AIA Contract Documents

Start with contract definitions

The flashcards in CDS - Agreement Definitions ask what contract documents are, what makes them up and what the conditions of the contract include. Start with these questions to become familiar with the terms used across the page. Try answering each card before looking at its answer, then return to the terms you want to study again.

The flashcards on conditions of the contract for construction provide another place to study AIA A201 and supplementary general conditions.

See how the documents connect

The AIA documents mind map brings several forms together, including AIA A201, AIA A701 and AIA A401. It also shows bidding requirements and proposed contract documents, including an agreement and conditions of the contract. Use it alongside the definition cards to see those terms in a wider document context.

The CDS - AIA Forms flashcards cover a range of forms, including A101, A201, A701, B101 and C401. After looking at the map, use the cards to practice identifying forms and their descriptions.

Practice with a quiz

Contracts Part 2 includes questions about allowances. Try it after studying the definitions and forms, then return to the flashcards or mind map when you want to check a term. The page also has a quiz and flashcards on the contractor, completion and agreements.

Continue within the unit

AIA Contract Documents is a section of the Construction Contracts and Administration unit in Civil engineering and construction.
