 should indicate the capacity in which they are acting (i.e., president, secretary,
partner, etc.) and the authority under which they are executing the Agreement. Where appropriate, a copy of the
resolution authorizing the individual to act on behalf of the firm or entity should be attached.

regarding requirements for and limitations on the Project, including a written program which shall set forth the Owners
objectives, schedule, constraints and criteria, including space requirements and relationships, flexibility, expandability,
special equipment, systems and site requirements. Within 15 days after receipt of a written request from the Architect,
the Owner shall furnish the requested information as necessary and relevant for the Architect to evaluate, give notice of
or enforce lien rights.

2.2 The Owner shall identify a representative authorized to act on the Owners behalf with respect to the Project. The
Owner shall render decisions and approve the Architects submittals in a timely manner in order to avoid unreasonable
delay in the orderly and sequential progress of the Architects services.

2.3 The Owner shall coordinate the services of its own consultants with those services provided by the Architect. Upon
the Architects request, the Owner shall furnish copies of the scope of consulting services in the contracts between the
Owner and the Owners consultants. The Owner shall furnish the services of consultants other than those designated in

2.4 The Owner shall furnish all legal, insurance and accounting services, including auditing services, that may be

transmitting party is the copyright owner of such information or has permission from the copyright owner to transmit
such information for its use on the Project. If the Owner and Architect intend to transmit Instruments of Service or any
other information or documentation in digital form, they shall endeavor to establish necessary protocols governing such
transmissions.

3.2 The Architect and the Architects consultants shall be deemed the authors and owners of their respective
Instruments of Service, including the Drawings and Specifications, and shall retain all common law, statutory and other
reserved rights, including copyrights. Submission or distribution of Instruments of Service to meet official regulatory
requirements or for similar purposes in connection with the Project is not to be construed as publication in derogation of
the reserved rights of the Architect and the Architects consultants.

3.3 Upon execution of this Agreement, the Architect grants to the Owner a nonexclusive license to use the Architects
Instruments of Service solely and exclusively for the Project, provided that the Owner substantially performs its
obligations, including prompt payment of all sums when due, under this Agreement. The Architect shall obtain similar
nonexclusive licenses from the Architects consultants consistent with this Agreement. The license granted under this
section permits the Owner to authorize the Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, and material or equipment
suppliers, as well as the Owners consultants and separate contractors, to reproduce applicable portions of the
Instruments of Service solely and exclusively for use in performing services for the Project. If the Architect rightfully
terminates this Agreement for cause as provided in Sections 5.3 and 5.4, the license granted in this Section 3.3 shall
terminate.

3.3.1 In the event the Owner uses the Instruments of Service without retaining the author of the Instruments of Service,
the Owner releases the Architect and Architects consultant(s) from all claims and causes of action arising from such
uses. The Owner, to the extent permitted by law, further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Architect and its
consultants from all costs and expenses, including the cost of defense, related to claims and causes of action asserted by
any third person or entity to the extent such costs and expenses arise from the Owners use of the Instruments of Service
under this Section 3.3.1.

ARTICLE 4 CLAIMS AND DISPUTES
4.1 GENERAL
4.1.1 The Owner and Architect shall commence all claims and causes of action, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise,
against the other arising out of or related to this Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the method of
binding dispute resolution selected in this Agreement within the period specified by applicable law, but in any case not
more than 10 years after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work. The Owner and Architect waive all claims and
causes of action not commenced in accordance with this Section 4.1.1.

4.1.2 To the extent damages are covered by property insurance, the Owner and Architect waive all rights against each
other and against the contractors, consultants, agents and employees of the other for damages, except such rights as they
may have to the proceeds of such insurance as set forth in AIA Document A2012007, General Conditions of the
Contract for Construction, if applicable. The Owner or the Architect, as appropriate, shall require of the contractors,
consultants, agents and employees of any of them similar waivers in favor of the other parties enumerated herein.

4.1.3 The Architect and Owner waive consequential damages for claims, disputes or other matters in question arising
out of or relating to this Agreement. This mutual waiver is applicable, without limitation, to all consequential damages
due to either partys termination of this Agreement, except as specifically provided in Section 5.7.

4.2 MEDIATION
4.2.1 Any claim, dispute or other matter in question arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be subject to
mediation as a condition precedent to binding dispute resolution. If such matter relates to or is the subject of a lien
arising out of the Architects services, the Architect may proceed in accordance with applicable law to comply with the
lien notice or filing deadlines prior to resolution of the matter by mediation or by binding dispute resolution.

4.2.2 The Owner and Architect shall endeavor to resolve claims, disputes and other matters in question between them
by mediation which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be administered by the American Arbitration
Association in accordance with its Construction Industry Mediation Procedures in effect on the date of the Agreement.
A request for mediation shall be made in writing, delivered to the other party to the Agreement, and filed with the
person or entity administering the mediation. The request may be made concurrently with the filing of a complaint or
other appropriate demand for binding dispute resolution but, in such event, mediation shall proceed in advance of
binding dispute resolution proceedings, which shall be stayed pending mediation for a period of 60 days from the date
of filing, unless stayed for a longer period by agreement of the parties or court order. If an arbitration proceeding is
stayed pursuant to this Section, the parties may nonetheless proceed to the selection of the arbitrator(s) and agree upon a
schedule for later proceedings.

4.2.3 The parties shall share the mediators fee and any filing fees equally. The mediation shall be held in the place
where the Project is located, unless another location is mutually agreed upon. Agreements reached in mediation shall be
enforceable as settlement agreements in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

4.2.4 If the parties do not resolve a dispute through mediation pursuant to this Section 4.2, the method of binding dispute
resolution shall be the following:
(Check the appropriate box. If the Owner and Architect do not select a method of binding dispute resolution below, or
do not subsequently agree in writing to a binding dispute resolution method other than litigation, the dispute will be
resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction.)

4.3.1 If the parties have selected arbitration as the method for binding dispute resolution in this Agreement, any claim,
dispute or other matter in question arising out of or related to this Agreement subject to, but not resolved by, mediation
shall be subject to arbitration, which unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be administered by the American
Arbitration Association in accordance with its Construction Industry Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of this
Agreement. A demand for arbitration shall be made in writing, delivered to the other party to this Agreement, and filed
with the person or entity administering the arbitration.

4.3.1.1 A demand for arbitration shall be made no earlier than concurrently with the filing of a request for mediation,
but in no event shall it be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the claim,
dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. For statute of limitations
purposes, receipt of a written demand for arbitration by the person or entity administering the arbitration shall constitute
the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the claim, dispute or other matter in question.

4.3.2 The foregoing agreement to arbitrate and other agreements to arbitrate with an additional person or entity duly
consented to by parties to this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable in accordance with applicable law in any
court having jurisdiction thereof.

4.3.3 The award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with
applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

4.3.4 CONSOLIDATION OR JOINDER
4.3.4.1 Either party, at its sole discretion, may consolidate an arbitration conducted under this Agreement with any
other arbitration to which it is a party provided that (1) the arbitration agreement governing the other arbitration permits
consolidation; (2) the arbitrations to be consolidated substantially involve common questions of law or fact; and (3) the
arbitrations employ materially similar procedural rules and methods for selecting arbitrator(s).

4.3.4.2 Either party, at its sole discretion, may include by joinder persons or entities substantially involved in a
common question of law or fact whose presence is required if complete relief is to be accorded in arbitration, provided
that the party sought to be joined consents in writing to such joinder. Consent to arbitration involving an additional
person or entity shall not constitute consent to arbitration of any claim, dispute or other matter in question not described
in the written consent.

4.3.4.3 The Owner and Architect grant to any person or entity made a party to an arbitration conducted under this
Section 4.3, whether by joinder or consolidation, the same rights of joinder and consolidation as the Owner and
Architect under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 5 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION
5.1 If the Owner fails to make payments to the Architect in accordance with this Agreement, such failure shall be
considered substantial nonperformance and cause for termination or, at the Architects option, cause for suspension of
performance of services under this Agreement. If the Architect elects to suspend services, the Architect shall give seven
days written notice to the Owner before suspending services. In the event of a suspension of services, the Architect
shall have no liability to the Owner for delay or damage caused the Owner because of such suspension of services.
Before resuming services, the Architect shall be paid all sums due prior to suspension and any expenses incurred in the
interruption and resumption of the Architects services. The Architects fees for the remaining services and the time
schedules shall be equitably adjusted.

5.2 If the Owner suspends the Project, the Architect shall be compensated for services performed prior to notice of
such suspension. When the Project is resumed, the Architect shall be compensated for expenses incurred in the
interruption and resumption of the Architects services. The Architects fees for the remaining services and the time
schedules shall be equitably adjusted.

5.3 If the Owner suspends the Project for more than 90 cumulative days for reasons other than the fault of the
Architect, the Architect may terminate this Agreement by giving not less than seven days written notice.

5.4 Either party may terminate this Agreement upon not less than seven days written notice should the other party fail
substantially to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement through no fault of the party initiating the
termination.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose. AIA Document B1032007 is a standard form of agreement between Owner and Architect for building design
and construction contract administration for large or complex projects. B1032007 is a one-part document that was
developed to replace AIA Documents B1411997, Parts 1 and 2, and B1511997 specifically with respect to large
or complex projects. B1032007 returns to the traditional division of services into Basic and Additional Services. Basic
Services are based on five traditional phases: Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents,
Bidding or Negotiation, and Construction. This document may be used with a variety of compensation methods,
including percentage of construction cost and stipulated sum.

In B1032007 the Architect does not prepare cost estimates, but agrees to design the Project to meet the Owners budget
for the Cost of the Work at the conclusion of the Design Development Phase Services. B1032007 assumes that the
Owner will retain third parties to provide cost estimates and Project schedules, and may implement fast-track, phased or
accelerated scheduling. If the Architect will provide cost estimates and will design the Project to meet the Owners
budget for the Cost of the Work at the conclusion of the Construction Documents Phase Services, the parties should
consider using B1012007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect.

Related Documents. B1032007 is intended to be used in conjunction with AIA Document A2012007, General
Conditions of the Contract for Construction, which it incorporates by reference. B1032007 also can be used with
Architect-Consultant agreements such as AIA Document C4012007. Before transmitting Instruments of Service or
other information in digital form, parties should establish protocols for that transmission and may use E2012007,
Digital Data Protocol Exhibit, for that purpose.

Dispute ResolutionMediation and Arbitration. This document contains provisions for mediation and arbitration of
claims and disputes. Mediation is a non-binding process, but is mandatory under the terms of this agreement. Arbitration
may be mandatory under the terms of this agreement. Arbitration is binding in most states 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 after the dispute arises. Even in those states, under certain circumstances (for example, in a
transaction involving interstate commerce), arbitration provisions may be enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act.

The AIA does not administer dispute resolution processes. To submit disputes to mediation or arbitration or to obtain
copies of the applicable mediation or arbitration rules, call the American Arbitration Association at (800) 7787879, or
visit their Web site at www.adr.org.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents. AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at
balancing the interests of all parties on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not
theory. They are state-of-the-art legal documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet
they are written, as far as possible, in everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended
to be modified to fit individual projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original,
printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms. If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must
be taken to achieve consistency of language and intent among documents. Certain owners require the use of owner-
architect agreements and other contract forms which they prepare. Such forms should be carefully compared to the
standard AIA forms for which they are being substituted before execution of an agreement. If there are any significant
omissions, additions or variances from the terms of the related standard AIA forms, both legal and insurance counsel
should be consulted. Of particular concern is the need for consistency between the Owner-Architect Agreement and
related documents and the anticipated General Conditions of the Contract for Construction in the delineation of the
Architects construction contract administration services and responsibilities.

Letter Forms of Agreement. Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of
a part or the whole of professional services based on oral agreements or understandings. The AIAs agreement forms
have been developed through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In
addition, the standard forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms. Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words Standard Form.
The term standard is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members
or others in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair and balanced
baselines from which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general acceptance
within the construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry spanning 50
stateseach of them free to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industrythey form the basis
for a generally consistent body of construction law.

AIA component to verify the most recent edition.

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
AIA Document B1032007 contains many significant changes in format and content from the former B1411997 and
B1511997. A key change between B1032007 and B1411997 is that B103 returns to a unitary standard form
agreement rather than the two standard forms and thus B1032007 more closely follows the B1511997 format.
B1032007 arranges the Architects services in terms of Basic Services and Additional Services. Basic Services are
described within the five traditional phases of a Project: Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction
Documents, Bidding or Negotiating, and Construction. Additional Services consist of any services not described as Basic
Services. B1032007 assumes that the Owner will retain a third party to provide cost estimates, or that the Project will
implement fast-track, phased or accelerated scheduling. The Owners responsibilities and the Architects services have
been revised to conform to those assumptions.

There are many other changes to foster clarity in the Owner-Architect agreement as well. Described below are highlights
of major changes in B1032007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Large or Complex
Project.

Standard of Care: B1032007 contains a provision at Section 2.2 stating the applicable standard of care under which
the Architect shall perform its services.

Architects Insurance Requirements: Section 2.5 contains a provision wherein the parties may set forth the types and
limits of insurance the Architect is required to carry for the Project. Specifically, B1032007 lists Comprehensive
General Liability, Automobile Liability, Workers Compensation and Employers Liability, and Professional Liability.

Environmentally Responsible Design: During Schematic Design, Section 3.2.5.1 requires the Architect to consider
environmentally responsible design alternatives, such as material choices and building orientation, in developing a
design for the Project. The Architect is required to make such considerations consistent with the Owners program,
schedule and budget for the Cost of the Work.

Copyright and Licensing of the Instruments of Services: In B1032007, as in B1411997 and B1511997, the
Architect and the Architects consultants are deemed the authors and owners of their respective Instruments of Service,

and they retain all common law and statutory rights, including copyright. In B1032007, however, the license granted to
the Owner to use the Instruments of Services has been substantially revised. Under B1032007, the Owner receives a
license to use the Instruments of Service solely and exclusively for constructing, using, maintaining, altering and adding
to the Project. This license will only terminate if the Architect rightfully terminates the Agreement for cause due to the
Owners default. In the absence of such a termination by the Architect, the Owner retains the license to use the
Instruments of Service after completion of the Project or the Owners termination of the Agreement. If the Owner
subsequently uses the Instruments of Services without retaining the author of the Instruments of Service, the Owner
agrees to release and indemnify the Architect for such uses. If the Owner rightfully terminates the Agreement for cause,
however, the Owner is not required to release and indemnify the Architect for its further use of the Instruments of
Service. If the Owner terminates the Agreement for its convenience, or the Architect terminates the Agreement due to the
Owners suspension of the Project, B103 provides at Section 11.9 for the Owner to pay a licensing fee to the Architect
for the Owners continued use of the Architects Instruments of Service.

Indemnification: B1032007 contains a provision at Section 8.1.3 requiring the Architect to indemnify the Owner from
claims made by third parties to the extent they are caused by negligent acts or omissions of the Architect. The duty to
indemnify is limited to the available proceeds of insurance coverage.

Binding Dispute Resolution: In the AIA A2012007 family of documents, mediation is a condition precedent to any
form of binding dispute resolution, but binding arbitration is not mandatory for disputes that fail to settle in mediation.
Instead, the parties are required to select at Section 8.2.4 from three choices of binding dispute resolution: (1) arbitration,
(2) litigation or (3) another method that they must identify.

USING B1032007
Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to comply
with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language be
struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that would
completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the completed
and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the software
permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors and
cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not permitted
under the users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and violate the
AIAs copyright.

Article 11 Compensation
There are at least ten methods of computing compensation for architectural services. Four of these methods are time-
based, reflecting in different ways the time spent by the Architect on the Project:

Multiple of Direct Salary Expense, in which direct salaries of designated personnel are multiplied by a factor
representing benefits, overhead and profit.

Multiple of Direct Personnel Expense, in which the salaries plus benefits of designated personnel are multiplied by
a factor representing overhead and profit.

Professional Fee Plus Expenses, in which the salaries, benefits and overhead of designated personnel are the
expense and the fee may be a multiplier, percentage or lump sum representing profit.

Hourly Billing Rates, in which salaries, benefits, overhead and profit are included in the rate for designated
personnel.

Other methods, while they may be indirectly related to time expended on the Project, do not use time as a factor in the
calculation:

Stipulated Sum, in which compensation is listed as a dollar amount.

Percentage of Cost of the Work, in which compensation is calculated by applying an assumed percentage to the
estimated or actual Cost of the Work, whichever is most certain at the time the calculation is made.

Multiple of Consultants Billing, in which Consultants bills are multiplied by a factor representing the Architects
administrative costs, overhead and profit.

Square Footage, in which the square footage of the structure is multiplied by a pricing factor.

the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Construction Industry Arbitration Rules in effect on the
date of the Agreement. A demand for arbitration shall be made in writing, delivered to the other party to this
Agreement, and filed with the person or entity administering the arbitration.

8.3.1.1 A demand for arbitration shall be made no earlier than concurrently with the filing of a request for mediation,
but in no event shall it be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the claim,
dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. For statute of limitations
purposes, receipt of a written demand for arbitration by the person or entity administering the arbitration shall
constitute the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the claim, dispute or other matter in question.

8.3.2 The foregoing agreement to arbitrate and other agreements to arbitrate with an additional person or entity duly
consented to by parties to this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable in accordance with applicable law in any
court having jurisdiction thereof.

8.3.3 The award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with
applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

8.3.4 CONSOLIDATION OR JOINDER
8.3.4.1 Either party, at its sole discretion, may consolidate an arbitration conducted under this Agreement with any
other arbitration to which it is a party provided that (1) the arbitration agreement governing the other arbitration
permits consolidation; (2) the arbitrations to be consolidated substantially involve common questions of law or fact;
and (3) the arbitrations employ materially similar procedural rules and methods for selecting arbitrator(s).

8.3.4.2 Either party, at its sole discretion, may include by joinder persons or entities substantially involved in a
common question of law or fact whose presence is required if complete relief is to be accorded in arbitration, provided
that the party sought to be joined consents in writing to such joinder. Consent to arbitration involving an additional
person or entity shall not constitute consent to arbitration of any claim, dispute or other matter in question not
described in the written consent.

8.3.4.3 The Owner and Architect grant to any person or entity made a party to an arbitration conducted under this
Section 8.3, whether by joinder or consolidation, the same rights of joinder and consolidation as the Owner and
Architect under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 9 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION
9.1 If the Owner fails to make payments to the Architect in accordance with this Agreement, such failure shall be
considered substantial nonperformance and cause for termination or, at the Architects option, cause for suspension of
performance of services under this Agreement. If the Architect elects to suspend services, the Architect shall give
seven days written notice to the Owner before suspending services. In the event of a suspension of services, the
Architect shall have no liability to the Owner for delay or damage caused the Owner because of such suspension of
services. Before resuming services, the Architect shall be paid all sums due prior to suspension and any expenses
incurred in the interruption and resumption of the Architects services. The Architects fees for the remaining services
and the time schedules shall be equitably adjusted.

9.2 If the Owner suspends the Project, the Architect shall be compensated for services performed prior to notice of
such suspension. When the Project is resumed, the Architect shall be compensated for expenses incurred in the
interruption and resumption of the Architects services. The Architects fees for the remaining services and the time
schedules shall be equitably adjusted.

9.3 If the Owner suspends the Project for more than 90 cumulative days for reasons other than the fault of the
Architect, the Architect may terminate this Agreement by giving not less than seven days written notice.

9.4 Either party may terminate this Agreement upon not less than seven days written notice should the other party
fail substantially to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement through no fault of the party initiating the
termination.

9.5 The Owner may terminate this Agreement upon not less than seven days written notice to the Architect for the
Owners convenience and without cause.

Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Project
of Limited Scope

AIA

Document is protected by U.S. Copyright Law and International Treaties. Unauthorized reproduction or distribution of this AIA

Institute of Architects legal counsel, copyright@aia.org.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose. AIA Document B1042007 is a new standard form of agreement between Owner and Architect for building
design and construction contract administration, for use where the Project is limited in scope. If the Project is for very
small commercial or residential construction, consider using B1052007, Standard Form of Agreement Between
Owner and Architect for a Residential or Small Commercial Project. B1042007 is an abbreviated version of
B1012007, Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Architect. This document may be used with a variety
of compensation methods, including percentage of construction cost and stipulated sum.

B1042007 assumes that the Architect will provide cost estimates and will design the Project to meet the Owners
budget for the Cost of the Work. If the Owner will retain a third party to provide cost estimates, or if the Project will
implement fast track, phased or accelerated scheduling, the parties should consider using B1032007, Standard Form
of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Large or Complex Project.

Related Documents. B1042007 is intended to be used in conjunction with AIA Document A1072007, Standard
Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor for a Project of Limited Scope, which it incorporates by reference.
B1042007 also can be used with Architect-Consultant agreements such as AIA Document C4012007. Before
transmitting Instruments of Service or other information in digital form, parties should establish protocols for that
transmission and may use E2012007, Digital Data Protocol Exhibit, for that purpose.

Dispute ResolutionMediation and Arbitration. This document contains provisions for mediation and arbitration of
claims and disputes. Mediation is a non-binding process, but is mandatory under the terms of this agreement. Arbitration
may be mandatory under the terms of this agreement. Arbitration is binding in most states 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 after the dispute arises. Even in those states, under certain circumstances (for example, in a
transaction involving interstate commerce), arbitration provisions may be enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act.

The AIA does not administer dispute resolution processes. To submit disputes to mediation or arbitration or to obtain
copies of the applicable mediation or arbitration rules, call the American Arbitration Association at (800) 7787879, or
visit their Web site at www.adr.org.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents. AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at
balancing the interests of all parties on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not
theory. They are state-of-the-art legal documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet
they are written, as far as possible, in everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended
to be modified to fit individual projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original,
printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms. If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must
be taken to achieve consistency of language and intent among documents. Certain owners require the use of owner-
architect agreements and other contract forms which they prepare. Such forms should be carefully compared to the
standard AIA forms for which they are being substituted before execution of an agreement. If there are any significant
omissions, additions or variances from the terms of the related standard AIA forms, both legal and insurance counsel
should be consulted. Of particular concern is the need for consistency between the Owner-Architect Agreement and
related documents and the anticipated General Conditions of the Contract for Construction in the delineation of the
Architects construction contract administration services and responsibilities.

Letter Forms of Agreement. Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of
a part or the whole of professional services based on oral agreements or understandings. The AIAs agreement forms
have been developed through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In
addition, the standard forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms. Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words Standard Form.
The term standard is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members
or others in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair and balanced
baselines from which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general acceptance
within the construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry spanning 50
stateseach of them free to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industrythey form the basis
for a generally consistent body of construction law.

SIGNIFICANT FEATURES
Services: AIA Document B1042007 arranges the Architects services in terms of Basic Services and Additional
Services. Basic Services are described within three phases of a Project: Design Phase Services, Construction
Documents Phase Services, and Construction Phase Services. Additional Services consist of any services not described
as Basic Services.

Standard of Care: B1042007 contains a provision at Section 2.1 stating the applicable standard of care under which
the Architect shall perform its services.

Environmentally Responsible Design: During Schematic Design, Section 3.2.2 requires the Architect to discuss with
the Owner environmentally responsible design approaches. Such approaches may include decisions regarding material
choices and building orientation. Section 3.2.3 requires the Architect to make such considerations consistent with the
Owners program, schedule and budget for the Cost of the Work.

