AIA Bookstore
AIA Official Guide to the 2007 AIA Contract Documents, Opening with a broad overview of contract law, this guide avoids legal jargon in describing the rationale for having contract documents. Highlighting the changes from the now-obsolete 1997 documents, the authors give the reasons and benefits of these changes—based on legal precedent, research, review, analysis, and multi-party consensus debate. Meticulously parsing each AIA Contract Document, this text includes also the leading case law that has shaped and interpreted the documents.
