AIA Documents B101, B103 and other key OwnerArchitect Agreements are being revised for release in 2017. Attendees will leave this session with an understanding of the 2017 revisions to the Owner-Architect agreements; will be able to select appropriate contracts for their projects; and will evaluate the suitability of alternative contract terms. Presenters will also discuss the new Sustainable Projects Exhibit and explore how it can be used to provide a positive impact on the health and safety of building occupants.
The newly released documents at the heart of the AIA Contract Documents program-- the A201- related AIA OwnerArchitect Agreements-- are revised by the Documents Committee on a 10-year cycle. The Documents Committee strives to achieve balance in the contract language and to build consensus among the industry stakeholders.
This program will give attendees an insight into the AIAs revision process, as well as a chance to learn about the revised Owner-Architect agreements. Subject matter experts and practitioners will share their experiences with all participants as they examine the newly revised Owner-Architect agreements. The program will prepare participants to select appropriate AIA contracts for their particular project and practice, as well as to evaluate the suitability of alternative contract terms and language. Presenters will also discuss the new Sustainable Projects Exhibit and explore how it can provide a positive impact on the health and safety of building occupants.