Copyright and Licensing of the Instruments of Services: In B1042007, the Architect and the Architects consultants
are deemed the authors and owners of their respective Instruments of Service, and they retain all common law and
statutory rights, including copyright. The Owner receives a license to use the Instruments of Service solely and
exclusively for constructing, using, maintaining, altering and adding to the Project. This license will only terminate if the
Architect rightfully terminates the Agreement for cause due to the Owners default. In the absence of such a termination
by the Architect, the Owner retains the license to use the Instruments of Service after completion of the Project or the
Owners termination of the Agreement. If the Owner subsequently uses the Instruments of Services without retaining the
author of the Instruments of Service, the Owner agrees to release and indemnify the Architect for such uses. If the Owner
rightfully terminates the Agreement for cause, however, the Owner is not required to release and indemnify the Architect
for its further use of the Instruments of Service. If the Owner terminates the Agreement for its convenience, or the
Architect terminates the Agreement due to the Owners suspension of the Project, B104 provides at Section 11.9 for the
Owner to pay a licensing fee to the Architect for the Owners continued use of the Architects Instruments of Service.

Binding Dispute Resolution: Mediation is a condition precedent to any form of binding dispute resolution, but binding
arbitration is not mandatory for disputes that fail to settle in mediation. Instead, the parties are required to select at
Section 8.2.3 from three choices of binding dispute resolution: (1) arbitration, (2) litigation or (3) another method that
they must identify.

USING B1042007
Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to comply
with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language be
struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that would
completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the completed
and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the software
permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors and
cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not permitted
under the users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and violate the
AIAs copyright.

Cover Page
Date: The date represents the date the Agreement becomes effective. It may be the date that an oral agreement was
reached, the date the Agreement was originally submitted to the other party, the date authorizing action was taken or the
date of actual execution. Professional services should not be performed prior to the effective date of the Agreement.

Identification of Parties: Parties to this Agreement should be identified using the full legal name under which the
Agreement is to be executed, including a designation of the legal status of both parties (sole proprietorship, partnership,
joint venture, unincorporated association, limited partnership or corporation [general, limited liability, close or
professional], etc.). Where appropriate, a copy of the resolution authorizing the individual to act on behalf of the firm or
entity should be attached.

Project: The proposed Project should be described in sufficient detail to identify (1) the official name or title of the
facility, (2) the location of the site, if known, (3) the proposed building usage, and (4) the size, capacity or scope of the
Project, if known.

Article 1 Initial Information
The parties should take care to be as explicit and detailed as possible with respect to the relevant Initial Information.

Article 4 Additional Services
4.1 The parties should review the list of potential Additional Services and determine if the Architect shall be required
to provide any of the listed services. The Architect is not responsible for any listed service unless specifically so
designated in this Section. For each service identified as the Architects responsibility, the parties should describe in
detail the nature of the service or reference an exhibit setting forth such information.

4.2.1 Insert an agreed-upon number in the space provided.

4.2.3 Insert the number of months beyond which the Architect shall be entitled to compensation as Additional Services.

Article 8 Claims and Disputes.
8.2.3 Select from three choices of binding dispute resolution: (1) arbitration, (2) litigation or (3) another method that
the parties must identify. Other types of dispute resolution include a dispute resolution board or a mini-trial. For
additional information about other methods of dispute resolution, refer to The Construction Industrys Guide to Dispute
Avoidance and Resolution free online at www.adr.org.

Article 11 Compensation
There are at least ten methods of computing compensation for architectural services. Four of these methods are time-
based, reflecting in different ways the time spent by the Architect on the Project:

Multiple of Direct Salary Expense, in which direct salaries of designated personnel are multiplied by a factor
representing benefits, overhead and profit.

Multiple of Direct Personnel Expense, in which the salaries plus benefits of designated personnel are multiplied by
a factor representing overhead and profit.

Professional Fee Plus Expenses, in which the salaries, benefits and overhead of designated personnel are the
expense and the fee may be a multiplier, percentage or lump sum representing profit.

Hourly Billing Rates, in which salaries, benefits, overhead and profit are included in the rate for designated
personnel.

Other methods, while they may be indirectly related to time expended on the Project, do not use time as a factor in the
calculation:

Stipulated Sum, in which compensation is listed as a dollar amount.

Percentage of Cost of the Work, in which compensation is calculated by applying an assumed percentage to the
estimated or actual Cost of the Work, whichever is most certain at the time the calculation is made.

Multiple of Consultants Billing, in which Consultants bills are multiplied by a factor representing the Architects
administrative costs, overhead and profit.

Square Footage, in which the square footage of the structure is multiplied by a pricing factor.

Unit Cost, in which the number of certain units such as rooms, acres, etc., is multiplied by a pricing factor.

Royalty, in which compensation is a share in the Owners income or profit derived from the built facility.

The AIA makes no recommendation as to the appropriateness of any of these methods of compensation on a particular
project, nor does the AIA suggest that the foregoing list includes all methods that are possible, practical or in actual use.
The use of any of the compensation methods described above, singly or in combination with other methods, is a business
decision for the Architect and the Owner. Further, the AIA makes no recommendations and has no guidelines or
schedules that specify the amount of compensation an architect should be paid.

11.1 Insert the basis of compensation for the Architects Basic Services. Sample language is provided below for several
of the most widely used methods of compensation.

If a Multiple of Direct Salary Expense is used, include multipliers using words and numerals in the following insert:
Compensation for services rendered by principals and employees shall be based on a multiple of ________ (__) times
Direct Salary Expense, which shall be defined as the direct salaries of the Architects personnel engaged on the Project
excluding any costs of mandatory or customary contributions and benefits. Compensation for services rendered by
Consultants shall be based on a multiple of ________ (__) times the amounts billed by Consultants.

If a Multiple of Direct Personnel Expense is used, include multipliers using words and numerals in the following
insert: Compensation for services rendered by principals and employees shall be based on a multiple of ________ (__)
times Direct Personnel Expense. Compensation for services rendered by Consultants shall be based on a multiple of
________ (__) times the amounts billed by Consultants.

8.2.2 Mediation, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be administered by the American Arbitration
Association in accordance with its Construction Industry Mediation Procedures in effect on the date of the

8.3.1.1 A demand for arbitration shall be made no earlier than concurrently with the filing of a request for
mediation, but in no event shall it be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based
on the claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. For statute
of limitations purposes, receipt of a written demand for arbitration by the person or entity administering the
arbitration shall constitute the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the claim, dispute or other
matter in question.

8.3.2 The foregoing agreement to arbitrate and other agreements to arbitrate with an additional person or entity
duly consented to by parties to this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable in accordance with applicable law in
any court having jurisdiction thereof.

8.3.3 The award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance
with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

8.3.4 CONSOLIDATION OR JOINDER
8.3.4.1 Either party, at its sole discretion, may consolidate an arbitration conducted under this Agreement with any
other arbitration to which it is a party provided that (1) the arbitration agreement governing the other arbitration
permits consolidation; (2) the arbitrations to be consolidated substantially involve common questions of law or fact;
and (3) the arbitrations employ materially similar procedural rules and methods for selecting arbitrator(s).

8.3.4.2 Either party, at its sole discretion, may include by joinder persons or entities substantially involved in a
common question of law or fact whose presence is required if complete relief is to be accorded in arbitration,
provided that the party sought to be joined consents in writing to such joinder. Consent to arbitration involving an
additional person or entity shall not constitute consent to arbitration of any claim, dispute or other matter in question
not described in the written consent.

8.3.4.3 The Owner and Architect grant to any person or entity made a party to an arbitration conducted under this
Section 8.3, whether by joinder or consolidation, the same rights of joinder and consolidation as the Owner and
Architect under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 9 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION
9.1 If the Owner fails to make payments to the Architect in accordance with this Agreement, such failure shall be
considered substantial nonperformance and cause for termination or, at the Architects option, cause for suspension
of performance of services under this Agreement. If the Architect elects to suspend services, the Architect shall give
seven days written notice to the Owner before suspending services. In the event of a suspension of services, the
Architect shall have no liability to the Owner for delay or damage caused the Owner because of such suspension of
services. Before resuming services, the Architect shall be paid all sums due prior to suspension and any expenses
incurred in the interruption and resumption of the Architects services. The Architects fees for the remaining
services and the time schedules shall be equitably adjusted.

9.2 If the Owner suspends the Project, the Architect shall be compensated for services performed prior to notice of
such suspension. When the Project is resumed, the Architect shall be compensated for expenses incurred in the
interruption and resumption of the Architects services. The Architects fees for the remaining services and the time
schedules shall be equitably adjusted.

9.3 If the Owner suspends the Project for more than 90 cumulative days for reasons other than the fault of the
Architect, the Architect may terminate this Agreement by giving not less than seven days written notice.

9.4 Either party may terminate this Agreement upon not less than seven days written notice should the other party
fail substantially to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement through no fault of the party initiating
the termination.

9.5 The Owner may terminate this Agreement upon not less than seven days written notice to the Architect for the
Owners convenience and without cause.

9.6 In the event of termination not the fault of the Architect, the Architect shall be compensated for services
performed prior to termination, together with Reimbursable Expenses then due and all Termination Expenses as
defined in Section 9.7.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose
AIA Document B1052007 is intended to be used for a residential or small commercial project that is modest in size
and brief in duration. For larger and more complex projects, other AIA agreements are more suitable, such as
B1042007, Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Project of Limited Scope. For even larger or more
complex projects, Owner/Architect agreements B1012007 or B1032007 are appropriate.

Related Documents
B1052007 and AIA Document A1052007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor for a
Residential or Small Commercial Project, comprise the Small Projects family of documents. Within a document family,
common definitions and parallel phrasing combine to form a consistent structure in support of all the major contractual
relationships on the construction project. B105 adopts A105 by reference as it sets forth the Architects responsibilities
during the Construction Phase.

Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) Methods
In order to maintain the condensed nature of this document, arbitration and other ADR provisions are omitted, but the
parties may include them under Article 7. Even if not included in the agreement, the parties may agree to use ADR
methods to resolve disputes instead of filing claims in court. For information about various methods of dispute
resolution, refer to The Construction Industrys Guide to Dispute Avoidance and Resolution, free online at
www.adr.org.

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent. Of particular concern is the need for consistency between the Owner-Architect
Agreement and the anticipated General Conditions of the Contract for Construction in the delineation of the Architects
Construction Phase services and responsibilities.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of
professional services based on oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement forms have been
developed through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition, the
standard forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Use of Current Documents
Prior to using any AIA Contract Document, users should consult the AIA, an AIA component chapter or a current AIA
Documents List to determine the current edition of each document.

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
AIA Document B1052007 is the successor to AIA Document B1551993. B105 incorporates alterations proposed
by architects, contractors, owners, and consultants. Significant change is made to the document format to streamline and
simplify it by removing paragraph numbering. The following are some of the changes made to the contents from
B1551993.

Title: The title of this document is changed to be more specific about its potential uses.

Article 1: The Architects standard of care is revised. The description of the Architects responsibilities is rewritten for
clarity. A fill point is added for a description of any consulting services to be provided by the Architect.

Article 2: Language is added to the Owners responsibilities with respect to providing timely decisions and information,
and requiring the Owner to furnish consulting services required for the Project that are not provided
by the Architect.

Article 3: The definition of the Architects instruments of service is now clarified as drawings, specifications and other
documents prepared by the Architect. Language is added providing that the Owners right to use the instruments of
service ceases upon completion of the Project and that transmission of copyright-protected information is authorized.

Article 4: An addition is made to provide for mutual termination upon seven days notice if the Project is suspended for
more than 90 days.

Article 5: A statement is added that nothing in the Agreement creates a contractual relationship with, or a cause of
action in favor of, a third party against the Owner or the Architect.

USING B1052007
Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to
comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a
document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions.

Under NO circumstances should standard language be struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not
apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that would completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of
fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the completed and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties
should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the software
permits.

ARTICLE 1 ARCHITECTS RESPONSIBILITIES
The Architect shall provide architectural services for the Project as described in this Agreement in a manner consistent
with locally accepted standards for professional skill and care. The Architect shall assist the Owner in determining
consulting services required for the Project. The Architects services include the following consulting services, if any:






During the Design Phase, the Architect shall review the Owners scope of work, budget and schedule and reach an
understanding with the Owner of the Project requirements. Based on the approved Project requirements, the Architect
shall develop a design. Upon the Owners approval of the design, the Architect shall prepare Construction Documents
indicating requirements for construction of the Project and shall coordinate its services with any consulting services
the Owner provides. The Architect shall assist the Owner in filing documents required for the approval of
governmental authorities, in obtaining proposals and in awarding contracts for construction.

During the Construction Phase, the Architect shall act as the Owners representative and provide administration of the
Contract between the Owner and Contractor. The extent of the Architects authority and responsibility during
construction is described in AIA Document A1052007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and
Contractor for a Residential or Small Commercial Project. Generally, the Architects services during construction
include interpreting the Contract Documents, reviewing the Contractors submittals, visiting the site, reviewing and
certifying payments, and rejecting nonconforming Work.

ARTICLE 2 OWNERS RESPONSIBILITIES
The Owner shall provide full information about the objectives, schedule, constraints and existing conditions of the
Project, and shall establish a budget that includes reasonable contingencies and meets the Project requirements. The
Owner shall provide decisions and furnish required information as expeditiously as necessary for the orderly progress
of the Project. The Architect shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of the Owners information.
The Owner shall furnish consulting services not provided by the Architect, but required for the Project, such as
surveying, which shall include property boundaries, topography, utilities, and wetlands information; geotechnical
engineering; and environmental testing services. The Owner shall employ a Contractor, experienced in the type of
Project to be constructed, to perform the construction Work and to provide price information.

ARTICLE 3 USE OF DOCUMENTS
Drawings, specifications and other documents prepared by the Architect are instruments of the Architects service and
are for the Owners use solely with respect to this Project. The Architect shall retain all common law, statutory and
other reserved rights, including the copyright. Upon completion of the Project or termination of this Agreement, the
Owners right to use the instruments of service shall cease. When transmitting copyright-protected information for use

GENERAL INFORMATION

Purpose. AIA Document B141/CMa is a standard form of agreement between Owner and Architect intended for use on
projects where an Owner employs a Construction Manager as an adviser to the Owner to work cooperatively with the
Architect through the customary five phases of the Project: Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction
Documents, Bidding or Negotiation, and Construction.

Related Documents. B141/CMa is intended to be used in conjunction with A201/CMa, General Conditions of the Contract
for Construction, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition. A201/CMa is incorporated by reference into B141/CMa.
B141/CMa can be used with Architect-Consultant agreements such as AIA Documents C141, C142, C161 or C727.

Other AIA Construction Manager-adviser documents available for use in connection with customary services or in
special circumstances include:

A101/CMa, Owner-Contractor Agreement--Construction Manager-Adviser Ed.
A201/CMa, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction--Construction Manager-Adviser Ed.
A511/CMa, Guide for Supplementary Conditions--Construction Manager-Adviser Ed.
B801/CMa, Owner-Construction Manager Agreement

B141/CMa should NOT be used with any documents where the Construction Manager takes on the role of constructor
and may give the Owner a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) or may contract directly with Subcontractors. Examples
of such inappropriate documents are AIA Document A121/CMc, Owner-Construction Manager Agreement Where
Construction Manager is Also the Constructor, and future AIA documents with a number containing the suffix "CMc"
(i.e., Construction Manager-constructor).

In addition, if the Architect wishes to perform construction management services in combination with design and other
administrative services, such as appear in AIA Document B141, a special amendment to or modification of AIA
Document B141 is more appropriate than using B141/CMa.

Arbitration. This document incorporates ARBITRATION by adoption of AIA Document A201/CMa, which provides
for dispute resolution to be conducted according to the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association. Arbitration is BINDING AND MANDATORY in most states and under the federal Arbitration
Act. In a minority of states, arbitration provisions relating to future disputes are not enforceable, but arbitration is
enforceable if agreed to after the dispute arises. A few states require that the contracting parties be especially notified
that the written contract contains an arbitration provision by: a warning on the face of the document, specific placement
of the arbitration provision within the document or specific discussions among the parties prior to signing the document.

Arbitration provisions have been included in most AIA contract forms since 1888 in order to encourage alternative
dispute resolution procedures and to provide users of AIA documents with legally enforceable arbitration provisions
when the parties choose to adopt arbitration into their contract. Individuals may, however, choose to delete the
arbitration provisions based upon their business decisions with the advice of counsel. To obtain a copy of the
Construction Industry Arbitration Rules, write the American Arbitration Association, 140 West 51st Street, New York,
NY 10020-1203.

Use of Non-AIA Forms. If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care
must be taken to achieve consistency of language and intent. Certain owners require the use of owner-architect
agreements and other contract forms that they prepare. Such forms should be carefully compared with the standard AIA
forms for which they are being substituted before execution of an agreement. If there are any significant omissions,
additions or variances from the terms of the related standard AIA forms, both legal and insurance counsel should be
consulted. Of particular concern is the need for consistency between the Owner-Architect Agreement and the
anticipated General Conditions of the Contract for Construction in the delineation of the Architect's Construction Phase
services and responsibilities.

Letter Forms of Agreement. Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of
a part or the whole of professional services based on oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement
forms have been developed through more than seventy-five years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the
courts. In addition, the standard forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION

Format Changes
B141/CMa is a new numeric designation for this document, with the last character in the suffix signifying conditions
wherein the Construction Manager is serving as adviser to the Owner during both design and construction. Former
Article 1, Architect's Services and Responsibilities, has been subdivided into three new articles. All provisions dealing
with payments to the Architect, including Direct Personnel Expense, Reimbursable Expenses and Architect's
Accounting Records, have been consolidated and moved to the end of the document.

Changes in Content
The 1992 edition of B141/CMa revises the 1980 edition to reflect changes made in the most recent edition of AIA
Document A201/CMa, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction. The following changes in content have
been made on the recommendation of owners, AIA members, committees and the AIA Board of Directors.

Article 2: Scope of Architect's Basic Services
2.6.5 New language has been added to indicate that the Architect's on-site visits are for the purpose of determining
that the Work, when completed, will be in accordance with the Contract Documents. A note has been added to alert
users of the form that more extensive site representation is available under Additional Services.

2.6.6 It is noted that the Contractor, not the Architect, is responsible for construction means, methods and schedules.

2.6.8 New language has been added to indicate that communications with the Architect's consultants are to be directed
through the Architect.

2.6.9.2 The Architect's Certificates for Payment are further qualified as not indicating a review of construction means
or methods or review of Subcontractors' requisitions.

2.6.10 It is specifically noted that the Architect's authority to reject Work is not intended to be exercised for the
benefit of the Contractor, Subcontractors, suppliers, or their agents or employees.

2.6.11 The Architect's review of submittals is further qualified to limit such review to the information and design
concepts expressed in the Contract Documents. When professional certificates of performance are required from the
Contractor, the Architect shall be entitled to rely upon them.

2.6.12 Preparation of Change Orders and Construction Change Directives by the Architect is a Basic Service, but
preparation of supporting documentation and data is now an Additional Service.

Article 3: Additional Services
Three new categories of Additional Services have been consolidated under this new article. The Contingent Additional
Services are commenced upon notification of the Owner by the Architect of the need for such services. The other two
categories, Project Representation Beyond Basic Services and Optional Additional Services, require the Owner's written
approval before or after their commencement to authorize payment for those Additional Services.

Institute of Architects legal counsel, copyright@aia.org.

Article 4: Owner's Responsibilities
4.3 New language has been added requiring the Owner to furnish evidence that financial arrangements have been
made to pay the Architect.

4.7 The Owner is now required to furnish tests for hazardous materials at the Owner's expense.

4.12 If the Owner requires the Architect to provide certificates or certifications, the Owner must allow the Architect
14 days for review.

Article 5: Construction Cost
New language abbreviating the Architect's Responsibility for Construction Cost has been added because under the
construction management arrangement the primary responsibility for preparing estimates of Construction Cost is borne
by the Construction Manager.

Article 6: Use of Architect's Drawings, Specifications and Other Documents
It is noted that documents prepared by the Architect in addition to the Drawings and Specifications are also the property
of the Architect, who retains all common law, statutory and other reserved rights.

Article 8: Termination, Suspension or Abandonment
New provisions allow the Architect to terminate the Agreement if the Owner abandons the Project for more than 90
days or fails to make payments to the Architect. Termination Expenses are now determined by using only a percentage
of the compensation earned to the date of termination.

Article 9: Miscellaneous Provisions
Provisions have been added noting that the Architect has no responsibility for the discovery, removal or disposal of
toxic or hazardous substances encountered on the site. Another provision allows the Architect to use representations of
the Project in promotional and professional materials.

Article 10: Payments to the Architect
Computer-aided drafting has been added to the list of Reimbursable Expenses.

Article 11: Basis of Compensation
A new provision has been added to indicate when payments are due and payable.

COMPLETING THE B141/CMA FORM

Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest charges,
arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to comply with state
or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language be
struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that would
completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the completed
and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the software
permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors and
cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not permitted
under the user's limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and violate the
AIA's copyright.

total payment payable for each separate phase of services. These percentages may vary with each Project and do not
necessarily have a direct relationship to the time and efforts of the Architect.

Because phases may overlap in time, these percentages have been expressed separately for each phase, rather than
cumulatively. This facilitates billing when services are being provided in more than one phase at a time.

11.3.1 Insert the basis of compensation for Project Representation Beyond Basic Services.

guard the Owner against defects and deficiencies in the Work. (More extensive site representation may be agreed to as
an Additional Service, as described in Section 3.2.)

2.6.6 The Architect shall not have control over or charge of and shall not be responsible for construction means,
methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work,
since these are the Contractors' responsibility under the Contracts for Construction. The Architect shall not be
responsible for the Contractors' schedules or failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
The Architect shall not be responsible for the performance by the Construction Manager of the services required by the
Construction Manager's agreement with the Owner. The Architect shall not have control over or charge of acts or
omissions of the Contractors, Subcontractors, or their agents or employees, or of any other persons performing services
or portions of the Work.

2.6.7 The Architect shall at all times have access to the Work wherever it is in preparation or progress.

2.6.8 Communications by and with the Architect's consultants shall be through the Architect.

2.6.9 Based on the Architect's observations and evaluations of each Contractor's Application for Payment, the
Architect shall review and certify the amounts due the respective Contractors.

2.6.9.1 The Architect's certification for payment shall constitute a representation to the Owner, based on the Architect's
observations at the site as provided in Section 2.6.5, on the recommendations of the Construction Manager and on the
data comprising the Contractors' Applications for Payment, that, to the best of the Architect's knowledge, information
and belief, the Work has progressed to the point indicated and the quality of the Work is in accordance with the
Contract Documents. The foregoing representations are subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the
Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to results of subsequent tests and inspections, to minor deviations
from the Contract Documents correctable prior to completion and to specific qualifications expressed by the Architect.
The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall further constitute a representation that the Contractor is entitled to
payment in the amount certified.

2.6.9.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a representation that the Architect has (1) made
exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors
and material suppliers and other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor's right to payment or (4)
ascertained how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum.

2.6.10 The Architect shall have authority, after notification to the Construction Manager, to reject Work which does
not conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever the Architect considers it necessary or advisable for implementation
of the intent of the Contract Documents, the Architect will have authority, upon written authorization from the Owner,
to require additional inspection or testing of the Work in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents,
whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither this authority of the Architect nor a
decision made in good faith either to exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility
of the Architect to the Construction Manager, Contractors, Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their
agents or employees or other persons performing portions of the Work.

