Official
Guide to the 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.
