OF THE CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION
AIA DOCUMENT A201-1997
Abstract
Representation of the Owner in the construction process is multi-faceted and never ending. The place to start however is with the private law that Owner's counsel has an opportunity to craft in connection with the development of the construction contract documents. There are a myriad of "standard" forms as well as the forms developed by various institutional constructors such as universities, other state agencies, the federal government, etc. etc. However for purposes of common understanding and simplicity a discussion of contract documents will be undertaken based upon the American Institute of Architects General Conditions of the Contract for Construction.
While the AIA documents form a basis for common ground and a check list for covering most of the bases, they are by no means complete nor do the fit every project or every Owner's needs. The foregoing is just a sampling of some of the key areas for consideration for modification or amplification to protect the Owner's interest.