2.6.11 The Architect shall review and approve or take other appropriate action upon Contractors' submittals such as
Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with
information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The Architect's action shall be taken
with such reasonable promptness as to cause no delay in the Contractors' Work or in construction by the Owner's own
forces, while allowing sufficient time in the Architect's professional judgment to permit adequate review. Review of
such submittals is not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as
dimensions and quantities or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or systems
designed by the Contractors, all of which remain the responsibility of the Contractors to the extent required by the
Contract Documents. The Architect's review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise
specifically stated by the Architect, of construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The
Architect's approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.
When professional certification of performance characteristics of materials, systems or equipment is required by the
Contract Documents, the Architect shall be entitled to rely upon such certification to establish that the materials,
systems or equipment will meet the performance criteria required by the Contract Documents.

Architect shall issue a final Project Certificate for Payment upon compliance with the requirements of the Contract
Documents.

2.6.15 The Architect shall interpret and decide matters concerning performance of the Owner and Contractor under the

CENERAL |NF0RHAT|0N

Purpose
AIA Document B1422004 was created as an entirely new document in 2004 and consists of the Agreement portion
and two exhibits, Exhibit A, Initial Information, and Exhibit B, Consultants Services. B1422004 establishes the
contractual arrangement between an Owner contemplating the design-build method of project delivery and the
Consultant, who may or may not be an architect. Exhibit A provides the location for the parties to memorialize the
initial information and assumptions upon which they base the agreement. B142 does not provide a fixed scope of
consultants services, but instead provides in Exhibit B an extensive menu of services from which the Owner and
consultant may select. Where applicable law requires that services are performed by licensed professionals, the
consultant shall provide those services through the performance of persons or entities so licensed.

Exhibit A sections have the prefix A. before the numbers to distinguish them from the section designations in the
Agreement. Exhibit B sections are similarly distinguished. The Standard Form Exhibits may be used as-is, modified,
or replaced with custom exhibits of the parties creation.

Design-Build is a process in which the Owner contracts directly with one entity to provide both the design and
construction of the project. The Design-Builder may be a design-build entity, an architect, construction contractor, real
estate developer, or any other person or entity legally permitted to do business as a design-builder in the jurisdiction
where the project is located. The design-builders organization may take a variety of legal forms, such as a sole
proprietorship, a partnership, a joint venture, or a corporation. An architect or architectural firm choosing to function
as a design-builder may directly contract to perform design-build services or, alternatively, may form a separate
corporate entity or joint venture for design-build.

Prior to entering into this agreement, any person or entity that wishes to act as the design-builder should consult its
legal counsel and insurance advisers. Some states may restrict or prohibit design-build practices under statutes that
regulate architectural registration, contractor licensing, or incorporation of professionals.

Related Documents
AIA Document B1422004 is published in conjunction with four other documents in the 2004 Design-Build Family
of Documents. This family of documents is intended to govern the relationships among the parties to a design-build
project.

Dispute ResolutionMediation and Arbitration
This document contains provisions for mediation and arbitration of claims and disputes. Mediation is a non-binding
process, but is mandatory under the terms of this agreement. Arbitration may be mandatory under the terms of this
agreement. Arbitration is binding in most states 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 after the dispute arises.
Even in those states, under certain circumstances (for example, in a transaction involving interstate commerce), arbitration
provisions may be enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act.

The AIA does 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 Arbitration Association or call (800) 778-
7879. The American Arbitration Association may also be contacted at http://www.adr.org.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents
AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties on
the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal
documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet they are written, as far as possible, in
everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended to be modified to fit individual
projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original, printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent among documents.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of the Work
on the basis of oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement forms have been developed through more
than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition, the standard forms have been
carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms
Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words "Standard Form." The term "standard"
is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members or others in the
construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair and balanced baselines from
which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general acceptance within the
construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry spanning 50 stateseach free
to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industryAIA documents form the basis for a generally
consistent body of construction law.

Use of Current Documents
Prior to using any AIA Contract Document, users should consult www.aia.org or a local AIA component to verify the
most recent edition.

Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest charges,
arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to comply with
state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language be
struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that would

Purpose
AIA Document B1432004 replaces B9011996, Standard Form of Agreement Between Design/Builder and
Architect, and consists of the Agreement portion and two exhibits, Exhibit A, Initial Information, and Exhibit B,
Architects Services. B1432004 establishes the contractual arrangement between the Design-Builder and the
Architect. Exhibit A provides the location for the parties to memorialize the initial information and assumptions upon
which they base the agreement. B143 does not provide a fixed scope of architects services, but instead provides in
Exhibit B an extensive menu of services from which the Owner and Architect may select.

Design-Build is a process in which the Owner contracts directly with one entity to provide both the design and
construction of the project. The Design-Builder may be a design-build entity, an architect, construction contractor, real
estate developer, or any other person or entity legally permitted to do business as a design-builder in the jurisdiction
where the project is located. The design-builders organization may take a variety of legal forms, such as a sole
proprietorship, a partnership, a joint venture, or a corporation. An architect or architectural firm choosing to function
as a design-builder may directly contract to perform design-build services or, alternatively, may form a separate
corporate entity or joint venture for design-build.

Prior to entering into this agreement, any person or entity that wishes to act as the design-builder should consult its
legal counsel and insurance advisers. Some states may restrict or prohibit design-build practices under statutes that
regulate architectural registration, contractor licensing, or incorporation of professionals.

Related Documents
AIA Document B1432004 is published in conjunction with four other documents in the 2004 Design-Build Family
of Documents. This family of documents is intended to govern the relationships among the parties to a design-build
project.

Dispute ResolutionMediation and Arbitration
This document contains provisions for mediation and arbitration of claims and disputes. Mediation is a non-binding
process, but is mandatory under the terms of this agreement. Arbitration may be mandatory under the terms of this
agreement. Arbitration is binding in most states 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 after the dispute arises.
Even in those states, under certain circumstances (for example, in a transaction involving interstate commerce), arbitration
provisions may be enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act.

The AIA does 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 Arbitration Association or call (800) 778-
7879. The American Arbitration Association may also be contacted at http://www.adr.org.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents
AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties on
the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal
documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet they are written, as far as possible, in
everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended to be modified to fit individual
projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original, printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent among documents.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of the Work
on the basis of oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement forms have been developed through more
than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition, the standard forms have been
carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms
Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words "Standard Form." The term "standard"
is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members or others in the
construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair and balanced baselines from
which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general acceptance within the
construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry spanning 50 stateseach free
to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industryAIA documents form the basis for a generally
consistent body of construction law.

B1432004 is not an update to the B9011996 document that it replaces, but is a wholly new document with a new
one-part format, and new content.

Format
A single standard form document replaces the B9011996 editions Part 1 Agreement for preliminary design and the
sequentially executed Part 2 Agreement covering final design and construction contract administration. The new B143
document integrates preliminary and final design with construction contract administration in a one-part agreement,
and provides greater flexibility in tailoring the standard form to an individual project.

Terms and conditions and the architects compensation are defined in the agreement, with Exhibit A providing the
initial information on which the agreement is based, and Exhibit B providing the scope of the architects services.

Exhibit A sections have the prefix A. before the numbers to distinguish them from the section designations in the
Agreement. Exhibit B sections are similarly distinguished. The Standard Form Exhibits may be used as-is, modified,
or replaced with custom exhibits of the parties creation.

Content
In B143, as in the three other agreements in the 2004 Design-Build family of documents, binding arbitration is not
mandatory, and the parties must select the binding method of dispute resolution from three choices: arbitration,

litigation or another method that the parties must identify. Due to the multiple ways in which design-build is
performed, the architects scope of services is not fixed, but is offered as an extensive menu of choices from which the
parties may select. So as not to prevent the owner from moving forward with the project in the event of a termination
of the design-builder or the architect, new nonexclusive license provisions allow for the owner to use the instruments
of service to complete and maintain the project.

Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest charges,
arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to comply with
state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language be
struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that would
completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the completed and
signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the software
permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors and
cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not permitted
under the user's limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and violate the AIA's
copyright.

Design-Builders budget for the Architects Portion of the Project, the Architect shall make appropriate recommendations
to the Design-Builder to adjust the Projects size, quality or budget and the Design-Builder shall cooperate with the
Architect in making such adjustments. If an increase in the Contract Sum occurring after execution of the Contract between
the Design-Builder and the Contractor causes the budget for the Cost of the Work for the Architects Portion of the Project
to be exceeded, that budget shall be increased accordingly and the Design-Builder shall cooperate with the Architect in
making such adjustments.

industry.

3.1.3.4 If the budget for the Cost of the Work for the Architects Portion of the Project is exceeded by the lowest bona fide
bid or negotiated proposal, the Design-Builder shall:
.1 give written approval of an increase in the budget for the Cost of the Work for the Architects Portion of the
Project;
.2 authorize rebidding or renegotiating of the Project within a reasonable time;
.3 terminate in accordance with Section 3.7.5; or

shall modify the documents for which the Architect is responsible under this Agreement as directed by the Design-Builder
to comply with the budget for the Cost of the Work for the Architects Portion of the Project. The modification of such
documents shall be the limit of the Architect's responsibility under this Section 3.1.3 and the Architect shall be entitled to
compensation in accordance with this Agreement for all services performed whether or not construction is commenced.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Purpose
This document is an amendment for use in circumstances where the Architect agrees to provide the Owner with a
package of construction management services to expand upon, blend with, and supplement the Architects design and
other construction administration services described in AIA Document B141, Standard Form of Agreement Between
Owner and Architect. The Architects role under B141 as an adviser to the Owner is preserved in B144/ARCH-CM, and
the services provided under this Amendment may be readily incorporated with the Architects other services as
described in B141 and A201, the General Conditions of the Contract for Construction. Unlike AIAs guides for
amending particular documents, such as AIA documents A511 and B511, this document is a standard form amendment
rather than a model form.

Related Documents
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with AIA Documents:
a) B141, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect,
b) A201, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, and
c) other related documents that are intended to work with B141 and A201, such as C141, Standard Form of Agreement
between Architect and Consultant.

Under this document, it is not intended that the Architect provide the Owner with a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP)
or determine the means, methods, or safety requirements for the project by contracting directly with subcontractors.
Although this document is philosophically similar to the AIAs Construction Manager-Adviser (CMa) documents,
B144/ARCH-CM should not be used in conjunction with any of the CMa documents, since an underlying premise of
B144/ARCH-CM is that there are only three primary players on the project: the Owner, the Architect (who is providing
construction management services) and the Contractor. Alternatively, the CMa documents, envision a fourth player on
the team who serves as an independent construction manager. For this reason, and to ensure consistency and parallel
language with B141 and A201, the B144/ARCH-CM document should not be used with any other construction
management documents.

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent. Certain owners require the use of owner-architect agreements and other contract
forms that they prepare. Such forms should be carefully compared to the standard AIA forms for which they are being
substituted before execution of an agreement. If there are any significant omissions, additions or variances from the
terms of the related standard AIA forms, both legal and insurance counsel should be consulted. Of particular concern is
the need for consistency between the B141 as amended by B144/ARCH-CM and the anticipated General Conditions of
the Contract for Construction in the delineation of the Architects Construction Phase services and responsibilities.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of
professional services based on oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement forms have been
developed through more than seventy-five years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition,
the standard forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA Documents.

Use of Current Documents
Prior to using any AIA document, the user should consult the AIA, an AIA component chapter or a current AIA
Documents List to determine the current edition of each document.

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION

This is the first edition of AIA Document B144/ARCH-CM. Although similar in its description of services to AIA
Document B801/CMa, this new document has no direct precursor.

COMPLETING THE B144/ARCH-CM FORM

Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to
comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a
document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language be
struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that would
completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the completed
and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the software
permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors and
cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not permitted under
the users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and violate the AIAs
copyright.

Identification of Parties: Parties to this Amendment should be identified in the same manner as they are in the
Agreement.

Project Description: The proposed Project should be described in the same manner as it is in the Agreement.

Article 5: Basis of Compensation
A single method of compensation could be provided for all phases of construction management service. Depending on
Project requirements, however, it may be preferable to insert language covering one form of compensation for Basic
Services performed during the Preconstruction Phases and a different form of compensation for Basic Services
performed during the Construction Phase, based on negotiation and agreement by the parties. These Instructions assume
the use of B141. Before inserting any provision, review and verify that if a cross-reference is made to the Agreement,
there exists a corresponding provision in the executed version of B141 that has already been completed with specific
information about the appropriate method of compensation. Sample language covering several forms of compensation
for Basic Services, which should be inserted in Article 5, is provided below.

Multiple of Direct Personnel Expense:
Compensation for services rendered by principals, employees and consultants shall be based on a Multiple of Direct
Personnel Expense in the same manner as described in the Agreement.

If a Multiple of Direct Salary Expense is used, the term Direct Salary should be substituted for Direct Personnel
above, and it should be defined in Article 6 of this Amendment.

Professional Fee Plus Expenses:
Compensation shall be based on a Professional Fee of ________ Dollars ($______) plus compensation for services
rendered by Principals and employees.

Stipulated Sum:
Compensation shall be a Stipulated Sum of ________ Dollars ($______).

Percentage of Construction Cost:
Compensation shall be based on ________ percent (___%) of the Construction Cost.
If compensation is based on a Stipulated Sum or a Percentage of Construction Cost, the following Section should be
completed and inserted:

Progress payments for Basic Services in each phase shall equal the following percentages of the total Basic
Compensation payable:
Preconstruction Phases ________ percent (___%)
Construction Phase ________ percent (___%)

In Article 5, insert provisions describing compensation for Additional Services. For example, if hourly rates are used,
the provision might read:

Principals time at the fixed rate of ________ Dollars ($______) per hour. For the purposes of this Article, the
Principals are:

These billing rates shall be adjusted annually (semi-annually) in accordance with the Architects adjustments in
compensation for Principals and employees. (Add agreed-upon limitations.)

If a Multiple of Direct Personnel Expense is used, insert a provision similar to the sample language provided above for
Basic Services, and clearly note that Additional Services are involved.

Article 6 Other Conditions or Services
6.1 Any additional reimbursable expense for construction management services should be listed under Section 6.1.

6.2 Include any further information required to describe other services or conditions of this Amendment. The Owner
and the Architect should carefully review the Additional Services listed in the Agreement, so that those to be performed
under Basic Services for the Project are so noted in this Amendment.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose
B1522007 is a standard form of agreement between Owner and Architect for design services related to furniture,
furnishings and equipment (FF&E) as well as to architectural interior design. B1522007 divides the Architects
services into eight phases: Programming, Pre-lease Analysis and Feasibility, Schematic Design, Design Development,
Contract Documents, Bidding and Quotation, Construction Phase Services and FF&E Contract Administration.
B1522007 is based on the previous B171ID2003 and is revised to follow the format and terminology used in the
other 2007 editions of standard form owner-architect agreements.

Related Documents
B1522007 is intended for use in conjunction with AIA Document A2512007, General Conditions of the Contract
for Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment, and AIA Document A2012007, General Conditions of the Contract for
Construction, both of which it incorporates by reference.

Where the Owner requires design services related only to the purchase of FF&E and not including architectural
interior design services, AIA Document B1532007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect
for Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment Design, or AIA Document B2532007, Standard Form of Architects
Services: Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment Design, may be used. However, B2532007 is not a stand-alone
document, and must be incorporated into an owner-architect agreement.

The following other documents in the AIA Interiors Family of Documents are specifically related to the purchase of
FF&E:

A1512007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Vendor for Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment
A7512007, Invitation and Instructions for Quotation for Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment

Uniform Commercial Code
B1522007 and the other documents in the AIA Interiors Family of Documents depart from prior editions of AIA
Interiors documents through their coordination with provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). The UCC is
the legal framework for commercial transactions, including those involving the sale of goods, and it supplies by
statute certain terms that may be omitted from a contract. Generally, the UCC may be obtained from public libraries,
law bookstores and any states department of commerce, or online at the Web site of each respective state.

Because the purchase of FF&E is governed by the UCC, B1522007 has been developed to coordinate with its
provisions. AIA Document A2512007, General Conditions of the Contract for Furniture, Furnishings and
Equipment, recognizes terms used in the UCC such as acceptance and rejection, which have become commercial
standards, and supplements the UCC by adopting industry-familiar practices. Parties to contracts for the design and
purchase of FF&E should become familiar with the applicable provisions of the UCC.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents
AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties
on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal
documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet they are written, as far as possible,
in everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended to be modified to fit individual
projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original, printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent among documents. Certain owners require the use of owner-architect agreements
and other contract forms which they prepare. Such forms should be carefully compared to the standard AIA forms for
which they are being substituted before execution of an agreement. If there are any significant omissions, additions or

variances from the terms of the related standard AIA forms, both legal and insurance counsel should be consulted. Of
particular concern is the need for consistency between the Owner-Architect Agreement and related documents and the
anticipated General Conditions of the Contract for Construction in the delineation of the Architects construction
contract administration services and responsibilities.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of the
Work on the basis of oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement forms have been developed
through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition, the standard
forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms
Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words Standard Form. The term
standard is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members or
others in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair and balanced
baselines from which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general acceptance
within the construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry spanning 50
stateseach free to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industryAIA documents form the
basis for a generally consistent body of construction law.

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
This standard form of architects services document was revised in 2007 so that it would follow the format and
terminology used in the 2007 editions of the following standard form owner-architect agreements: AIA Documents
B1012007, B1032007 and B1042007.

A new Article 1, Initial Information, is added. The Architects responsibilities in Article 2 and the Architects services
in Articles 3 and 4 are changed from the previous edition to conform to the Architects responsibilities and services in
B1012007, B1032007 and B1042007.

There are many other changes to foster clarity in the Owner-Architect agreement as well. Described below are
highlights of major changes in B1522007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for
Architectural Interior Design Services.

Standard of Care: B1522007 contains a new provision at Section 2.2 stating the applicable standard of care under
which the Architect shall perform its services.

Architects Insurance Requirements: Section 2.5 contains a new provision wherein the parties may set forth the
types and limits of insurance the Architect is required to carry for the Project. Specifically, B1522007 lists General
Liability, Automobile Liability, Workers Compensation and Professional Liability.

Copyright and Licensing of the Instruments of Services: In B1522007, as in B171ID2003, the Architect and the

Architects consultants are deemed the authors and owners of their respective Instruments of Service, and they retain
all common law and statutory rights, including copyright. In B1522007, however, the license granted to the Owner to
use the Instruments of Services has been substantially revised. Under B1522007, the Owner receives a license to use
the Instruments of Service solely and exclusively for constructing, using, maintaining, altering and adding to the
Project. This license will only terminate if the Architect rightfully terminates the Agreement for cause due to the
Owners default. In the absence of such a termination by the Architect, the Owner retains the license to use the
Instruments of Service after completion of the Project or the Owners termination of the Agreement. If the Owner
subsequently uses the Instruments of Services without retaining the author of the Instruments of Service, the Owner
agrees to release and indemnify the Architect for such uses. If the Owner rightfully terminates the Agreement for
cause, however, the Owner is not required to release and indemnify the Architect for its further use of the Instruments
of Service. If the Owner terminates the Agreement for its convenience, or the Architect terminates the Agreement due
to the Owners suspension of the Project, B152 provides at Section 11.9 for the Owner to pay a licensing fee to the
Architect for the Owners continued use of the Architects Instruments of Service.

Binding Dispute Resolution: In the AIA A2012007 family of documents, mediation is a condition precedent to any
form of binding dispute resolution, but binding arbitration is not mandatory for disputes that fail to settle in mediation.
Instead, the parties are required to select at Section 8.2.4 from three choices of binding dispute resolution:
(1) arbitration, (2) litigation or (3) another method that they must identify.

USING B1522007
Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to
comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a
document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language
be struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that
would completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the
completed and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the
software permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors
and cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not
permitted under the users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and
violate the AIAs copyright.

Project, if known.

Article 1 Initial Information
The parties should take care to be as explicit and detailed as possible with respect to the relevant Initial Information.

Article 4 Additional Services
4.1 This table lists certain Additional Services that are not described in this scope of services document, but that
may be needed for the Project. The Architect and Owner should discuss the list and complete the table by indicating
whether the services will be provided and, if so, by whom. The Architect shall not perform any listed service unless
specifically designated in the Responsibility column of the table.

Article 11 Compensation
There are at least ten methods of computing compensation for architectural services. Four of these methods are time-
based, reflecting in different ways the time spent by the Architect on the Project:

Multiple of Direct Salary Expense, in which direct salaries of designated personnel are multiplied by a factor
representing benefits, overhead and profit.

Multiple of Direct Personnel Expense, in which the salaries plus benefits of designated personnel are multiplied
by a factor representing overhead and profit.

Professional Fee Plus Expenses, in which the salaries, benefits and overhead of designated personnel are the
expense and the fee may be a multiplier, percentage or lump sum representing profit.

Hourly Billing Rates, in which salaries, benefits, overhead and profit are included in the rate for designated
personnel.

Other methods, while they may be indirectly related to time expended on the Project, do not use time as a factor in the
calculation:

Stipulated Sum, in which compensation is listed as a dollar amount.

Percentage of Cost of the Work, in which compensation is calculated by applying an assumed percentage to the
estimated or actual Cost of the Work, whichever is most certain at the time the calculation is made.

Multiple of Consultants Billing, in which Consultants bills are multiplied by a factor representing the
Architects administrative costs, overhead and profit.

Square Footage, in which the square footage of the structure is multiplied by a pricing factor.

Unit Cost, in which the number of certain units such as rooms, acres, etc., is multiplied by a pricing factor.

Royalty, in which compensation is a share in the Owners income or profit derived from the built facility.

The AIA makes no recommendation as to the appropriateness of any of these methods of compensation on a particular
project, nor does the AIA suggest that the foregoing list includes all methods that are possible, practical or in actual
use. The use of any of the compensation methods described above, singly or in combination with other methods, is a
business decision for the Architect and the Owner. Further, the AIA makes no recommendations and has no guidelines
or schedules that specify the amount of compensation an architect should be paid.

of the Work in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents, whether or not such Work is fabricated,
installed or completed. However, neither this authority of the Architect nor a decision made in good faith either to
exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the Architect to the Contractor,

progressed to the point indicated and that the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The
foregoing representations are subject to (1) an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents
upon Substantial Completion; (2) the results of subsequent tests and inspections; (3) the correction of minor deviations
from the Contract Documents prior to final completion; and (4) specific qualifications expressed by the Architect.

3.10.3.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a representation that the Architect has (1) made
exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work; (2) reviewed construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction, fabrication, procurement, shipment, delivery or
installation; (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from subcontractors and material suppliers and other data
requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractors right to payment; or (4) ascertained how or for what purpose

ARTICLE 6 COST OF THE WORK
6.1 For purposes of the Agreement, the Cost of the Work shall be the total cost to the Owner to construct, purchase
and install all elements of the Project designed or specified by the Architect and shall include contractors and
vendors general conditions costs, overhead and profit. The Cost of the Work does not include the compensation of
the Architect, the costs of the land, rights-of-way, financing, contingencies for changes in the Work or other costs that
are the responsibility of the Owner.

6.2 The Owners budget for the Cost of the Work shall be provided in Article 1, Initial Information. Evaluations of
the Owners budget for the Cost of the Work, the preliminary estimate of the Cost of the Work and updated estimates
of the Cost of the Work prepared by the Architect represent the Architects judgment as a design professional. It is
recognized, however, that neither the Architect nor Owner has control over the cost of labor, materials, furniture,
furnishings or equipment; over the Contractors methods of determining bid prices; or over market conditions.
Accordingly, the Architect cannot and does not warrant or represent that bids or quotations will not vary from the
Owners budget for the Cost of the Work or from any estimate of the Cost of the Work or evaluation prepared or
agreed to by the Architect.

6.3 In preparing estimates of the Cost of the Work, the Architect shall be permitted to include contingencies for
design, bidding and price escalation; to determine what materials, furniture, furnishings and equipment, finishes,
component systems and types of construction are to be included in the Contract Documents; to make reasonable
adjustments in the scope of the Project; and to include in the Contract Documents alternate bids as may be necessary
to adjust the estimated Cost of the Work to meet the Owners budget for the Cost of the Work. The Architects
estimate of the Cost of the Work may be based on current area, volume or similar conceptual estimating techniques. If
an increase in the Contract Sum occurring after execution of the Contract between the Owner and the Contractor
causes the budget for the Cost of the Work to be exceeded, that budget shall be increased accordingly.

6.4 If bidding or requests for quotations have not commenced within 90 days after the Architect submits the Contract
Documents to the Owner, through no fault of the Architect, the Owners budget for the Cost of the Work shall be
adjusted to reflect changes in the general level of prices in the applicable market.

6.5 As the design process progresses through the end of the preparation of the Contract Documents, the Architect
shall update and refine the preliminary estimate of the Cost of the Work. The Architect shall advise the Owner of any
adjustments to previous estimates of the Cost of the Work indicated by changes in Project requirements or general
market conditions. If at any time the Architects estimate of the Cost of the Work exceeds the Owners budget for the
Cost of the Work, the Architect shall make appropriate recommendations to the Owner to adjust the Projects size,
quality or budget, and the Owner shall cooperate with the Architect in making such adjustments.

6.6 If the Owners budget for the Cost of the Work at the conclusion of the Contract Documents Phase Services is
exceeded by the lowest bona fide bid or negotiated proposal, the Owner shall
.1 give written approval of an increase in the budget for the Cost of the Work;
.2 authorize rebidding or renegotiating of the Project within a reasonable time;
.3 terminate in accordance with the accompanying Owner-Architect Agreement;

the Cost of the Work; or
.5 implement another mutually acceptable alternative.

6.7 If the Owner chooses to proceed under Section 6.6.4, the Architect, without additional compensation, shall
modify the Contract Documents as necessary to comply with the Owners budget for the Cost of the Work at the
conclusion of the Contract Documents Phase Services, or the budget as adjusted under Section 6.6.1. The Architects
modification of the Contract Documents shall be the limit of the Architects responsibility under this Article 6.

and exclusively for use in performing services or construction for the Project. If the Architect rightfully terminates this
Agreement for cause as provided in Section 9.4, the license granted in this Section 7.3 shall terminate.

7.3.1 In the event the Owner uses the Instruments of Service without retaining the author of the Instruments of
Service, the Owner releases the Architect and Architects consultant(s) from all claims and causes of action arising
from such uses. The Owner, to the extent permitted by law, further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Architect and its consultants from all costs and expenses, including the cost of defense, related to claims and causes of
action asserted by any third person or entity to the extent such costs and expenses arise from the Owners use of the
Instruments of Service under this Section 7.3.1. The terms of this Section 7.3.1 shall not apply if the Owner rightfully
terminates this Agreement for cause under Section 9.4.

7.4 Except for the licenses granted in this Article 7, no other license or right shall be deemed granted or implied
under this Agreement. The Owner shall not assign, delegate, sublicense, pledge or otherwise transfer any license
granted herein to another party without the prior written agreement of the Architect. Any unauthorized use of the

consultants.

each other and against the contractors, consultants, agents and employees of the other for damages, except such rights
as they may have to the proceeds of such insurance as set forth in AIA Document A2012007, General Conditions of
the Contract for Construction. The Owner or the Architect, as appropriate, shall require of the contractors, consultants,
agents and employees of any of them similar waivers in favor of the other parties enumerated herein.

8.2 MEDIATION
8.2.1 Any claim, dispute or other matter in question arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be subject to

by mediation which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be administered by the American Arbitration
Association in accordance with its Construction Industry Mediation Procedures in effect on the date of the Agreement.
A request for mediation shall be made in writing, delivered to the other party to the Agreement, and filed with the
person or entity administering the mediation. The request may be made concurrently with the filing of a complaint or
other appropriate demand for binding dispute resolution but, in such event, mediation shall proceed in advance of
binding dispute resolution proceedings, which shall be stayed pending mediation for a period of 60 days from the date
of filing, unless stayed for a longer period by agreement of the parties or court order. If an arbitration proceeding is
stayed pursuant to this section, the parties may nonetheless proceed to the selection of the arbitrator(s) and agree upon
a schedule for later proceedings.

mediation shall be subject to arbitration which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be administered by
the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Construction Industry Arbitration Rules in effect on the
date of this Agreement. A demand for arbitration shall be made in writing, delivered to the other party to this
Agreement, and filed with the person or entity administering the arbitration.

8.3.1.1 A demand for arbitration shall be made no earlier than concurrently with the filing of a request for mediation,
but in no event shall it be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the claim,
dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. For statute of limitations
purposes, receipt of a written demand for arbitration by the person or entity administering the arbitration shall
constitute the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the claim, dispute or other matter in question.

Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for Furniture,

GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose
B1532007 is a standard form of agreement intended for use as the contract between the Owner and Architect for
design services related solely to furniture, furnishings and equipment (FF&E). B1532007 divides the Architects
services into six phases: Programming, Schematic Design, Design Development, Contract Documents, Quotation and
FF&E Contract Administration. B1532007 is based on the previous B175ID2003 and is revised to follow the
format and terminology used in the other 2007 editions of standard form owner-architect agreements.

Related Documents
B1532007 is intended for use in conjunction with AIA Document A2512007, General Conditions of the Contract
for Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment, which it incorporates by reference.

The following other documents in the AIA Interiors Family of Documents are specifically related to the purchase of
FF&E:

A1512007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Vendor for Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment
A7512007, Invitation and Instructions for Quotation for Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment

Where the Owner requires design services related to the purchase of FF&E as well as architectural interior design
services, AIA Document B1522007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for Architectural
Interior Design Services, or AIA Document B2522007, Standard Form of Architects Services: Architectural
Interior Design, may be used. However, B2522007 is not a stand-alone document, and must be incorporated into an
owner-architect agreement.

Uniform Commercial Code
B1532003 and the other documents in the AIA Interiors Family of Documents depart from prior editions of AIA
Interiors documents through their coordination with provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). The UCC is
the legal framework for commercial transactions, including those involving the sale of goods, and it supplies by
statute certain terms that may be omitted from a contract. Generally, the UCC may be obtained from public libraries,
law bookstores and any states department of commerce, or online at the Web site of each respective state.

Because the purchase of FF&E is governed by the UCC, B1532007 has been developed to coordinate with its
provisions. AIA Document A2512007, General Conditions of the Contract for Furniture, Furnishings and
Equipment, recognizes terms used in the UCC such as acceptance and rejection, which have become commercial
standards, and supplements the UCC by adopting industry-familiar practices. Parties to contracts for the design and
purchase of FF&E should become familiar with the applicable provisions of the UCC.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents
AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties
on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal
documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet they are written, as far as possible,
in everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended to be modified to fit individual
projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original, printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent among documents. Certain owners require the use of owner-architect agreements
and other contract forms which they prepare. Such forms should be carefully compared to the standard AIA forms for
which they are being substituted before execution of an agreement. If there are any significant omissions, additions or
variances from the terms of the related standard AIA forms, both legal and insurance counsel should be consulted. Of

particular concern is the need for consistency between the Owner-Architect Agreement and related documents and the
anticipated General Conditions of the Contract for Construction in the delineation of the Architects construction
contract administration services and responsibilities.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of the
Work on the basis of oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement forms have been developed
through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition, the standard
forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms
Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words Standard Form. The term
standard is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members or
others in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair and balanced
baselines from which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general acceptance
within the construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry spanning 50
stateseach free to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industryAIA documents form the
basis for a generally consistent body of construction law.

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
This standard form of architects services document was revised in 2007 so that it would follow the format and
terminology used in the 2007 editions of the following standard form owner-architect agreements: AIA Documents
B1012007, B1032007 and B1042007.

A new Article 1, Initial Information, is added. The Architects responsibilities in Article 2 and the Architects services
in Articles 3 and 4 are changed from the previous edition to conform to the Architects responsibilities and services in
B1012007, B1032007 and B1042007.

There are many other changes to foster clarity in the Owner-Architect agreement as well. Described below are
highlights of major changes in B1532007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for Furniture,
Furnishings and Equipment Design Services.

Standard of Care: B1532007 contains a new provision at Section 2.2 stating the applicable standard of care under
which the Architect shall perform its services.

Architects Insurance Requirements: Section 2.5 contains a new provision wherein the parties may set forth the
types and limits of insurance the Architect is required to carry for the Project. Specifically, B1532007 lists General
Liability, Automobile Liability, Workers Compensation and Professional Liability.

Copyright and Licensing of the Instruments of Services: In B1532007, as in B175ID2003, the Architect and the
Architects consultants are deemed the authors and owners of their respective Instruments of Service, and they retain
all common law and statutory rights, including copyright. In B1532007, however, the license granted to the Owner to
use the Instruments of Services has been substantially revised. Under B1532007, the Owner receives a license to use
the Instruments of Service solely and exclusively for constructing, using, maintaining, altering and adding to the
Project. This license will only terminate if the Architect rightfully terminates the Agreement for cause due to the
Owners default. In the absence of such a termination by the Architect, the Owner retains the license to use the
Instruments of Service after completion of the Project or the Owners termination of the Agreement. If the Owner
subsequently uses the Instruments of Services without retaining the author of the Instruments of Service, the Owner
agrees to release and indemnify the Architect for such uses. If the Owner rightfully terminates the Agreement for
cause, however, the Owner is not required to release and indemnify the Architect for its further use of the Instruments
of Service. If the Owner terminates the Agreement for its convenience, or the Architect terminates the Agreement due
to the Owners suspension of the Project, B153 provides at Section 10.6 for the Owner to pay a licensing fee to the
Architect for the Owners continued use of the Architects Instruments of Service.

Binding Dispute Resolution: In the AIA A2012007 family of documents, mediation is a condition precedent to
any form of binding dispute resolution, but binding arbitration is not mandatory for disputes that fail to settle in
mediation. Instead, the parties are required to select at Section 7.2.4 from three choices of binding dispute resolution:
(1) arbitration, (2) litigation or (3) another method that they must identify.

USING B1532007
Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to
comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a
document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language
be struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that
would completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the
completed and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the
software permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors
and cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not
permitted under the users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and
violate the AIAs copyright.

the firm or entity should be attached.

Project: The proposed Project should be described in sufficient detail to identify (1) the official name or title of the
facility; (2) the location of the Project premises, if known; and (3) the size, capacity or scope of the Project, if known.

Article 1 Initial Information
The parties should take care to be as explicit and detailed as possible with respect to the relevant Initial Information.

Article 4 Additional Services
4.1 This table lists certain Additional Services that are not described in this scope of services document, but that
may be needed for the Project. The Architect and Owner should discuss the list and complete the table by indicating
whether the services will be provided and, if so, by whom. The Architect shall not perform any listed service unless
specifically designated in the Responsibility column of the table.

4.2 Descriptions of Additional Services
Provide detailed scope of services descriptions of any Additional Services designated in Section 4.1, unless you have
chosen to provide such descriptions in an exhibit attached to the document.

Article 7 Claims and Disputes.
7.2.4 Select from three choices of binding dispute resolution: (1) arbitration, (2) litigation or (3) another method that
the parties must identify. Other types of dispute resolution include a dispute resolution board or a mini-trial. For
additional information about other methods of dispute resolution, refer to The Construction Industrys Guide to
Dispute Avoidance and Resolution free online at www.adr.org.

Article 10 Compensation
There are at least ten methods of computing compensation for architectural services. Four of these methods are time-
based, reflecting in different ways the time spent by the Architect on the Project:

Multiple of Direct Salary Expense, in which direct salaries of designated personnel are multiplied by a factor
representing benefits, overhead and profit.

Multiple of Direct Personnel Expense, in which the salaries plus benefits of designated personnel are multiplied
by a factor representing overhead and profit.

Professional Fee Plus Expenses, in which the salaries, benefits and overhead of designated personnel are the
expense and the fee may be a multiplier, percentage or lump sum representing profit.

Hourly Billing Rates, in which salaries, benefits, overhead and profit are included in the rate for designated
personnel.

Other methods, while they may be indirectly related to time expended on the Project, do not use time as a factor in the
calculation:

Stipulated Sum, in which compensation is listed as a dollar amount.

Percentage of Cost of the Work, in which compensation is calculated by applying an assumed percentage to the
estimated or actual Cost of the Work, whichever is most certain at the time the calculation is made.

Multiple of Consultants Billing, in which Consultants bills are multiplied by a factor representing the
Architects administrative costs, overhead and profit.

Square Footage, in which the square footage of the structure is multiplied by a pricing factor.

Unit Cost, in which the number of certain units such as rooms, acres, etc., is multiplied by a pricing factor.

Royalty, in which compensation is a share in the Owners income or profit derived from the built facility.

The AIA makes no recommendation as to the appropriateness of any of these methods of compensation on a particular
project, nor does the AIA suggest that the foregoing list includes all methods that are possible, practical or in actual
use. The use of any of the compensation methods described above, singly or in combination with other methods, is a
business decision for the Architect and the Owner. Further, the AIA makes no recommendations and has no guidelines
or schedules that specify the amount of compensation an architect should be paid.

10.1 Insert the basis of compensation for the Architects Basic Services. Sample language is provided below for
several of the most widely used methods of compensation.

If a Multiple of Direct Salary Expense is used, include multipliers using words and numerals in the following insert:
Compensation for services rendered by principals and employees shall be based on a multiple of ________ (__)
times Direct Salary Expense, which shall be defined as the direct salaries of the Architects personnel engaged on the
Project excluding any costs of mandatory or customary contributions and benefits. Compensation for services
rendered by Consultants shall be based on a multiple of ________ (__) times the amounts billed by Consultants.

If a Multiple of Direct Personnel Expense is used, include multipliers using words and numerals in the following
insert: Compensation for services rendered by principals and employees shall be based on a multiple of ________
(__) times Direct Personnel Expense. Compensation for services rendered by Consultants shall be based on a multiple
of ________ (__) times the amounts billed by Consultants.

If a Professional Fee Plus Expenses is to be used, include the dollar figure and the appropriate multipliers (using
words and numerals) in the following insert: Compensation shall be a Fixed Fee of ________ Dollars ($______) plus
a multiple of ________ (__) times Direct Personnel Expense. Compensation for services rendered by Consultants
shall be based on a multiple of ________ (__) times the amounts billed by Consultants.

Alternatively, the fee (representing profit) may be calculated as a multiplier or percentage.

If Hourly Billing Rates are used, include the cumulative amount for salary, benefits, overhead and profit to fix each
rate using words and numerals in the following insert: Compensation for services rendered by Principals and
employees shall be based upon the hourly billing rates set forth below:

1. Principals time at the fixed rate of ________ Dollars ($______) per hour. For the purposes of this Agreement, the

7.3 ARBITRATION
7.3.1 If the parties have selected arbitration as the method for binding dispute resolution in this Agreement, any
claim, dispute or other matter in question arising out of or related to this Agreement subject to, but not resolved by,

the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Construction Industry Arbitration Rules in effect on the
date of this Agreement. A demand for arbitration shall be made in writing, delivered to the other party to this
Agreement, and filed with the person or entity administering the arbitration.

7.3.1.1 A demand for arbitration shall be made no earlier than concurrently with the filing of a request for mediation,
but in no event shall it be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the claim,
dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. For statute of limitations
purposes, receipt of a written demand for arbitration by the person or entity administering the arbitration shall
constitute the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the claim, dispute or other matter in question.

consented to by parties to this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable in accordance with applicable law in any

other arbitration to which it is a party provided that (1) the arbitration agreement governing the other arbitration
permits consolidation; (2) the arbitrations to be consolidated substantially involve common questions of law or fact;
and (3) the arbitrations employ materially similar procedural rules and methods for selecting arbitrator(s).

7.3.4.2 Either party, at its sole discretion, may include by joinder persons or entities substantially involved in a
common question of law or fact whose presence is required if complete relief is to be accorded in arbitration, provided
that the party sought to be joined consents in writing to such joinder. Consent to arbitration involving an additional
person or entity shall not constitute consent to arbitration of any claim, dispute or other matter in question not
described in the written consent.

7.3.4.3 The Owner and Architect grant to any person or entity made a party to an arbitration conducted under this
Section 7.3, whether by joinder or consolidation, the same rights of joinder and consolidation as the Owner and
Architect under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 8 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION
8.1 If the Owner fails to make payments to the Architect in accordance with this Agreement, such failure shall be
considered substantial nonperformance and cause for termination or, at the Architects option, cause for suspension of
performance of services under this Agreement. If the Architect elects to suspend services, the Architect shall give
seven days written notice to the Owner before suspending services. In the event of a suspension of services, the
Architect shall have no liability to the Owner for delay or damage caused the Owner because of such suspension of
services. Before resuming services, the Architect shall be paid all sums due prior to suspension and any expenses
incurred in the interruption and resumption of the Architects services. The Architects fees for the remaining services
and the time schedules shall be equitably adjusted.

8.2 If the Owner suspends the Project, the Architect shall be compensated for services performed prior to notice of
such suspension. When the Project is resumed, the Architect shall be compensated for expenses incurred in the
interruption and resumption of the Architects services. The Architects fees for the remaining services and the time
schedules shall be equitably adjusted.

8.3 If the Owner suspends the Project for more than 90 cumulative days for reasons other than the fault of the
Architect, the Architect may terminate this Agreement by giving not less than seven days written notice.

8.4 Either party may terminate this Agreement upon not less than seven days written notice should the other party
fail substantially to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement through no fault of the party initiating the
termination.

consent of the other, except that the Owner may assign this Agreement to a lender providing financing for the Project
if the lender agrees to assume the Owners rights and obligations under this Agreement.

9.4 If the Owner requests the Architect to execute certificates, the proposed language of such certificates shall be
submitted to the Architect for review at least 14 days prior to the requested dates of execution. If the Owner requests
the Architect to execute consents reasonably required to facilitate assignment to a lender, the Architect shall execute

information considered by the Owner to be confidential or proprietary. The Owner shall provide professional credit
for the Architect in the Owners promotional materials for the Project.

business proprietary, the receiving party shall keep such information strictly confidential and shall not disclose it to
any other person except to (1) its employees, (2) those who need to know the content of such information in order to
perform services or construction solely and exclusively for the Project, or (3) its consultants and contractors whose
contracts include similar restrictions on the use of confidential information.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose. AIA Document B1612002 is designed to assist U.S. architects involved in projects based in foreign
countries, where the U.S. architect is hired on a consulting basis for design services and a local architect will be
retained. The document is intended to clarify the assumptions, roles, responsibilities and obligations of the parties; to
provide a clear, narrative description of services; and to facilitate, strengthen and maintain the working and contractual
relationships between parties.

Note: Because of foreign practices, the term Owner has been replaced with Client throughout the document and these
instructions.

Note: Because it is assumed that the U.S. architect is not licensed to practice architecture in the foreign country where
the Project is located, the term Consultant is used throughout the document and these instructions.

B1612002 assumes that
this document will be used by the Consultant for a project located outside of the United States;
the Consultant is not licensed to practice architecture in the foreign country where the Project is located and
must be referred to as a consultant rather than an architect;
there is a direct relationship between the Client and the Consultant;
there is a Local Architect linked contractually to either the Client or the Consultant; and
terms in this agreement shall have the same meaning as standard American English.

Related Documents. The AIA has published as part of the International series of documents, this document, B1612002,
and AIA Document B1622002, Abbreviated Form of Agreement Between Client and Consultant.

Use of Current AIA Documents. Prior to using any AIA Contract Document, users should consult the AIA Contract
Documents Web site, www.aia.org/documents, or a local AIA chapter to make certain they are using the most recent edition.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents. AIA Contract Documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed
at balancing the interests of all parties involved in construction and building projects. The documents reflect actual
industry practice, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal documents regularly revised to keep up with changes in law
and the industryyet they are written, as far as possible, in everyday language. The standard AIA Contract Documents
have been developed through more than 100 years and have been tested repeatedly in the courts.

Standard Forms. Most AIA Contract Documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words standard
form. Standard is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members or
others in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended for use as fair and balanced baselines
from which parties can begin to negotiate. AIA Contract Documents are flexible: they are intended for modification to fit
individual projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from original printed language.

Letter Forms of Agreement. Letter Forms of Agreement and oral agreements or understandings are generally
discouraged by the AIA as the basis for the performance of a part of the whole of the Work.

Use of Non-AIA Contract Documents. If a combination of AIA Contract Documents and non-AIA documents is to be
used, particular care must be taken to achieve consistency of language and intent among documents.

Reproductions. This document is a copyrighted work and may not be reproduced or excerpted from without the
express written permission of the AIA. There is no implied permission to reproduce this document, nor does
membership in The American Institute of Architects confer any further rights to reproduce this document.

The AIA hereby grants the purchaser a limited license to reproduce a maximum of ten copies of a completed B1612002,
but only for use in connection with a particular project. The AIA will not permit reproduction outside of the limited
license for reproduction granted above, except upon written request and receipt of written permission from the AIA.

Rights to reproduce the document may vary for users of AIA software. Licensed AIA software users should consult the
End User License Agreement (EULA).

Mediation and Arbitration. AIA Document B1612002 contains provisions for mediation and arbitration of claims
and disputes. Mediation is a nonbinding process, but it is mandatory under the terms of this Agreement.

Arbitration is mandatory under the terms of this Agreement in accordance with the rules of the United Nations
Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL).

Neither the AIA nor UNCITRAL administer dispute resolution processes. However, either UNCITRAL or the
American Arbitration Association (AAA) can provide an international list of agencies that do provide these
administrative services.

Modifications. Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary
and interest charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require
modification to comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or
modifying a document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language be
struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that would
completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the completed
and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the software
permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors and
cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not permitted
under the users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and violate the
AIAs copyright.

COMPLETING B1612002
Because applicable laws, methods of adjudication, standards of care, professional registration and insurance and tax
implications on projects in foreign lands may be different, users of AIA Document B1612002 are encouraged to
consult an attorney before completing or modifying this or any AIA Contract Document. The Consultant should also
refer to related documents published by the AIA International Committee PIA before entering into this agreement.

copy of the resolution authorizing the individual to act on behalf of the firm or entity should be attached. Other
information, such as telephone numbers and electronic addresses, may also be added.

Project Description: The proposed Project should be described in sufficient detail to identify (1) the official name or
title of the facility; (2) the location of the site, if known; (3) the proposed building type and usage; and (4) the size,
capacity or scope of the Project, if known.

Article 1 Initial Information
The parties should complete each blank section following a prompting statement in this Article. If a statement is not
applicable to the Project, the parties should insert a declaration to that effect in the blank following the statement. No
spaces in Article 1 should be left blank.

In this Article, the parties describe or identify, if known at the time of the Contracts execution, certain information and
assumptions about the Project, such as the physical, legal, financial and time parameters, and key persons or entities
connected with the Project.

1.1.2 On projects where it is appropriate, include topographical descriptions and information about easements, rights
of way and zoning as part of the site description.

1.1.4 On projects where it is appropriate, include information regarding easements, rights of way and zoning as part of
the pertinent legal information.

1.2.3 It is assumed that the Cost Consultant is independent of the Client and Consultant and is knowledgeable about
construction costs in the location of the Project.

Article 3 Services Provided by the Client
The Local Architect may provide these services.

3.5 Because the Consultant may not be familiar with local issues relating to the availability of labor or materials, the
Consultant should not take responsibility for cost control issues.

Article 4 Services of the Local Architect
Article 4 defines the essential terms relative to the responsibilities of the Local Architect. The Consultant is entitled to
assume the Client has incorporated these terms into the Clients Agreement with the Local Architect. This Article
assures the services of the Local Architect are compatible with the Consultants services. It is important that the Local
Architect is fluent in American English to (1) translate local regulations and codes for the Consultant and (2) to translate
for the Consultant when meetings are not conducted in American English.

4.2 The Client and Consultant should identify the individual who will translate documents for the Consultants
review. Preferably, this person should be someone in the Clients office who is fluent in American English.

4.9 The Consultant needs to assure compatible technology for telecommunication and data transmissions among the
Project team as well as computer software compatibility.

4.10 Examples of other services required of the Local Architect include local transportation, residency permits,
administrative support and logistical support.

Article 5 Responsibilities of the Parties
This Article has been included concerning the parties relationship to each other and to others involved in the Project.
The provisions relating to the Clients responsibilities have been expanded upon to, among other things, require that the
Client provide, upon written request, information necessary for the Consultant to give notice of and enforce lien rights,
and to establish that the Client cannot significantly change the budget without a corresponding change in the Project
scope and quality. The provisions relating to the Consultants responsibilities include provisions on confidentiality and
conflicts of interests.

5.2.2 The Consultant should be aware that the standard of care varies from country to country and that strict liability
may be imposed on the Consultant in some countries. The Consultant should verify whether this is the case and, if so,
how this will have an impact in its provision of services.

Documents, e-mail The American Institute of Architects legal counsel, copyright@aia.org.



Article 6 Terms and Conditions
6.1.1 The Berne Convention Treaty in most, but not all, countries governs international copyright law.

6.2 The Consultant should be aware that the concept of Change in Services is not standard practice in every country.
In many jurisdictions it is customary for the Consultants fixed fee to include all changes in services.

6.5.1 This Agreement assumes that United States laws and customs shall be the standard and that standard American
English meanings shall govern if this Agreement is translated into another language.

6.5.3 A time period is stated for the statute of limitations to bring certainty to the Agreement in the absence of
applicable local law.

Article 7 Payment to the Consultant
Payment is one of the most difficult issues in international work. It is recommended that a retainer equivalent to the
Consultants projected fees for the first three to four months of the contract be established until the first payment has
been received and to provide protection for payment of the final invoice. Further, a mechanism should be established for
the transfer of funds. Currency fluctuation and exchange issues can be avoided by requesting that payments be made in
U.S. dollars.

7.4 The Consultant should explain the concept of Reimbursable Expenses to the Client, as in many jurisdictions this is
not standard practice.

7.12 The Consultant should obtain advice regarding the effect of foreign taxes and other monetary exchange and
interest issues on its fees; the importation of its Instruments of Service into a foreign country; and the effect of overseas
income on its local tax liability.

Article 8 Definitions
The definitions in this Agreement are distinct from those in other AIA Contract Documents and should be carefully reviewed.

COMPLETING B1612002 EXHIBITS
Exhibit B Schematic Design/Design Development Services
This Exhibit describes the normal design disciplines included in the Agreement and contains provisions defining and
describing Schematic Design Documents and Design Development Documents. If other design services are to be
included in the Agreement, they may be designated and described in Exhibit E.

Exhibit D Construction Procurement/Construction Services
D.2.4.1 The Consultant may choose to perform this service from the Consultants home office.

Exhibit E Consultants Services Matrix
This Exhibit is intended as a tool for allocating responsibilities and defining the schedules and deliverables for the
Project. The use of this document is strongly recommended to facilitate the discussion between the Client and
Consultant on the scope of services to be provided.

Exhibit F Projected Travel Costs
Exhibit F should be used to establish project milestones, project costs, foreign travel and the number of trips required.

Exhibit G Table of Hourly Rates
Exhibit G assumes a flat rate.

EXECUTING AIA DOCUMENT B1612002
Though this document may precede the execution of other contracts under which portions of the Work will be
performed, it is recommended that all terms and conditions between all parties involved on the Project be shared
previous to the commencement of the Work. Monetary terms associated with individual contracts between the Client
and Consultant or the Client and Local Architect may be blocked out, but information and knowledge regarding the
scope of the Work and each partys expected portion thereof are crucial to the sound completion of any project
involving multiple parties.

Persons executing B1612002 should indicate the capacity in which they are acting and the authority under which they
are executing the Agreement. Where appropriate, a copy of the resolution authorizing the individual to act on behalf of
the firm or entity should be attached.

D.2.2.4 The Consultant shall have the authority to reject Work that does not conform to the Construction Documents.
Whenever the Consultant considers it necessary or advisable, the Consultant will have authority to require inspection or
testing of the Work, whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither this authority of the
Consultant, nor a decision made in good faith either to exercise or not to exercise such authority, shall give rise to a duty

or responsibility of the Consultant to the Contractor, subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their agents or
employees or other persons or entities performing portions of the Work.

D.2.3 CERTIFICATION OF PAYMENTS TO THE CONTRACTOR
Unless the Client has retained a Cost Consultant identified in Section 1.3.3 to provide such review and certification, the
Consultant shall review and certify the amounts due the Contractor and shall issue Certificates for Payment in such amounts.

D.2.4 SUBMITTALS
D.2.4.1 The Consultant shall review and approve or take other appropriate action upon the Contractor's submittals, such
as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with
information given and the design concept expressed in the Construction Documents. Review of such submittals is not
conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of details, such as dimensions and quantities, or
for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or systems. The Consultants review shall not
constitute approval of safety precautions, construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The
Consultants approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.

D.2.4.2 The Consultant shall maintain a record of submittals and copies of submittals supplied by the Contractor.

D.2.4.3 The Consultant shall be entitled to rely upon the adequacy, accuracy and completeness of the services,
certifications or approvals performed by any consultants retained by the Contractor.

D.2.5 CHANGES IN THE WORK
D.2.5.1 The Consultant shall prepare Change Orders for the Clients approval and execution. The Consultant may
authorize minor changes in the Work not involving an adjustment in Contract Sum or an extension of Contract Time that
are consistent with the intent of the Construction Documents.

D.2.5.2 The Consultant shall review requests by the Client or Contractor for changes in the Work when such requests are
accompanied by sufficient supporting data and information to permit the Consultant to make a reasonable determination
without extensive investigation or preparation of additional drawings or specifications.

D.2.5.3 If the Consultant determines that implementation of the requested changes would result in a material change to
the Contract, the Client may authorize further investigation of such change. Upon such authorization, and based upon
information furnished by the Contractor, if any, the Consultant shall obtain from the Cost Consultant an estimate of the
additional cost and time that might result from such change, and shall include any additional costs attributable to a
Change in Services of the Consultant. The Consultant shall then incorporate those estimates into a Change Order for the
Clients execution or negotiation with the Contractor.

D.2.5.4 The Consultant shall maintain records relative to changes in the Work.

D.2.6 PROJECT COMPLETION
D.2.6.1 The Consultant shall conduct inspections to determine the date or dates of Substantial Completion and the date
of final completion; shall receive from the Contractor and forward to the Client for the Clients review and records,
written warranties and related documents required by the Construction Documents and assembled by the Contractor; and
shall issue a final Certificate for Payment based upon a final inspection indicating that, to the best of the Consultants
knowledge and belief, the Work complies with the requirements of the Construction Documents.

D.2.6.2 The Consultants inspection shall be conducted with the Clients Designated Representative to check for
conformance of the Work with the requirements of the Construction Documents and to review and amend, if appropriate,
the list submitted by the Contractor of Work to be completed or corrected.

D.2.6.3 When the Work is found to be substantially complete, the Consultant shall inform the Client about the balance of
the Contract Sum remaining to be paid to the Contractor, including any amounts needed to be paid for final completion or
correction of the Work.

2002 Instructions
Abbreviated Form of Agreement Between Client and Consultant
For use where the Project is located outside the United States

AIA Document B162 2002 (formerly B621INT 2002). Copyright 2002 by The American Institute of Architects. All rights reserved.
WARNING: This AIA

Document is protected by U.S. Copyright Law and International Treaties. Unauthorized reproduction or distribution of this
AIA

Document, or any portion of it, may result in severe civil and criminal penalties, and will be prosecuted to the maximum extent possible
under the law. Purchasers are permitted to reproduce ten (10) copies of this document when completed. To report copyright violations of AIA Contract
Documents, e-mail The American Institute of Architects legal counsel, copyright@aia.org.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Purpose
AIA Document B1622002 is an abbreviated version of B1612002, Standard Form of Agreement between Client
and Consultant. The document is designed to assist U.S. architects involved in projects based in foreign countries,
where the U.S. architect is hired on a consulting basis for design services and a local architect will be retained. The
document is intended to clarify the assumptions, roles, responsibilities and obligations of the parties; to provide a clear,
narrative description of services; and to facilitate, strengthen and maintain the working and contractual relationships
between parties.

Note: Because of foreign practices, the term Owner has been replaced with Client throughout the document and these
instructions.

Note: Because it is assumed that the U.S. architect is not licensed to practice architecture in the foreign country where
the Project is located, the term Consultant is used throughout the document and these instructions.

B1622002 assumes that:
this document will be used by the Consultant for a project located outside of the United States;
the Consultant is not licensed to practice architecture in the foreign country where the Project is located
and must be referred to as a consultant rather than an architect;
there is a direct relationship between the Client and the Consultant;
there is a Local Architect linked contractually to either the Client or the Consultant; and
terms in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as standard American English.

Use of Current AIA Documents
Prior to using any AIA Contract Document, users should consult the AIA Contract Documents Web site,
www.aia.org/documents, or a local AIA chapter to make certain they are using the most recent edition.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents
AIA Contract Documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties
involved in construction and building projects. The documents reflect actual industry practice, not theory. They are
state-of-the-art legal documents regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet they are written,
as far as possible, in everyday language. The standard AIA Contract Documents have been developed through more
than 100 years and have been tested repeatedly in the courts.

Standard Forms
Most AIA Contract Documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words standard form.
Standard is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members or
others in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended for use as fair and balanced
baselines from which parties can begin to negotiate. AIA Contract Documents are flexible: they are intended for
modification to fit individual projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from original
printed language.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter Forms of Agreement and oral agreements or understandings are generally discouraged by the AIA as the basis for
the performance of a part of the whole of the Work.

Use of Non-AIA Contract Documents
If a combination of AIA Contract Documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to
achieve consistency of language and intent among documents.

Reproductions
This document is a copyrighted work and may not be reproduced or excerpted from without the express written
permission of the AIA. There is no implied permission to reproduce this document, nor does membership in The
American Institute of Architects confer any further rights to reproduce this document.

The AIA hereby grants the purchaser a limited license to reproduce a maximum of ten copies of a completed B162
2002, but only for use in connection with a particular project. The AIA will not permit reproduction outside of the
limited license for reproduction granted above, except upon written request and receipt of written permission from the
AIA.

Rights to reproduce the document may vary for users of AIA software. Licensed AIA software users should consult the
End User License Agreement (EULA).

Mediation and Arbitration
AIA Document B1622002 contains provisions for mediation and arbitration of claims and disputes. Mediation is a
nonbinding process, but it is mandatory under the terms of this Agreement.

Arbitration is mandatory under the terms of this Agreement in accordance with the rules of the United Nations
Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL).

Neither the AIA nor UNCITRAL administer dispute resolution processes. However, either UNCITRAL or the
American Arbitration Association (AAA) can provide an international list of agencies that do provide these
administrative services.

Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to
comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a
document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language be
struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that would
completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the completed
and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the software
permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors and
cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not permitted
under the users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and violate the
AIAs copyright.

COMPLETING AIA DOCUMENT B1622002

Cover Page
Date: The date represents the date the Agreement becomes effective. It may be the date that an oral agreement was
reached, the date the Agreement was originally submitted to the other party, the date authorizing action was taken or the
date of actual execution of the document. Professional services should not be performed prior to the effective date of the
Agreement.

Identification of Parties: Parties to this Agreement should be identified using the full legal names under which the
Agreement will be executed.

Project Description: The proposed Project should be described in sufficient detail to identify (1) the official name or
title of the facility; (2) the location of the site, if known; (3) the proposed building type and usage; and (4) the size,
capacity or scope of the Project, if known.

Article 1 Responsibilities of the Parties
The Clients and Consultants responsibilities have been combined into this one article. A provision has been included
concerning the parties relationship with each other and with others involved with the Project.

Article 2 Description of Services
This Article describes services included in the Agreement and should contain provisions defining and describing design
services that are included in the Agreement.

Article 4 Payment
Payment is one of the most difficult issues in international work. It is recommended that a retainer equivalent to the
Consultants projected fees for the first three to four months of the contract be established to cover the Consultant until
the first payment has been received and to provide protection for payment of the final invoice. Further, a mechanism
should be established for the transfer of funds. Currency fluctuation and exchange issues can be avoided by requesting
that payments be made in United States dollars.

4.2 The Consultant should obtain advice regarding the effect of foreign taxes and other monetary exchange and
interest issues on the Consultants fees; the importation of the Consultants Instruments of Service into a foreign
country; and the effect of overseas income on the Consultants local tax liability.

Article 5 Instruments of Service
The Berne Convention Treaty in most, but not all, countries governs international copyright law.

Article 8 Miscellaneous Provisions
Insert provisions, if any, on Additional Services, special compensation arrangements, the employment of other
consultants, or choice of dispute resolution method or insurance.

EXECUTING AIA DOCUMENT B1622002

The persons executing B1622002 should indicate the capacity in which they are acting (i.e., president, secretary,
partner, etc.) and the authority under which they are executing the Agreement. Where appropriate, a copy of the
resolution authorizing the individual to act on behalf of the firm or entity should be attached.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Purpose. AIA Document B1811994 is a standard form of agreement intended for construction projects where the
owner assumes responsibility for providing cost-estimating services. Primarily designed for use on publicly-funded,
single- and multi-family housing projects, B1811994 contains terms and conditions that are unique to these types of
projects and the working relationships that enable their completion.

Related Documents. B1811994 is intended to be used in conjunction with AIA Document A2011997, General
Conditions of the Contract for Construction, which it incorporates by reference. It can also be used with Architect-
Consultant agreements such as C1411997, C1421997 or C7271992.

Dispute ResolutionMediation and Arbitration. This document contains provisions for mediation and arbitration of
claims and disputes. Mediation is a non-binding process, but is mandatory under the terms of this agreement. Arbitration
is mandatory under the terms of this agreement and binding in most states 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 after the dispute arises. Even in those states, under certain circumstances (for example, in a transaction
involving interstate commerce), arbitration provisions may be enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act.

The AIA does 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 Arbitration Association or call (800) 778-
7879. The American Arbitration Association may also be contacted at http://www.adr.org.

Use of Non-AIA Forms. If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care
must be taken to achieve consistency of language and intent. Certain owners require the use of Owner-Architect
agreements and other contract forms that they prepare. Such forms should be carefully compared to the standard AIA
forms for which they are being substituted before execution of an agreement. If there are any significant omissions,
additions or variances from the terms of the related standard AIA forms, both legal and insurance counsel should be
consulted. Of particular concern is the need for consistency between the Owner-Architect Agreement and the anticipated
General Conditions of the Contract for Construction in the delineation of the Architects Construction Phase services
and responsibilities.

Letter Forms of Agreement. Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of
a part or the whole of professional services based on oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement
forms have been developed through more than eighty years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts.
In addition, the standard forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Use of Current Documents. Prior to using any AIA Contract Document, users should consult www.aia.org or a local
AIA component to verify the most recent edition.

Reproductions. This document is a copyrighted work and may not be reproduced or excerpted from without the express
written permission of the AIA. There is no implied permission to reproduce this document, nor does membership in The
American Institute of Architects confer any further rights to reproduce this document.

The AIA hereby grants the purchaser a limited license to reproduce a maximum of ten copies of a completed B181
1994, but only for use in connection with a particular project. The AIA will not permit reproduction outside of the
limited license for reproduction granted above, except upon written request and receipt of written permission from the
AIA.

Rights to reproduce the document may vary for users of AIA software. Licensed AIA software users should consult the

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION

Format Changes
Former Article 1, Architects Services and Responsibilities, has been subdivided into three new articles. All provisions
relating to payments to the Architect have been consolidated and moved to the end of the document.

Changes in Content
Because the last edition of AIA Document B181 was published in 1978, extensive content revisions have been
implemented to parallel those appearing in the 1987 editions of AIA Documents B1411997 and A2011997.
Substantive changes from the previous edition are described below.

Article 1: Architects Services
The four phases of Basic Services now appear in Article 2, and descriptions of Additional Services appear in Article 3.
The provisions relating to Time have been expanded to include submission (upon the Owners request) of a schedule for
the performance of architectural services.

Article 2: Scope of Architects Basic Services
Design Phase criteria have expanded to include review of the Owners program and determination of corresponding
project requirements. Preliminary evaluation of the Owners program, schedule and construction budgettogether with
limited responsibility for correlation of thesehas been added as a Basic Service.

In comparison to the 1978 edition, B1811994 further qualifies the Architects Certifications for Payment as not indicating
that the Architect has undertaken a review of construction means or methods, or of the Subcontractors requisitions.

Article 4: The Owners Responsibilities
A provision has been added in this edition concerning the Owners responsibilities for Project budget, cost contingencies
and financial disclosure. The Owners designation of a Project Representative is also new in this edition, as are
provisions relating to testing for specific environmental hazards. The Owners responsibility for furnishing the services
of other consultants (beyond legal, accounting and insurance) is now clearly established, as is the requirement that
proposed certification language be submitted to the architect for review and approval (with a 14-day allowance for said
review).

Article 5: Construction Cost
For the first time in B1811994, criteria relating to fixed limits on Construction Cost, Project budget, contingencies and
the Architects modification of the Contract Documents (as a means of addressing the above) are covered in some detail.
Provisions for Payments to the Architect have been moved to Article 10.

Article 7: Resolution of Claims, Disputes or Other Matters
Dispute Resolution procedures have been expanded to include Mediation.

Article 8: Suspension, Termination and Abandonment
Formerly titled Termination of Agreement, this article now includes additional procedures and criteria for determining
and addressing suspension and abandonment of the Project. Termination provisions have been clarified through
inclusion of more specific methodologies.

Article 9: Miscellaneous Provisions
Though formerly governed by the law of the principal place of the Architects business, the B1811994 agreement is
now governed by the law of the principal place of the Project. The 1994 edition also provides for the inclusion of Project
descriptions and representations in the Architects promotional and professional materials. Another provision stipulates
that the Architect is not responsible for discovery, removal or disposal of toxic or hazardous substances encountered at
the site.

Article 10: Payments to the Architect
Prerequisites and procedures for withholding payment have been expanded and clarified, while those centering on
compensation in the event of suspension or abandonment have been moved to Article 8.

Articles 11 and 12: Basis of Compensation, Other Conditions or Services
The terms and conditions contained in these articles have been revised in conformance with the 1987 editions of B141
and A201.

COMPLETING THE B1812004

Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to comply
with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language be
struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that would
completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the completed
and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the software
permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors and
cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not permitted
under the user's limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and violate the
AIAs copyright.

Cover Page

2.5.3 Duties, responsibilities and limitations of authority of the Architect shall not be restricted, modified or extended
without written agreement of the Owner and the Architect, with the consent of the Contractor; which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld.

2.5.4 The Architect shall be a representative of and shall advise and consult with the Owner (1) during construction
until final payment to the Contractor is due; and (2) as an Additional Service at the Owner's direction from time to
time during the correction period described in the Contract for Construction. The Architect shall have authority to act
on behalf of the Owner only to the extent provided in this Agreement unless otherwise modified by written instrument.
Instructions to the Contractor shall be forwarded through the Architect.

2.5.5 The Architect shall visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of construction (or as otherwise agreed by
the Architect in writing) to become generally familiar with the progress and quality of the Work and to determine in
general if the Work when completed will be in accordance with the Contract Documents. However, the Architect shall
not be required to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work. On
the basis of on-site observations as an architect, the Architect shall keep the Owner informed of the progress and
quality of the Work, and shall endeavor to guard the Owner against defects and deficiencies in the Work. (More
extensive site representation may be agreed to as an Additional Service, as described in Section 3.2.)

2.5.6 The Architect shall not have control over, charge of, or responsibility for construction means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures, or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work, since these
are solely the Contractor's responsibility under the Contract for Construction. The Architect shall not be responsible
for the Contractor's schedules or failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. The
Architect shall not have control over or charge of acts or omissions of the Contractor, Subcontractors, or their agents or
employees, or any other persons performing any of the Work.

2.5.7 The Architect shall at all times have access to the Work, wherever it is in preparation or progress.

2.5.8 Based on the Architect's observations and evaluations of the Contractor's Applications for Payment, the

2.5.9 The Architect's certification for payment shall constitute a representation to the Owner that the Work has
progressed to the point indicated, and that to the best of the Architect's knowledge, information and belief, the quality
of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. Such certification shall be based on the Architect's
observations at the site as provided in Section 2.5.5 and on the data comprising the Contractor's Application for
Payment. The foregoing representations are subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance to the Contract
Documents upon Substantial Completion, to results of subsequent tests and inspections, to minor deviations from the
Contract Documents correctable prior to completion and to any specific qualifications expressed by the Architect. The
issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall further constitute a representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment
in the amount certified. However, the issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a representation that the
Architect has (1) made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work; (2)
reviewed construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures; (3) reviewed copies of requisitions
received from Subcontractors and material suppliers and other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the
Contractor's right to payment; or (4) ascertained how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money paid on
account of the Contract Sum.

the Architect considers it necessary or advisable for implementation of the intent of the Contract Documents, the
Architect will have authority to require additional inspection or testing of the Work in accordance with the provisions of
the Contract Documents, whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither this
authority of the Architect nor a decision made in good faith either to exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give
rise to a duty or responsibility of the Architect to the Contractor, Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their
agents or employees, or other persons performing portions of the Work.

2.5.11 The Architect shall review and approve or take other appropriate action upon the Contractor's submittals such as
Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with
information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The Architect's actions shall be taken
with reasonable promptness so as to cause no delay in the Work or in the construction of the Owner or of separate
contractors, while allowing sufficient time (in the Architect's professional judgment) to permit adequate review. The
Architect's approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which that item is a component.

completion, and shall issue a final Certificate for Payment.

requirements of the Contract Documents on written request of either the Owner or Contractor. The Architect's
response to such requests shall be made with reasonable promptness and within any time limits agreed upon.

the Contract Documents and shall be in writing or in the form of drawings. When making such interpretations and
initial decisions, the Architect shall endeavor to secure faithful performance by both Owner and Contractor, shall not
show partiality to either, and shall not be liable for results of interpretations or decisions rendered in good faith in such
capacity.

ARTICLE 3 ADDITIONAL SERVICES

2.5.5 shall be provided, such additional project representation shall be provided and paid for as set forth in Article 12.

ARTICLE 4 THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITIES
4.1 The Owner shall provide full information, including a program setting forth the Owner's design objectives,

Architect, the Owner shall furnish evidence that financial arrangements have been made to fulfill the Owner's
obligations under this Agreement.

4.2 The Owner shall designate a representative authorized to act on the Owner's behalf with respect to the Project. The
Owner or such authorized representative shall render decisions pertaining to documents submitted by the Architect in a
timely manner, so as to avoid unreasonable delay in the orderly and sequential progress of the Architect's services.

ARTICLE 5 CONSTRUCTION COST
5.1 DEFINITION
5.1.1 The Construction Cost shall be the total cost or estimated cost to the Owner of all elements of the Project
designed or specified by the Architect.

5.1.2 The Construction Cost shall include the cost at current market rates of labor and materials furnished by the
Owner and any equipment which has been designed, specified, selected or specially provided for by the Architect, plus
a reasonable allowance for the Contractor's overhead and profit. In addition, a reasonable allowance for contingencies
shall be included for market conditions at the time of bidding and for changes in the Work during construction.

5.1.3 Construction Cost does not include the compensation of the Architect and the Architect's consultants, the cost of
the land, rights-of-way, financing or other costs that are the responsibility of the Owner as provided in Article 4.

5.2 RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONSTRUCTION COST
5.2.1 It is recognized that neither the Architect nor the Owner has control over the cost of labor, materials or
equipment, over the Contractor's methods of determining bid prices, or over competitive bidding, market or negotiating
conditions. Accordingly, the Architect can not and does not warrant or represent that bids or negotiated prices will not
vary from the Owner's Project budget or from any preliminary estimate of Construction Cost or other cost estimate or
evaluation. Any Project budget shall be adjusted to reflect changes in the general level of prices in the construction
industry between the date of submission of the Construction Documents to the Owner and the date on which bids or
negotiated proposals are sought.

5.2.2 No fixed limit of Construction Cost shall be established as a condition of this Agreement by the furnishing,
proposal or establishment of a Project budget, unless such fixed limit has been agreed upon in writing and signed by the
parties hereto. If such a fixed limit has been established, the Architect shall be permitted to include contingencies for
design, bidding and price escalation; to determine what materials, equipment, component systems and types of
construction are to be included in the Contract Documents; to make reasonable adjustments in the scope of the Project;
and to include in the Contract Documents alternate bids to adjust the Construction Cost to the fixed limit. Fixed limits,
if any, shall be increased in the amount of an increase in the Contract Sum occurring after execution of the Contract for
Construction.

5.2.3 If the Project budget or fixed limit of Construction Cost is exceeded by the lowest bona fide bid or negotiated
proposal, the Owner shall:
.1 give written approval of an increase in the Project budget or the fixed limit;
.2 authorize rebidding or renegotiating the Project within a reasonable time;
.3 if the Project is abandoned, terminate in accordance with Section 8.2; or
.4 cooperate in revising the Project scope and quality as required to reduce the Construction Cost.

5.2.4 If the Owner chooses to proceed under Section 5.2.3.4, the Architect shall endeavor to comply with the Project
budget or the fixed limit of Construction Cost by making modifications to the Contract Documents. The making of
such modifications shall be the limit of the Architect's responsibility arising out of the establishment of a Project budget
or a fixed limit of Construction Cost. If a fixed limit has been established as a Condition of this Agreement, the
Architect shall not obtain an increase in compensation for making such modifications unless the fixed limit has been
exceeded due to inaccurate cost estimating by the Owner's consultant. If no fixed limit has been established, the
Architect shall receive an increase in compensation for making such modifications. The Architect shall be entitled to
compensation in accordance with this Agreement for all services performed, whether or not the Construction Phase is
commenced.

CENERAL |NF0RHAT|0N

Purpose. AIA Document B1881996 is intended for use in situations where the Architect will provide limited architectural
services in connection with a housing project. This document anticipates that the Owner will have extensive control over the
management of the project, acting in a capacity similar to that of a developer or speculative builder of a housing project. As
a result, the Owner or separate consultants retained by the Owner likely will provide the engineering services, specify the
brand names of materials and equipment, and administer payments to the contractors, among other project responsibilities.
If the Owner wishes the Architect to assume more extensive project responsibilities, the Owner and Architect should, after
consulting with legal and insurance counsels, modify this document appropriately for their particular circumstances or
should consider using other AIA Owner-Architect agreements.

Related Documents. This document does not coordinate with or relate to any published AIA standard form
construction contract or general conditions of the contract for construction, and may be used by itself.

Dispute ResolutionMediation and Arbitration. This document contains provisions for mediation and arbitration of
claims and disputes. Mediation is a non-binding process, but is mandatory under the terms of this agreement. Arbitration
may be mandatory under the terms of this agreement. Arbitration is binding in most states 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 after the dispute arises. Even in those states, under certain circumstances (for example, in a transaction involving
interstate commerce), arbitration provisions may be enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act.

The AIA does 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 Arbitration Association or call (800) 778-7879.
The American Arbitration Association may also be contacted at http://www.adr.org.

Use of Non-AIA Forms. If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must
be taken to achieve consistency of language and intent among documents.

Letter Forms of Agreement. Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of
a part or the whole of professional services based on an oral agreement or understanding. The standard AIA agreement
forms have been developed through more than 80 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts.

Use of Current Documents. Prior to using any AIA Contract Document, users should consult www.aia.org or a local
AIA component to verify the most recent edition.

Reproductions. This document is a copyrighted work and may not be reproduced or excerpted from without the express
written permission of the AIA. There is no implied permission to reproduce this document, nor does membership in The
American Institute of Architects confer any further rights to reproduce this document.

The AIA hereby grants the purchaser a limited license to reproduce a maximum of ten copies of a completed B1881996,
but only for use in connection with a particular project. The AIA will not permit reproduction outside of the limited license
for reproduction granted above, except upon written request and receipt of written permission from the AIA.

Rights to reproduce the document may vary for users of AIA software. Licensed AIA software users should consult the
End User License Agreement (EULA).

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language be
struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that would
completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the completed and
signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the software
permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors and cloud
legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not permitted under the
user's limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and violate the AIA's copyright.

instruments of the Architect's service for use solely with respect to this Project and, unless otherwise provided, the
Architect shall be deemed the author of these documents and shall retain all common law, statutory and other reserved
rights, including the copyright. The Owner shall be permitted to retain copies, including reproducible copies, of the
Architect's instruments of service for information and reference in connection with the Owner's use and occupancy of
the Project.

8.1 This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon not less than seven (7) days' written notice should the
other party fail substantially to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement through no fault of the party
initiating the termination.

8.2 If the Project is suspended by the Owner for more than 30 consecutive days, the Architect shall be compensated for
services performed prior to notice of such suspension. When the Project is resumed, the Architect's compensation shall
be equitably adjusted to provide for expenses incurred in the interruption and resumption of the Architect's services. The
equitable adjustment to the Architect's compensation shall include but not be limited to all reasonable costs incurred by
the Architect on account of suspension or abandonment of the Project, for preparation of documents for storage,
maintaining space and equipment pending resumption, orderly demobilization of staff, maintaining employees on a less-
than-full-time basis, terminating employment of personnel because of suspension, rehiring former employees or new
employees because of resumption, reacquainting employees with the Project upon resumption and making revisions to
comply with Project requirements at the time of resumption.

8.3 This Agreement may be terminated by the Owner upon not less than seven (7) days' written notice to the Architect
in the event that the Project is permanently abandoned. If the Project is abandoned by the Owner for more than 90
consecutive days, the Architect may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice.

8.4 Failure of the Owner to make payments to the Architect in accordance with this Agreement shall be considered
substantial nonperformance and cause for termination.

8.5 If the Owner fails to make payment when due the Architect for services and expenses, the Architect may, upon
seven (7) days' written notice to the Owner, suspend performance of services under this Agreement. Unless payment in
full is received by the Architect within seven (7) days of the date of the notice, the suspension shall take effect without
further notice. In the event of a suspension of services, the Architect shall have no liability to the Owner for delay or
damage caused the Owner because of such suspension of services.

8. In the event of termination not the fault of the Architect, the Architect shall be compensated for services performed
prior to termination, together with Reimbursable Expenses then due and all Termination Expenses as defined in Section
8.7.

8.7 Termination Expenses are in addition to compensation for Basic and Additional Services, and include expenses
which are directly attributable to termination. Termination Expenses shall be computed as an equitable percentage of
the total compensation for Basic Services and Additional Services earned to the time of termination, unless otherwise
provided in Article 12.

Standard Form of Architects Services: Design and Construction Contract

GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose. AIA Document B2012007 provides the Architects scope of services for Design and Construction Contract
Administration in a standard form the Owner and Architect can modify to suit the needs of the Project. B2012007
replaces AIA Document B1411997 Part 2.

The services set forth in B2012007 parallel those in AIA Document B1012007, Agreement Between Owner and
Architect, and thus return to the traditional division of services into Basic and Additional Services. Basic Services are
based on five traditional phases: Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents, Bidding or
Negotiation, and Construction. This document may be used with a variety of compensation methods, including
percentage of construction cost and stipulated sum. B2012007 assumes that the Architect will provide cost estimates
and will design the Project to meet the owners budget for the Cost of the Work. If the Owner will retain a third party
to provide cost estimates, or if the Project will implement fast track, phased or accelerated scheduling, the parties
should consider using B1032007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Large or
Complex Project.

B2012007 is not a stand-alone document and to become effective it must be incorporated into an owner-architect
agreement. It may be used with AIA Document B1022007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and
Architect without a Predefined Scope of Architects Services, to provide the Architects sole scope of services, or with
B1022007 in conjunction with other standard form services documents. It may also be incorporated into any owner-
architect agreement when the agreement is executed or used with G8022007, Amendment to the Professional
Services Agreement, to create a modification to any owner-architect agreement.

Related Documents. B2012007 is intended to be used in conjunction with AIA Document A2012007, General
Conditions of the Contract for Construction, which it incorporates by reference. B2012007 also can be used with
Architect-Consultant agreements such as AIA Document C4012007. Before transmitting Instruments of Service or
other information in digital form, parties should establish protocols for that transmission and may use E2012007,
Digital Data Protocol Exhibit, for that purpose.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents. AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed
at balancing the interests of all parties on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not
theory. They are state-of-the-art legal documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industry
yet they are written, as far as possible, in everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are
intended to be modified to fit individual projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from
the original, printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms. If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care
must be taken to achieve consistency of language and intent among documents. Certain owners require the use of
owner-architect agreements and other contract forms which they prepare. Such forms should be carefully compared to
the standard AIA forms for which they are being substituted before execution of an agreement. If there are any
significant omissions, additions or variances from the terms of the related standard AIA forms, both legal and
insurance counsel should be consulted. Of particular concern is the need for consistency between the Owner-Architect
Agreement and related documents and the anticipated General Conditions of the Contract for Construction in the
delineation of the Architects construction contract administration services and responsibilities.

Letter Forms of Agreement. Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance
of a part or the whole of professional services based on oral agreements or understandings. The AIAs agreement
forms have been developed through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts.
In addition, the standard forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms. Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words Standard
Form. The term standard is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA
members or others in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair
and balanced baselines from which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general
acceptance within the construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry
spanning 50 stateseach of them free to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industrythey
form the basis for a generally consistent body of construction law.

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
AIA Document B2012007 contains many significant changes in format and content from B1411997 Part 2. B101
more closely follows the B1511997 format. Accordingly, B2012007 arranges the Architects services in terms of
Basic Services and Additional Services. Basic Services are described within the five traditional phases of a
Project: Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents, Bidding or Negotiating, and Construction.
Additional Services consist of any services not described as Basic Services.

There are many other changes to foster clarity in the Owner-Architect agreement as well. Described below are
highlights of the major changes from B1411997 Part 2.

A new Article 1, Initial Information, is added, having been relocated from B1411997 Part 1. Project administration
services, formerly covered under Article 2.1, are now incorporated into Article 2. Supporting Services, formerly in
Article 2.2, are re-titled Owners Responsibilities and are now located in Article 4. The Architects services, formerly
in Articles 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7, are now set forth in Articles 2 and 3.

The most significant revision is the inclusion of a new Article 6, Compensation. The prior edition did not include a
location for including the compensation to be paid for the services.

Environmentally Responsible Design: During Schematic Design, Section 3.2.5.1 requires the Architect to consider
environmentally responsible design alternatives, such as material choices and building orientation, in developing a
design for the Project. The Architect is required to make such considerations consist with the Owners program,
schedule and budget for the Cost of the Work.

USING B2012007
Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to
comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a
document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language
be struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that
would completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the
completed and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the
software permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors
and cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not
permitted under the users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and
violate the AIAs copyright.

Hourly Billing Rates, in which salaries, benefits, overhead and profit are included in the rate for designated
personnel.

Other methods, while they may be indirectly related to time expended on the Project, do not use time as a factor in the
calculation:

Stipulated Sum, in which compensation is listed as a dollar amount.

Percentage of Cost of the Work, in which compensation is calculated by applying an assumed percentage to the
estimated or actual Cost of the Work, whichever is most certain at the time the calculation is made.

Multiple of Consultants Billing, in which Consultants bills are multiplied by a factor representing the
Architects administrative costs, overhead and profit.

Square Footage, in which the square footage of the structure is multiplied by a pricing factor.

Unit Cost, in which the number of certain units such as rooms, acres, etc., is multiplied by a pricing factor.

Royalty, in which compensation is a share in the Owners income or profit derived from the built facility.

The AIA makes no recommendation as to the appropriateness of any of these methods of compensation on a particular
project, nor does the AIA suggest that the foregoing list includes all methods that are possible, practical or in actual
use. The use of any of the compensation methods described above, singly or in combination with other methods, is a
business decision for the Architect and the Owner. Further, the AIA makes no recommendations and has no guidelines
or schedules that specify the amount of compensation an architect should be paid.

Agreement unless the Owner and the Architect amend this Agreement.

2.6.1.2 The Architect shall advise and consult with the Owner during the Construction Phase Services. The Architect
shall have authority to act on behalf of the Owner only to the extent provided in this Agreement. The Architect shall
not have control over, charge of, or responsibility for the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures, or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work, nor shall the Architect be responsible
for the Contractors failure to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. The
Architect shall be responsible for the Architects negligent acts or omissions, but shall not have control over or charge
of, and shall not be responsible for, acts or omissions of the Contractor or of any other persons or entities performing
portions of the Work.

2.6.2 EVALUATIONS OF THE WORK
2.6.2.1 The Architect shall visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of construction, or as otherwise required
in Section 3.3.3, to become generally familiar with the progress and quality of the portion of the Work completed, and
to determine, in general, if the Work observed is being performed in a manner indicating that the Work, when fully
completed, will be in accordance with the Contract Documents. However, the Architect shall not be required to make
exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work. On the basis of the site visits
the Architect shall keep the Owner reasonably informed about the progress and quality of the portion of the Work
completed, and report to the Owner (1) known deviations from the Contract Documents and from the most recent
construction schedule submitted by the Contractor, and (2) defects and deficiencies observed in the Work.

2.6.2.2 The Architect has the authority to reject Work that does not conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever
the Architect considers it necessary or advisable, the Architect shall have the authority to require inspection or testing
of the Work in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents, whether or not such Work is fabricated,
installed or completed. However, neither this authority of the Architect nor a decision made in good faith either to
exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the Architect to the Contractor,
Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their agents or employees or other persons or entities performing
portions of the Work.

2.6.2.3 The Architect shall interpret and decide matters concerning performance under, and requirements of, the
Contract Documents on written request of either the Owner or Contractor. The Architects response to such requests
shall be made in writing within any time limits agreed upon or otherwise with reasonable promptness.

2.6.2.4 Interpretations and decisions of the Architect shall be consistent with the intent of and reasonably inferable
from the Contract Documents and shall be in writing or in the form of drawings. When making such interpretations
and decisions, the Architect shall endeavor to secure faithful performance by both Owner and Contractor, shall not
show partiality to either, and shall not be liable for results of interpretations or decisions rendered in good faith. The
Architects decisions on matters relating to aesthetic effect shall be final if consistent with the intent expressed in the
Contract Documents.

2.6.2.5 Unless the Owner and Contractor designate another person to serve as an Initial Decision Maker, as that term
is defined in AIA Document A2012007, the Architect shall render initial decisions on Claims between the Owner
and Contractor as provided in the Contract Documents.

2.6.3 CERTIFICATES FOR PAYMENT TO CONTRACTOR
2.6.3.1 The Architect shall review and certify the amounts due the Contractor and shall issue certificates in such
amounts. The Architects certification for payment shall constitute a representation to the Owner, based on the
Architects evaluation of the Work as provided in Section 2.6.2 and on the data comprising the Contractors
Application for Payment, that, to the best of the Architects knowledge, information and belief, the Work has
progressed to the point indicated and that the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The
foregoing representations are subject (1) to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents
upon Substantial Completion, (2) to results of subsequent tests and inspections, (3) to correction of minor deviations
from the Contract Documents prior to completion, and (4) to specific qualifications expressed by the Architect.

obligate the Contractor to provide the Architect access to the Work wherever it is in preparation or progress.

ARTICLE 5 COST OF THE WORK
5.1 For purposes of this Agreement, the Cost of the Work shall be the total cost to the Owner to construct all
elements of the Project designed or specified by the Architect and shall include contractors general conditions costs,
overhead and profit. The Cost of the Work does not include the compensation of the Architect, the costs of the land,
rights-of-way, financing, contingencies for changes in the Work or other costs that are the responsibility of the Owner.

5.2 The Owners budget for the Cost of the Work is provided in Initial Information, and may be adjusted throughout
the Project as required under Sections 4.1, 5.4 and 5.5. Evaluations of the Owners budget for the Cost of the Work,
the preliminary estimate of the Cost of the Work and updated estimates of the Cost of the Work prepared by the
Architect, represent the Architects judgment as a design professional. It is recognized, however, that neither the
Architect nor the Owner has control over the cost of labor, materials or equipment; the Contractors methods of
determining bid prices; or competitive bidding, market or negotiating conditions. Accordingly, the Architect cannot
and does not warrant or represent that bids or negotiated prices will not vary from the Owners budget for the Cost of
the Work or from any estimate of the Cost of the Work or evaluation prepared or agreed to by the Architect.

5.3 In preparing estimates of the Cost of Work, the Architect shall be permitted to include contingencies for design,
bidding and price escalation; to determine what materials, equipment, component systems and types of construction
are to be included in the Contract Documents; to make reasonable adjustments in the program and scope of the
Project; and to include in the Contract Documents alternate bids as may be necessary to adjust the estimated Cost of
the Work to meet the Owners budget for the Cost of the Work. The Architects estimate of the Cost of the Work shall
be based on current area, volume or similar conceptual estimating techniques. If the Owner requests detailed cost
estimating services, the Architect shall provide such services as an Additional Service under Article 3.

5.4 If the Bidding or Negotiation Phase has not commenced within 90 days after the Architect submits the
Construction Documents to the Owner, through no fault of the Architect, the Owners budget for the Cost of the Work
shall be adjusted to reflect changes in the general level of prices in the applicable construction market.

5.5 If at any time the Architects estimate of the Cost of the Work exceeds the Owners budget for the Cost of the
Work, the Architect shall make appropriate recommendations to the Owner to adjust the Projects size, quality or
budget for the Cost of the Work, and the Owner shall cooperate with the Architect in making such adjustments.

5.6 If the Owners budget for the Cost of the Work at the conclusion of the Construction Documents Phase Services
is exceeded by the lowest bona fide bid or negotiated proposal, the Owner shall
.1 give written approval of an increase in the budget for the Cost of the Work;
.2 authorize rebidding or renegotiating of the Project within a reasonable time;
.3 terminate in accordance with Section 5.5 of AIA Document B1022007;
.4 in consultation with the Architect, revise the Project program, scope, or quality as required to reduce
the Cost of the Work; or
.5 implement any other mutually acceptable alternative.

5.7 If the Owner chooses to proceed under Section 5.6.4, the Architect, without additional compensation, shall
modify the Construction Documents as necessary to comply with the Owners budget for the Cost of the Work at the
conclusion of the Construction Documents Phase Services, or the budget as adjusted under Section 6.6.1. The
Architects modification of the Construction Documents shall be the limit of the Architects responsibility under this
Article 5.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose
AIA Document B2032007 provides the Architects scope of services for Site Evaluation and Planning in a standard
form that the Owner and Architect can modify to suit the needs of the Project. It is not a fixed scope of services, but is
instead a menu of services from which the parties may select. B2032007 is not a stand-alone document and to
become effective it must be incorporated into an owner-architect agreement. It may be used with AIA Document
B102

2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, to provide the Architects sole scope of
services, or with B1022007 in conjunction with other standard form services documents. It may also be incorporated
into any owner-architect agreement when the agreement is executed or used with G802

2007, Amendment to the


Professional Services Agreement, to create a modification to any owner-architect agreement.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents
AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties
on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal
documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet they are written, as far as possible,
in everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended to be modified to fit individual
projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original, printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent among documents.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of the
Work on the basis of oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement forms have been developed
through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition, the standard
forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms
Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words Standard Form. The term
standard is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members or
others in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair and balanced
baselines from which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general acceptance
within the construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry spanning 50
stateseach free to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industryAIA documents form the
basis for a generally consistent body of construction law.

Use of Current Documents
Prior to using any AIA Contract Document, users should consult www.aia.org or a local AIA component to verify the
most recent edition.

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
This standard form of architects services document was revised in 2007 so that it would follow the format and
terminology used in the 2007 editions of the following standard form owner-architect agreements: AIA Documents
B1012007, B1032007, and B1042007.

A new Article 1, Initial Information, is added. Project administration services, formerly covered under Article 1, are
now incorporated into Article 2. Supporting Services, formerly in Article 2, are re-titled Owners Responsibilities and
are now located in Article 4. The architects services, formerly in Articles 3 and 4, are now set forth in Articles 2
and 3. The services themselves are not changed from the previous edition.

The most significant revision is the inclusion of a new Article 5, Compensation. The prior edition did not include a
location for including the compensation to be paid for the services. The last article, Article 6, Special Terms and
Conditions, replaces the former Article 5, Modifications.

USING B2032007
Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to
comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a
document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language
be struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that
would completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the
completed and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the
software permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors
and cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not
permitted under the users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and
violate the AIAs copyright.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose
AIA Document B2042007 provides the Architects scope of services for Value Analysis in a standard form that the
Owner and Architect can modify to suit the needs of the Project. B2042007 is not a stand-alone document and to
become effective it must be incorporated into an owner-architect agreement. It may be used with AIA Document
B102

2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, to provide the Architects sole scope of
services, or with B1022007 in conjunction with other standard form services documents. It may also be incorporated
into any owner-architect agreement when the agreement is executed or used with G802

2007, Amendment to the


Professional Services Agreement, to create a modification to any owner-architect agreement.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents
AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties
on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal
documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet they are written, as far as possible,
in everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended to be modified to fit individual
projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original, printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent among documents.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of the
Work on the basis of oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement forms have been developed
through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition, the standard
forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms
Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words Standard Form. The term
standard is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members or
others in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair and balanced
baselines from which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general acceptance
within the construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry spanning 50
stateseach free to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industryAIA documents form the
basis for a generally consistent body of construction law.

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
This standard form of architects services document was revised in 2007 so that it would follow the format and
terminology used in the 2007 editions of the following standard form owner-architect agreements: AIA Documents
B1012007, B1032007, and B1042007.

A new Article 1, Initial Information, is added. Project administration services, formerly covered under Article 1, are
now incorporated into Article 2. Supporting Services, formerly in Article 2, are re-titled Owners Responsibilities and
are now located in Article 4. The architects services, formerly in Articles 3 and 4, are now set forth in Articles 2
and 3. The services themselves are not changed from the previous edition.

The most significant revision is the inclusion of a new Article 5, Compensation. The prior edition did not include a
location for including the compensation to be paid for the services. The last article, Article 6, Special Terms and
Conditions, replaces the former Article 5, Modifications.

USING B2042007
Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to
comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language

GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose
AIA Document B2052007 provides the Architects scope of services for Historic Preservation in a standard form that
the Owner and Architect can modify to suit the needs of the Project. It is not a fixed scope of services, but is instead a
menu of services from which the parties may select. B2052007 is not a stand-alone document and to become
effective it must be incorporated into an owner-architect agreement. It may be used with AIA Document B102

2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, to provide the Architects sole scope of services,
or with B1022007 in conjunction with other standard form services documents. It may also be incorporated into any
owner-architect agreement when the agreement is executed or used with G802

2007, Amendment to the


Professional Services Agreement, to create a modification to any owner-architect agreement.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents
AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties
on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal
documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet they are written, as far as possible,
in everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended to be modified to fit individual
projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original, printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent among documents.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of the
Work on the basis of oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement forms have been developed
through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition, the standard
forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms
Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words Standard Form. The term
standard is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members or
others in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair and balanced
baselines from which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general acceptance
within the construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry spanning 50
stateseach free to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industryAIA documents form the
basis for a generally consistent body of construction law.

Use of Current Documents
Prior to using any AIA Contract Document, users should consult www.aia.org or a local AIA component to verify the
most recent edition.

Reproductions

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
This standard form of architects services document was revised in 2007 so that it would follow the format and
terminology used in the 2007 editions of the following standard form owner-architect agreements: AIA Documents
B1012007, B1032007, and B1042007.

A new Article 1, Initial Information, is added. Project administration services, formerly covered under Article 1, are
now incorporated into Article 2. Supporting Services, formerly in Article 2, are re-titled Owners Responsibilities and
are now located in Article 4. The architects services, formerly in Articles 3 and 4, are now set forth in Articles 2
and 3. The services themselves are not changed from the previous edition.

The most significant revision is the inclusion of a new Article 5, Compensation. The prior edition did not include a
location for including the compensation to be paid for the services. The last article, Article 6, Special Terms and
Conditions, replaces the former Article 5, Modifications.

USING B2052007
Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to
comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a
document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language
be struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that
would completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the
completed and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the
software permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors
and cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not
permitted under the users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and
violate the AIAs copyright.

Cover Page
Project: Describe the Project by including (1) the official name or title of the facility, and (2) the location or address,
if known.

Identification of the Parties: State the names and addresses of the parties exactly as they are identified in the Owner-
Architect agreement into which this scope of services document is incorporated, or to which it provides the scope of
services for an amendment.

Date: Provide the date of the existing Owner-Architect Agreement. Providing that date will assist in identifying this
scope of services document with the existing owner-architect agreement being modified.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose
AIA Document B2062007 provides the Architects scope of services for Security Evaluation and Planning in a
standard form that the Owner and Architect can modify to suit the needs of the Project. B2062007 is not a stand-
alone document and to become effective it must be incorporated into an owner-architect agreement. It may be used
with AIA Document B102

2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, to provide the
Architects sole scope of services, or with B1022007 in conjunction with other standard form services documents. It
may also be incorporated into any owner-architect agreement when the agreement is executed or used with G802

2007, Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement, to create a modification to any owner-architect agreement.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents
AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties
on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal
documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet they are written, as far as possible,
in everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended to be modified to fit individual
projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original, printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent among documents.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of the
Work on the basis of oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement forms have been developed
through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition, the standard
forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms
Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words Standard Form. The term
standard is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members or
others in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair and balanced
baselines from which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general acceptance
within the construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry spanning 50
stateseach free to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industryAIA documents form the
basis for a generally consistent body of construction law.

Use of Current Documents
Prior to using any AIA Contract Document, users should consult www.aia.org or a local AIA component to verify the
most recent edition.

Reproductions
This document is a copyrighted work and may not be reproduced or excerpted from without the express written
permission of the AIA. There is no implied permission to reproduce this document, nor does membership in The

The AIA hereby grants the purchaser a limited license to reproduce a maximum of ten copies of a completed B206
2007, but only for use in connection with a particular project. The AIA will not permit reproduction outside of the

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
This standard form of architects services document was revised in 2007 so that it would follow the format and
terminology used in the 2007 editions of the following standard form owner-architect agreements: AIA Documents
B1012007, B1032007, and B1042007.

A new Article 1, Initial Information, is added. Project administration services, formerly covered under Article 1, are
now incorporated into Article 2. Supporting Services, formerly in Article 2, are re-titled Owners Responsibilities and
are now located in Article 4. The architects services, formerly in Articles 3 and 4, are now set forth in Articles 2
and 3. The services themselves are not changed from the previous edition.

The most significant revision is the inclusion of a new Article 5, Compensation. The prior edition did not include a
location for including the compensation to be paid for the services. The last article, Article 6, Special Terms and
Conditions, replaces the former Article 5, Modifications.

USING B2062007
Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to
comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a
document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language
be struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that
would completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the
completed and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the
software permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors
and cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not
permitted under the users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and
violate the AIAs copyright.

Cover Page
Project: Describe the Project by including (1) the official name or title of the facility, and (2) the location or address,
if known.

Identification of the Parties: State the names and addresses of the parties exactly as they are identified in the Owner-
Architect agreement into which this scope of services document is incorporated, or to which it provides the scope of
services for an amendment.

Date: Provide the date of the existing Owner-Architect Agreement. Providing that date will assist in identifying this
scope of services document with the existing owner-architect agreement being modified.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose
AIA Document B2092007 provides the Architects scope of services for Construction Contract Administration in a
standard form that the Owner and Architect can modify to suit the needs of the Project. B2092007 is intended for use
only when the Owner has retained another architect who is responsible for the Projects design and Contract
Documents. Some states require the architect that signs and/or seals the Contract Documents also to perform
construction contract administration services. Before executing this document, users should verify whether such
requirements exist in the jurisdiction where the Project is located.

B2092007 is not a stand-alone document and to become effective it must be incorporated into an owner-architect
agreement. It may be used with AIA Document B1022007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and
Architect, to provide the Architects sole scope of services, or with B1022007 in conjunction with other standard
form services documents. It may also be incorporated into any owner-architect agreement when the agreement is
executed or used with G8022007, Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement, to create a modification to
any owner-architect agreement. If using this B2092007 to modify an existing owner-architect agreement that
provides a written scope of services for construction contract administration, exercise care to ensure that the
incorporation of B2092007 does not create any inconsistencies.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents
AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties
on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent among documents.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of the
Work on the basis of oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement forms have been developed
through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition, the standard
forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to
comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a
document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language
be struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that
would completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the
completed and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the
software permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors
and cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not
permitted under the users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and
violate the AIAs copyright.

2.14 CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION SERVICES
2.14.1 EVALUATIONS OF THE WORK
2.14.1.1 The Contract Administration Architect shall visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of construction,
or as otherwise required in Section 3.3, to become generally familiar with the progress and quality of the portion of
the Work completed, and to determine, in general, if the Work observed is being performed in a manner indicating
that the Work, when fully completed, will be in accordance with the Contract Documents. However, the Contract
Administration Architect shall not be required to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the
quality or quantity of the Work. On the basis of the site visits, the Contract Administration Architect shall keep the
Owner reasonably informed about the progress and quality of the portion of the Work completed, and report to the
Owner (1) known deviations from the Contract Documents and from the most recent construction schedule submitted
by the Contractor, and (2) defects and deficiencies observed in the Work.

2.14.1.2 The Contract Administration Architect has the authority to reject Work that does not conform to the
Contract Documents. Whenever the Contract Administration Architect considers it necessary or advisable, the
Contract Administration Architect shall have the authority to require inspection or testing of the Work in accordance
with the provisions of the Contract Documents, whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed or completed.
However, neither this authority of the Contract Administration Architect nor a decision made in good faith either to
exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the Contract Administration
Architect to the Contractor, Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their agents or employees or other
persons or entities performing portions of the Work.

2.15 CERTIFICATES FOR PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR
2.15.1 The Contract Administration Architect shall review and certify the amounts due the Contractor and shall issue
Certificates for Payment in such amounts. The Contract Administration Architect shall consult with the Owners
Design Architect before issuing Certificates for Payment. The Contract Administration Architects certification for

the Work as provided in Section 2.14.1 and on the data comprising the Contractors Application for Payment, that, to
the best of the Contract Administration Architects knowledge, information and belief, the Work has progressed to the
point indicated and that the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The foregoing
representations are subject (1) to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents upon
Substantial Completion, (2) to results of subsequent tests and inspections, (3) to correction of minor deviations from
the Contract Documents prior to completion, and (4) to specific qualifications expressed by the Contract
Administration Architect.

2.15.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a representation that the Contract Administration
Architect has (1) made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2)
reviewed construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions
received from Subcontractors and material suppliers and other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the

Administration Architect shall review and approve or take other appropriate action upon the Contractors Submittals
such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with

the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other information such as dimensions, quantities, and
installation or performance of equipment or systems, which are the Contractors responsibility. The Contract
Administration Architects review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise specifically
stated by the Contract Administration Architect, of any construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or

GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose
AIA Document B2102007 provides the Architects scope of services for Facility Support in a standard form that the
Owner and Architect can modify to suit the needs of the Project. It is not a fixed scope of services, but is instead a
menu of services from which the parties may select. B2102007 is not a stand-alone document and to become
effective it must be incorporated into an owner-architect agreement. It may be used with AIA Document B102

2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, to provide the Architects sole scope of services,
or with B1022007 in conjunction with other standard form services documents. It may also be incorporated into any
owner-architect agreement when the agreement is executed or used with G802

2007, Amendment to the


Professional Services Agreement, to create a modification to any owner-architect agreement

Why Use AIA Contract Documents
AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties
on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal
documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet they are written, as far as possible,
in everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended to be modified to fit individual
projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original, printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent among documents.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of the
Work on the basis of oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement forms have been developed
through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition, the standard
forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms
Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words Standard Form. The term
standard is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members or
others in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair and balanced
baselines from which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general acceptance
within the construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry spanning 50
stateseach free to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industryAIA documents form the
basis for a generally consistent body of construction law.

Use of Current Documents
Prior to using any AIA Contract Document, users should consult www.aia.org or a local AIA component to verify the
most recent edition.

Reproductions
This document is a copyrighted work and may not be reproduced or excerpted from without the express written
permission of the AIA. There is no implied permission to reproduce this document, nor does membership in The
American Institute of Architects confer any further rights to reproduce this document.

The AIA hereby grants the purchaser a limited license to reproduce a maximum of ten copies of a completed B210
2007, but only for use in connection with a particular project. The AIA will not permit reproduction outside of the
limited license for reproduction granted above, except upon written request and receipt of written permission from the

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
This standard form of architects services document was revised in 2007 so that it would follow the format and
terminology used in the 2007 editions of the following standard form owner-architect agreements: AIA Documents
B1012007, B1032007, and B1042007.

A new Article 1, Initial Information, is added. Project administration services, formerly covered under Article 1, are
now incorporated into Article 2. Supporting Services, formerly in Article 2, are re-titled Owners Responsibilities and
are now located in Article 4. The architects services, formerly in Articles 3 and 4, are now set forth in Articles 2 and
3. The services themselves are not changed from the previous edition.

The most significant revision is the inclusion of a new Article 5, Compensation. The prior edition did not include a
location for including the compensation to be paid for the services. The last article, Article 6, Special Terms and
Conditions, replaces the former Article 5, Modifications.

USING B2102007
Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to
comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a
document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language
be struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that
would completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the
completed and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the
software permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors
and cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not
permitted under the users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and
violate the AIAs copyright.

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
This standard form of architects services document was revised in 2007 so that it would follow the format and

GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose
AIA Document B2142007 provides the Architects scope of services for LEED Certification in a standard form that
the Owner and Architect can modify to suit the needs of the Project. B2142007 is not a stand-alone document and to
become effective it must be incorporated into an owner-architect agreement. It may be used with AIA Document
B102

2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, to provide the Architects sole scope of
services, or with B1022007 in conjunction with other standard form services documents. It may also be incorporated
into any owner-architect agreement when the agreement is executed or used with G802

2007, Amendment to the


Professional Services Agreement, to create a modification to any owner-architect agreement.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents
AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties
on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal
documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet they are written, as far as possible,
in everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended to be modified to fit individual
projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original, printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent among documents.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of the
Work on the basis of oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement forms have been developed
through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition, the standard
forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms
Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words "Standard Form." The term
"standard" is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members or
others in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair and balanced
baselines from which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general acceptance
within the construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry spanning 50
stateseach free to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industryAIA documents form the
basis for a generally consistent body of construction law.

Use of Current Documents
Prior to using any AIA Contract Document, users should consult www.aia.org or a local AIA component to verify the
most recent edition.

Reproductions
This document is a copyrighted work and may not be reproduced or excerpted from without the express written
permission of the AIA. There is no implied permission to reproduce this document, nor does membership in The
American Institute of Architects confer any further rights to reproduce this document.

The AIA hereby grants the purchaser a limited license to reproduce a maximum of ten copies of a completed B214
2007, but only for use in connection with a particular project. The AIA will not permit reproduction outside of the
limited license for reproduction granted above, except upon written request and receipt of written permission from the
AIA.

Rights to reproduce the document may vary for users of AIA software. Licensed AIA software users should consult

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
This standard form of architects services document was revised in 2007 so that it would follow the format and
terminology used in the 2007 editions of the following standard form owner-architect agreements: AIA Documents
B1012007, B1032007, and B1042007.

A new Article 1, Initial Information, is added. Project administration services, formerly covered under Article 1, are
now incorporated into Article 2. Supporting Services, formerly in Article 2, are re-titled Owners Responsibilities and
are now located in Article 4. The architects services, formerly in Articles 3 and 4, are now set forth in Articles 2 and
3. The services themselves are not changed from the previous edition.

The most significant revision is the inclusion of a new Article 5, Compensation. The prior edition did not include a
location for including the compensation to be paid for the services. The last article, Article 6, Special Terms and
Conditions, replaces the former Article 5, Modifications.

USING B2142007
Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to
comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a
document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language
be struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that
would completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the
completed and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the
software permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors
and cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not
permitted under the user's limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and
violate the AIA's copyright.

Cover Page
Project: Describe the Project by including (1) the official name or title of the facility, and (2) the location or address,
if known.

Identification of the Parties: State the names and addresses of the parties exactly as they are identified in the Owner-
Architect agreement into which this scope of services document is incorporated, or to which it provides the scope of
services for an amendment.

Date: Provide the date of the existing Owner-Architect Agreement. Providing that date will assist in identifying this
scope of services document with the existing owner-architect agreement being modified.

2.7.2 The Architect shall prepare responses to questions from prospective bidders and provide clarifications and
interpretations of the Bidding Documents related to LEED certification in the form of addenda.

2.7.3 The Architect shall consider requests for substitutions, if permitted by the Bidding Documents, and shall
prepare addenda identifying approved substitutions related to LEED certification.

2.7.4 The Architect shall assist the Owner in bid validation or proposal evaluation and determination of the
successful bid or proposal, if any, related to LEED certification.

2.8 LEED CERTIFICATION SERVICES DURING CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION
2.8.1 The Architect shall review properly prepared, timely requests by the Contractor for additional information
about the Contract Documents related to LEED certification. A properly prepared request for additional information
about the Contract Documents shall be in a form prepared or approved by the Architect and shall include a detailed
written statement that indicates the specific Drawings or Specifications in need of clarification and the nature of the
clarification requested.

2.8.2 If deemed appropriate by the Architect, the Architect shall, on the Owners behalf, prepare, reproduce and
distribute supplemental Drawings, Specifications and information in response to requests for information by the
Contractor related to LEED certification.

2.8.3 Subject to Section 3.1, the Architect, as a representative of the Owner, shall visit the site at intervals
appropriate to the stage of the Contractors operations, or as otherwise agreed by the Owner and the Architect in
Section 3.1.4, to become generally familiar with and to keep the Owner informed about the progress of the portions of
the Work related to LEED certification. However, the Architect shall not be required to make exhaustive or
continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work. The Architect shall not have control over,
charge of, or be responsible for, the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or for safety
precautions and programs in connection with the Work, since these are solely the Contractors rights and
responsibilities under the Contract Documents.

2.8.4 The Architect shall at all times have access to the Work wherever it is in preparation or progress.

2.8.5 Subject to Section 3.1, the Architect shall review and approve or take other appropriate action upon the
Contractors submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the limited purpose of
checking for conformance with requirements for LEED certification. The Architects action shall be taken with such
reasonable promptness as to cause no delay in the Work or in the activities of the Owner, Owners consultants or
Contractor, while allowing sufficient time in the Architects professional judgment to permit adequate review. Review
of such submittals is not for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other information such as
dimensions, quantities, and installation or performance of equipment or systems, which are the Contractors
responsibility. The Architects review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise
specifically stated by the Architect, of any construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The
Architects approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.

2.8.6 The Architect shall review properly prepared, timely requests by the Owner, Owners consultants or Contractor
for changes in the Work related to LEED certification. A properly prepared request for a change in the Work shall be
accompanied by sufficient supporting data and information to permit the Architect to make a reasonable determination
without extensive investigation or preparation of additional drawings or specifications. If the Architect determines that
requested changes in the Work are not materially different from the requirements for LEED certification, the Architect
shall recommend an order for a minor change in the Work be issued or recommend to the Owner that the requested
change be denied.

2.8.7 If the Architect determines that implementation of the requested changes would result in a material change to
the LEED certification, the Architect shall notify the Owner, who may authorize further investigation of such change.
Upon such authorization, and based upon information furnished by the Contractor, if any, the Architect shall make a
recommendation to the Owner regarding the implementation of the requested changes.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose
AIA Document B2522007 provides the Architects scope of services for Architectural Interior Design in a standard
form that the Owner and Architect can modify to suit the needs of the Project. B2522007 also includes services for
the design of furniture, furnishings and equipment (FF&E). B2522007 is not a stand-alone document and to become
effective it must be incorporated into an owner-architect agreement. It may be used with AIA Document B102
2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect without a Predefined Scope of Architects
Services, to provide the Architects sole scope of services, or with B1022007 in conjunction with other standard form
services documents. It may also be incorporated into any owner-architect agreement when the agreement is executed
or used with G8022007, Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement, to create a modification to any
owner-architect agreement.

Related Documents
B2522007 is intended for use in conjunction with AIA Document A2512007, General Conditions of the Contract
for Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment, and AIA Document A2012007, General Conditions of the Contract for
Construction, both of which it incorporates by reference.

Where the Owner requires design services related only to the purchase of FF&E and not including architectural
interior design services, AIA Document B1532007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for
Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment Design, or AIA Document B2532007, Standard Form of Architects Services:
Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment Design, may be used. However, B2532007 is not a stand-alone document, and
must be incorporated into an owner-architect agreement.

The following other documents in the AIA Interiors Family of Documents are specifically related to the purchase of
FF&E:

A7512007, Invitation and Instructions for Quotation for Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment
A1512007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Vendor for Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment

Uniform Commercial Code
B2522007 and the other documents in the AIA Interiors Family of Documents depart from prior editions of AIA
Interiors documents through their coordination with provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). The UCC is
the legal framework for commercial transactions, including those involving the sale of goods, and it supplies by
statute certain terms that may be omitted from a contract. Generally, the UCC may be obtained from public libraries,
law bookstores and any states department of commerce, or online at the Web site of each respective state.

Because the purchase of FF&E is governed by the UCC, B2522007 has been developed to coordinate with its
provisions. AIA Document A2512007, General Conditions of the Contract for Furniture, Furnishings and
Equipment, recognizes terms used in the UCC such as acceptance and rejection, which have become commercial
standards, and supplements the UCC by adopting industry-familiar practices. Parties to contracts for the design and
purchase of FF&E should become familiar with the applicable provisions of the UCC.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents
AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties
on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal
documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet they are written, as far as possible,
in everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended to be modified to fit individual
projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original, printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent among documents.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of the
Work on the basis of oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement forms have been developed
through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition, the standard
forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms
Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words Standard Form. The term
standard is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members or
others in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair and balanced
baselines from which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general acceptance
within the construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry spanning 50
stateseach free to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industryAIA documents form the
basis for a generally consistent body of construction law.

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
This standard form of architects services document was revised in 2007 so that it would follow the format and
terminology used in the 2007 editions of the following standard form owner-architect agreements: AIA Documents
B1012007, B1032007 and B1042007.

A new Article 1, Initial Information, is added. Project administration services, formerly covered under Article 1, are
now incorporated into Article 2, except that former Section 1.5, Evaluation of Budget and Cost of the Work, is revised
and placed in Article 5, Cost of the Work. Supporting Services, formerly in Article 2, are re-titled Owners
Responsibilities and are now located in Article 4. The architects services, formerly in Articles 3, 4, 5 and 6, are now
set forth in Articles 2 and 3. The services themselves are changed from the previous edition to conform to the
Architects services in B1012007, B1032007 and B1042007.

The most significant revision is the inclusion of a new Article 6, Compensation. The prior edition did not include a
location for including the compensation to be paid for the services. The last article, Article 7, Special Terms and
Conditions, replaces the former Article 8, Modifications.

USING B2522007
Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to
comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a
document.

provided in the Contract Documents.

2.11.2 EVALUATIONS OF THE WORK
2.11.2.1 The Architect shall visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of construction, or as otherwise required
in Section 3.3.3, to become generally familiar with the progress and quality of the portion of the Work completed, and
to determine, in general, if the Work observed is being performed in a manner indicating that the Work, when fully

exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the Architect to the Contractor,
Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their agents or employees or other persons or entities performing
portions of the Work.

2.11.3 CERTIFICATES FOR PAYMENT TO CONTRACTOR
2.11.3.1 The Architect shall review and certify the amounts due the Contractor and shall issue certificates in such

Application for Payment, that, to the best of the Architects knowledge, information and belief, the Work has
progressed to the point indicated and that the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The
foregoing representations are subject to (1) an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents
upon Substantial Completion; (2) the results of subsequent tests and inspections; (3) the correction of minor deviations
from the Contract Documents prior to final completion; and (4) specific qualifications expressed by the Architect.

2.11.3.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a representation that the Architect has (1) made
exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work; (2) reviewed construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction, fabrication, procurement, shipment, delivery or
installation; (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from subcontractors and material suppliers and other data
requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractors right to payment; or (4) ascertained how or for what purpose
the Contractor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum.

sufficient time in the Architect's professional judgment to permit adequate review.

2.11.4.2 In accordance with the Architect-approved submittal schedule, the Architect shall review and approve or take
other appropriate action upon the Contractors submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only
for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with information given and the design concept expressed in the
Contract Documents. Review of such submittals is not for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness
of other information such as dimensions, quantities, and installation or performance of equipment or systems, which
are the Contractors responsibility. The Architects review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless

recognized, however, that neither the Architect nor Owner has control over the cost of labor, materials, furniture,
furnishings or equipment; over the Contractors methods of determining bid prices; or over market conditions.
Accordingly, the Architect cannot and does not warrant or represent that bids or quotations will not vary from the

Architects estimate of the Cost of the Work may be based on current area, volume or similar conceptual estimating
techniques. If an increase in the Contract Sum occurring after execution of the Contract between the Owner and the
Contractor causes the budget for the Cost of the Work to be exceeded, that budget shall be increased accordingly.

5.4 If bidding or requests for quotations have not commenced within 90 days after the Architect submits the Contract
Documents to the Owner, through no fault of the Architect, the Owners budget for the Cost of the Work shall be
adjusted to reflect changes in the general level of prices in the applicable market.

Architect without a Predefined Scope of Architects Services, to provide the Architects sole scope of services, or with
B1022007 in conjunction with other standard form services documents. It may also be incorporated into any owner-
architect agreement when the agreement is executed or used with G802

2007, Amendment to the Professional


Services Agreement, to create a modification to any owner-architect agreement.

Related Documents
B2532007 is intended for use in conjunction with AIA Document A2512007, General Conditions of the Contract
for Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment, which it incorporates by reference.

The following other documents in the AIA Interiors Family of Documents are specifically related to the purchase of
FF&E:

A7512007, Invitation and Instructions for Quotation for Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment
A1512007, Agreement Between Owner and Vendor for Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment

Where the Owner requires design services related to the purchase of FF&E as well as architectural interior design
services, AIA Document B1522007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for Architectural
Interior Design Services, or AIA Document B2522007, Standard Form of Architects Services: Architectural Interior
Design, may be used. However, B2522007 is not a stand-alone document, and must be incorporated into an owner-
architect agreement.

Uniform Commercial Code
B2532007 and the other documents in the AIA Interiors Family of Documents depart from prior editions of AIA
Interiors documents through their coordination with provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). The UCC is
the legal framework for commercial transactions, including those involving the sale of goods, and it supplies by
statute certain terms that may be omitted from a contract. Generally, the UCC may be obtained from public libraries,
law bookstores and any states department of commerce, or online at the Web site of each respective state.

Because the purchase of FF&E is governed by the UCC, B2532007 has been developed to coordinate with its
provisions. AIA Document A2512007, General Conditions of the Contract for Furniture, Furnishings and
Equipment, recognizes terms used in the UCC such as acceptance and rejection, which have become commercial
standards, and supplements the UCC by adopting industry-familiar practices. Parties to contracts for the design and
purchase of FF&E should become familiar with the applicable provisions of the UCC.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents
AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties
on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal
documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet they are written, as far as possible,
in everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended to be modified to fit individual
projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original, printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent among documents.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of the
Work on the basis of oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement forms have been developed
through more than 100 years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition, the standard
forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Standard Forms
Most AIA documents published since 1906 have contained in their titles the words Standard Form. The term
standard is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for AIA members or
others in the construction industry. Rather, the AIA standard documents are intended to be used as fair and balanced
baselines from which the parties can negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won general acceptance
within the construction industry and have been uniformly interpreted by the courts. Within an industry spanning 50
stateseach free to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws affecting that industryAIA documents form the
basis for a generally consistent body of construction law.

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
This standard form of architects services document was revised in 2007 so that it would follow the format and
terminology used in the 2007 editions of the following standard form owner-architect agreements: AIA Documents
B1012007, B1032007, and B1042007.

A new Article 1, Initial Information, is added. Project administration services, formerly covered under Article 1, are
now incorporated into Article 2. Supporting Services, formerly in Article 2, are re-titled Owners Responsibilities and
are now located in Article 4. The architects services, formerly in Articles 3 and 4, are now set forth in Articles 2 and
3. The services themselves are not changed from the previous edition.

The most significant revision is the inclusion of a new Article 5, Compensation. The prior edition did not include a
location for including the compensation to be paid for the services. The last article, Article 6, Special Terms and
Conditions, replaces the former Article 5, Modifications.

USING B2532007
Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to
comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a
document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language
be struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that
would completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the
completed and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the
software permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.
AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors
and cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not
permitted under the users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and
violate the AIAs copyright.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Purpose
This document is intended for use in the event that the Owner wants additional project representation at the construction
site on a full- or part-time basis. Under B352, the Project Representative is employed and supervised by the Architect.
In contrast, up until the early 1950s, B352 predecessor documents called the Representative "the Clerk of the Works,"
because such persons were hired by the Owner but supervised by the Architect. The split between hiring and
supervising caused numerous problems which have been resolved under B352 by the Architect acting as both employer
and supervisor.

Related Documents
This document is adopted by reference in several B-Series agreements, including AIA Documents B141, B141/CMa
and B171. It is coordinated with AIA Document A201, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, as well as
other similar AIA general conditions where the Architect has an agreement with the Owner.

Why Use AIA Contract Documents?
AIA contract documents are the product of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties
on the construction project. The documents reflect actual industry practices, not theory. They are state-of-the-art legal
documents, regularly revised to keep up with changes in law and the industryyet they are written, as far as possible, in
everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents are flexible: they are intended to be modified to fit individual
projects, but in such a way that modifications are easily distinguished from the original, printed language.

Use of Non-AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent among documents.

Use of Current Documents
Prior to using any AIA document, the user should consult an AIA component chapter or a current AIA Documents Price
List to determine the current edition of each document.

Reproductions
This document is a copyrighted work and may not be reproduced or excerpted from without the express written
permission of the AIA. There is no implied permission to reproduce this document, nor does membership in The
American Institute of Architects confer any further rights to reproduce this document.

This document is intended for use as a consumable-that is, the original document purchased is to be consumed in the
course of its use. This document may not be reproduced for Project Manuals. If a user wishes to include a sample or
samples of this document in a Project Manual, the normal practice is to purchase a quantity of the preprinted forms,
binding one in each of the manuals.

Unlike many other AIA Contract Documents, AIA Document B352 does not include the AIA's express written
permission to reproduce copies of the document. The AIA will not permit reproduction of this document or its language,
except upon written request and receipt of written permission from the AIA.
Rights to reproduce the document may vary for users of AIA software. Licensed AIA software users should consult the
End User License Agreement (EULA).

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION

Rather than an exhibit, the B352 is now recommended as a reference document. Other provisions have been changed to
parallel the latest edition of AIA Document A201, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction.

USING THE B352 FORM

The B352 document may be used as a reference document attached to an owner-architect agreement, such as AIA
Document B141, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect. It may also be referenced separately in
the Owner-Architect Agreement or in an amendment to that Agreement. So long as the reference incorporating B352 is
clear and definite, it will be given legal effect as if it had been written in full into the Owner-Architect Agreement.

Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest
charges, arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to
comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a
document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language be
struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that would
completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the completed
and signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the software
permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors and
cloud legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not permitted
under the user's limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and violate the
AIA's copyright.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Purpose
AIA Document B727 is intended for use in situations where other B-Series documents are not appropriate. It is often
used for planning or feasibility studies, post-occupancy studies and other services that require a specialized description.
This document is intended for use only in connection with professional services, and is not intended to be used as a
contract for construction activity by the Architect.

This document may be used with a variety of compensation methods, including percentage of Construction Cost,
multiple of Direct Personnel Expense and stipulated sum.

Related Documents
B727 may be used by itself or with one or more of the Standard Form of Architects Services documents, to provide a
description of services for Article 1, including the following:

B203 2005, Standard Form of Architects Services: Site Evaluation and Planning
B204 2005, Standard Form of Architects Services: Value Analysis
B205 2004, Standard Form of Architects Services: Historic Preservation
B206 2004, Standard Form of Architects Services: Security Evaluation and Planning
B210 2004, Standard Form of Architects Services: Facility Support
B211 2004, Standard Form of Architects Services: Commissioning
B214 2004, Standard Form of Architects Services: LEED Certification
B252 2005, Standard Form of Architects Services: Architectural Interior Design
B253 2005, Standard Form of Architects Services: Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment Design

If the Architect will retain a consultant, the AIA provides the C727 1992, Standard Form of Agreement Between
Architect and Consultant for Special Services.

Arbitration
This document incorporates ARBITRATION by adoption of the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association. Arbitration is BINDING AND MANDATORY in most states and under the federal
Arbitration Act. In a minority of states, arbitration provisions relating to future disputes are not enforceable, but
arbitration is enforceable if agreed to after the dispute arises. A few states require that the contracting parties be
especially notified that the written contract contains an arbitration provision by: a warning on the face of the document,
specific placement of the arbitration provision within the document or specific discussions among the parties prior to
signing the document.

Arbitration provisions have been included in most AIA contract forms since 1888 in order to encourage alternative
dispute resolution procedures and to provide users of AIA documents with legally enforceable arbitration provisions
when the parties choose to adopt arbitration into their contract. Individuals may, however, choose to delete the
arbitration provisions based upon their business decisions with the advice of counsel. To obtain a copy of the
Construction Industry Arbitration Rules, write to the American Arbitration Association, 140 West 51st St., New York,
NY 10020.

Use of Non AIA Forms
If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to used, particular care must be taken to achieve
consistency of language and intent. Certain owners require the use of owner-architect agreements and other contract
forms which they prepare. Such forms should be carefully compared to the standard AIA forms for which they are being
substituted before execution of an agreement. If there are any significant omissions, additions or variances from the
terms of the related standard AIA forms, both legal and insurance counsel should be consulted.

Letter Forms of Agreement
Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a part or the whole of
professional services based on oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA agreement forms have been
developed through more than seventy-five years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the courts. In addition,
the standard forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents.

Prior to using any AIA Contract Document, users should consult www.aia.org or a local AIA component to verify the
most recent edition.

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION

Format Changes
All provisions dealing with payments to the Architect, including Direct Personnel Expense and Reimbursable Expenses,
have been consolidated and moved to the end of the document.

Changes in Content
The 1988 edition of B727 has been revised to reflect changes made in the 1987 edition of AIA Document B151
Abbreviated Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect. The following changes in content have been made in
B727 on the recommendation of AIA members and committees.

Article 2: Owners Responsibilities
If the Owner requires the Architect to provide certificates or certifications, the Owner must allow the Architect 14 days
to review them.

Article 3: Use of Architects Documents
This article is new, and allows the Architect the same rights in the document prepared for the Project as are provided
under the B141 and B151 documents.

Article 5: Termination
New provisions allow the Architect to terminate the Agreement if the Owner fails to make payments to the Architect.

Article 6: Miscellaneous Provisions
Provisions have been added noting that the Architect has no responsibility for the discovery, removal or disposal of
toxic or hazardous substances encountered on the site. Other provisions bar third-party claims.

Article 7: Payments to the Architect
The definition of Direct Salary Expense has been deleted, and computer-aided drafting has been added to the list of
Reimbursable Expenses.

Article 8: Basis of Compensation
A new provision has been added to indicate when payments are due and payable.

COMPLETING THE B727 FORM

Modifications

Instructions
Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager
where the Construction Manager is NOT a Constructor

AIA Document B801CMa 1992. Copyright 1973, 1980 and 1992 by The American Institute of Architects. All rights reserved. WARNING:
This AIA

Document is protected by U.S. Copyright Law and International Treaties. Unauthorized reproduction or distribution of this AIA


Document, or any portion of it, may result in severe civil and criminal penalties, and will be prosecuted to the maximum extent possible
under the law. Purchasers are permitted to reproduce ten (10) copies of this document when completed. To report copyright violations of AIA
Contract Documents, e-mail The American Institute of Architects legal counsel, copyright@aia.org.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Purpose. This document is intended as the basis for the agreement between the Owner and the Construction Manager for
Pre-Construction Phase and Construction Phase Services, where the Construction Manager is not also acting as a
constructor. If the Construction Manager is to perform construction work or if a Guaranteed Maximum Price is to be
established, a different agreement form should be used, such as AIA Document A121/CMc, Standard Form of
Agreement Owner and Construction Manager where the Construction Manager is also the Constructor.

Related Documents. This document is intended to be used in conjunction with the following AIA Documents:
A101/CMa, Owner-Contractor Agreement, Stipulated Sum, Construction Manager-Adviser Ed.
A201/CMa, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, Construction Manager-Adviser Ed.
B141/CMa, Owner-Architect Agreement, Construction Manager-Adviser Ed.

Arbitration. This document incorporates ARBITRATION by adoption of AIA Document A201/CMa, which provides
for dispute resolution to be conducted according to the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association. Arbitration is BINDING AND MANDATORY inmost states and under the federal Arbitration
Act. In a minority of states, arbitration provisions relating to future disputes are not enforceable, but arbitration is
enforceable if agreed to after the dispute arises. A few states require that the contracting parties be especially notified
when the written contract contains an arbitration provision by; a warning on the face of the document or specific
discussions among the parties prior to signing the document.

Arbitration provisions have been included in most AIA contract forms since 1888 in order to encourage alternative
dispute resolution procedures and to provide users of AIA documents with legally enforceable arbitration provisions
based upon their business decisions with the advice of counsel. To obtain a copy of the Construction Industry Arbitration
Rules, write to the American Arbitration Association, 140 West 51st Street, New York, NY 10020-1203.

Use of Non-AIA Forms. If a combination of AIA documents and non-AIA documents is to be used, particular care must
be taken to achieve consistency of language and intent. Certain owners require the use of owner-contractor agreements
and other.

Letter Forms of Agreement. Letter forms of agreement are generally discouraged by the AIA, as is the performance of a
part or the whole of professional services based on oral agreements or understandings. The standard AIA Agreement
forms have been developed through more than seventy-five years of experience and have been tested repeatedly in the
courts. In addition, the standard forms have been carefully coordinated with other AIA documents including the various
Owner-Architect Agreement forms, the Owner-Contractor Agreements and the General Conditions of the Contract for
Construction. The necessity for specific and complete correlation between these documents and any Owner-Construction
manager Agreement used is of paramount importance.

Use of Current Documents. Prior to using any AIA Document, the user should consult the AIA, an AIA component
chapter or a current AIA Documents List to determine the current edition of each document.

Reproductions. This document is a copyrighted work and may not be reproduced or excerpted from without the express
written permission of the AIA. There is no implied permission to reproduce this document, nor does membership in The
American Institute of Architects confer any further rights to reproduce this document.

The AIA hereby grants the purchaser a limited license to reproduce a maximum of ten copies of a completed B801/CMa,
but only for use in connection with a particular project. The AIA will not permit reproduction outside of the limited
license for reproduction granted above, except upon written request and receipt of written permission from the AIA.

Rights to reproduce the document may vary for users of AIA software. Licensed AIA software users should consult the
End User License Agreement (EULA).

CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION

Format Changes
Former Article 1, Construction Managers Services and Responsibilities, has been subdivided into three new articles. All
provisions dealing with payments to the Construction Manager, including Direct Personnel Expense and Reimbursable
Expenses, have been consolidated and moved to the end of the document.

Changes in Content
The revisions incorporated in the 1992 edition of B801/CMa generally parallel revisions made in the 1987 editions of
AIA Document A201 and B141.

Article 2 Scope of Construction Managers Basic Services
2.2.9 The Construction Managers responsibility to make recommendations to the Owner about allocation of safety
responsibilities among the Contractors has been set apart from the preceding section.

2.2.13 The Construction Manager now assists the Owner in coordinating, as well as in selecting and retaining, the
services of surveyors, special consultants and testing laboratories.

2.3.11.1 The Construction Manager (as well as the Architect, under B141/CMa) certifies the amounts due each Contractor.

2.3.17 The Construction Change Directive has been added as a means of making changes in the Work. AIA Document
G714/CMa, Construction Change Directive, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition, is available for this purpose.

2.3.26 The Construction Manager signs the Certificate of Substantial Completion (as does the Architect, under
B141/CMa). This process is described in more detail in A201/CMa, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction,
Construction Manager-Adviser Edition.

Article 3 Additional Services
Two new categories of Additional Services have been consolidated under this new article. Contingent Additional Services
are commenced upon notification of the Owner by the Construction Manager of the need for such services. Optional
Additional Services require the Owners written approval before or after their commencement to authorize payment for
those Additional Services.

Article 4 Owners Responsibilities
A new Section 4.3 has been added requiring the Owner to furnish evidence that financial arrangements have been made to
pay the Construction Manager. The Owner is now required to furnish tests for hazardous materials at the Owners
expense under Section 4.6.

Article 5 Construction Cost
This article has been divided into two separate paragraphs, the first defining Construction Cost and the second
establishing responsibility for it. The definition of Construction Cost has been clarified to explain what it includes if the
Construction Manager is being compensated on a percentage fee basis.

Article 6 Construction Support Activities
A new paragraph has been added requiring that trade discounts, rebates, refunds, etc. accrue to the Owner.

Article 7 Ownership and use of Architects Drawings, Specifications and Other Documents
This new article explains that the drawings and other documents created by the Architect for the Project are provided to
the Construction Manager and Contractors solely for use on this Project.

Article 9 Termination, Suspension or Abandonment
New provisions allow the Construction Manager to terminate the Agreement if the Owner abandons the Project for more
than 90 consecutive days or fails to make payments to the Construction Manager.

Article 10 Miscellaneous Provisions
Provisions regarding successors and assigns, and the extent of the Agreement have been added to the list of miscellaneous
provisions in this article.

Article 11 Insurance
Requirements for the Construction Managers liability insurance have been described in greater detail.

Article 12 Payments to the Construction Manager
Separate paragraphs have been provided for Direct Personnel and Reimbursable Expenses.

Article 13 Basis of Compensation
A new provision has been added to indicate when payments are due and payable.

COMPLETING THE B801/CMA FORM

Modifications
Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest charges,
arbitration, indemnification, format and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to comply with
state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a document.

In a purchased paper AIA Contract Document, necessary modifications may be accomplished by writing or typing the
appropriate terms in the blank spaces provided on the document, or by attaching Supplementary Conditions, special
conditions or referenced amendments.

Modifications directly to purchased paper AIA Contract Documents may also be achieved by striking out language.
However, care must be taken in making these kinds of deletions. Under NO circumstances should standard language be
struck out to render it illegible. For example, users should not apply blocking tape, correction fluid or Xs that would
completely obscure text. Such practices may raise suspicion of fraudulent concealment, or suggest that the completed and
signed document has been tampered with. Both parties should initial handwritten changes.

Using AIA software, modifications to insert information and revise the standard AIA text may be made as the software permits.

By reviewing properly made modifications to a standard AIA Contract 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.

AIA Contract Documents may not be retyped or electronically scanned. Retyping can introduce typographic errors and cloud
legal interpretation given to a standard clause. Furthermore, retyping and electronic scanning are not permitted under the
users limited license for use of the document, constitute the creation of a derivative work and violate the AIAs copyright.

Cover Page
Date: The date represents the date the Agreement becomes effective. It may be the date that an oral agreement was
reached, the date the Agreement was originally submitted to the Owner, the date authorizing action was taken or the date
of actual execution. Professional Services should not be performed prior to the effective date of the Agreement.

Identification of Parties: Parties of this Agreement should be identified using the full address and legal name under which
the Agreement is to be executed, including a designation of the legal status of both parties (sole proprietorship, partnership,
joint venture, unincorporated association, limited partnership or corporation [general, close or professional], etc.). Where
appropriate, a copy of the resolution authorizing the individual to act on behalf of the firm or entity should be attached.

Project Description: The proposed Project should be described in sufficient detail to identify: (1) the official name or
title of the facility, (2) the location of the site, if know, (3) the proposed building type and usage, and (4) the size, capacity
or scope of the Project, if known.

Identification of the Architect: The Architect should be identified by the Architects full legal and corporate titles, and if
any individuals required to serve the Project are identified in the owner-Architect Agreement, this information should be
included. (Identification of the Architect becomes even more significant if construction management services and
architectural services are being provided by the same firm. Identification here helps eliminate possibilities of the Owners
not being informed of the dual role being played.)

Section 1.1 Pre-Construction Phase
The Owner and Construction Manager should review Pre-Construction Phase services, especially as to timing the
Construction Managers entry into the Project. If the Owner-Construction Manager Agreement is effective as of a date
when the design has been partially completed, the Owner and the Construction Manager should agree on the extent of
design evaluation required of the Construction Manager. Consider whether or not this would include the possible
recommendation of changes in designs already completed. Any provisions which would require specific approval by the
Owner as a condition of having the Construction Manager continue from the Pre-Construction into the Construction
Phase should be stated in Article 14.

Article 13 Basis of Compensation
13.1 Insert the dollar amount of the initial payment.

13.2 Spaces have been provided to insert language covering one form of Basic Compensation for Pre-Construction
Phase Services and a separate form of Basis Compensation for Construction Phase Services, as agreed to by the parties.
Sample language is provided below for describing four methods of computing compensation.

Compensation - Multiple of Direct Personnel Expense:
Compensation for services rendered by Principals, employees and professional consultants shall be based on a Multiple
of Direct Personnel Expense in the same manner as described in Section 13.3.1.

Compensation - Professional Fee Plus Expenses:

Compensation shall be a Fixed Fee of ________ Dollars ($______) plus compensation for services rendered by
Principals, employees and professional consultants, in the same manner as described in Section 13.3.1.

Compensation - Stipulated Sum:
Compensation shall be a Stipulated Sum of ________ Dollars ($______).

Compensation - Percentage of Construction Cost:
Compensation shall be based on _________ percent (___%) of the Construction Cost, as defined in Article 5.

If compensation for the Pre-construction Phase is to be separate from, or on a different basis than, the Construction Phase,
both must be clearly described. If compensation for the Pre-construction Phase and the Construction Phase are to be
covered by a single form of compensation, and that form is either based on a Stipulated Sum or a percentage of
Construction Cost, the following Section should be completed and inserted:

13.2.2 Payments for Basic Services shall be made as provided in Section 12.3.2 so that Basic Compensation for each
Phase shall equal the following percentages of the total Basic Compensation payable:

Pre-Construction Phase ________ percent (___%)

Construction Phase ________ percent (___%)

13.3 Insert provisions for compensation for Additional Services. For example, if hourly rates are used, the provision
might read:

Principals time at the fixed rate of ________ Dollars ($______) per hour. For the purposes of this Agreement, the
Principals are: (List Principals.)

Supervisory time at the fixed rate of ________ Dollars ($______) per hour. For the purposes of this Agreement, the
supervisory personnel include: (Describe supervisory personnel by job title, such as Project Architect.)

Technical Level I time at the fixed rate of ________ Dollars ($______) per hour. For the purposes of this Agreement, the
