•~~''`~~i3r.
On construction projects, hundreds of contractual relationships are created between owners, architects, architects'
consultants, contractors, subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, and others down through the multiple tiers of •
pazticipants. If custom-crafted agreemenu were written in isolation for each of those contractual relationships, the
problems of overlaps and gaps in the numerous participants'responsibilitiescould lead to mass confusion and chaos.
To prevent and solve this problem, the construction industry commonly uses standazdized general conditions, such as
AIA Document Azot-t997, for coordinating those many relationships on the project by its adoption into each contract.
AIA expends a great deal of time and resources in the development of Azot and its other d«uments to provide four
types of linkages in the tiers of legal relationships. In addition to adoption o(Azot into each agreement, related AIA
d«uments are crafted with common phrasing, uniform definitions and a consistent, logical all«ation of ,- :
„
.
responsibilities down through the tiers of relationships. Together then documents are known u the Azot Family of ,~~

DISPUTE RESOLUTION-MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION. This d«ument contains provisions for mediation
and arbitration o(claims and disputes. Mediation is anon-binding pr«ess, but is mandatory under the terms of this
d«ument. Arbitration is mandatory under the terms of this d«ument and binding in most states and under the
Federal Arbitration Acl. In a minority of states, arbitration prrnisions relating to future disputes are not enforceable
but the parties may agree to arbitrate after the dispute arises. Even in those states, under certain circumstances
(for example, in a transaction invoking interstate commerce), arbitration provisions may be enforceable under the
Federal Arbitration Act.
The AfA does not administer dispute resolution processes. To submit disputes to mediation or arbitration or to obtain
copies of the applicable mediation or arbitration rules, write to the American Arbitration Ass«iation or call
(f~) 778-7879 The American Arbitration Ass«iation also may be contacted at http:/Avww.adcorg.
WHY USE AIA CONTRACT DOCUMENTST AIA contract d«uments are the product of aconsensus-building
pr«ess aimed at balancing the interests of all paries on the construction project. The d«uments reflect actual
industry practices, not theory. They are stale-of-the-act legal d«uments, regularly reviud to keep up with changes in
law and the industry-yet they are written, as far as possible, in everyday language. Finally, AIA contract documents
are flexible: they are intended to be modified to fit individual projects, but in such a way that madificatioms are
easily distinguished from the original, printed language. ~ -
For further information on AIAs approach to drafting contract d«uments see AIA D«ument [vltzo, D«ument
Drafting Principles. _
USE OF NON-AIA FORMS. If a combination of AIA d«uments and non-AIA d«uments is to be used, particular
care must be taken to achieve consistency of language and intent among d«uments.
jjll STANDARD FORMS. Most AIA d«uments published since t9o6 have contained in their titles the words "Standard
o a Form." The term "standard" is not meant to imply that a uniform set of contractual requirements is mandatory for
°o• o
" o AIA members or others in the construction industry. Rather, the AlA atendard d«uments art intended to be uud as
0 0.~ fair and balanced baselines from which the paries tan negotiate their bargains. As such, the documents have won
- O 1997 n t n ® general acceptance within the conswction industry and have been uniformly interprNed by the courts: Within an
t DOCUMENT A201-1997 industry spanning So states-each free to adopt different, and perhaps contradictory, laws a(fecling that mduslry-
AIAdocuments form the basis for a generally consistent body of construction law. - - ~~

Because Azot-t997 is designed for general usage, it does not provide all the information znd legal requirements
needed for a specific Project and location. Neussary additional requirements must be provided in the other Contract
Documents, ouch as the Supplementary Conditions. Consult AIA Document ASZt, Uniform Location of Subject
Matter, to determine the proper IocaUon for such additionil stipulations. •
It is definitely not recommended practice to retype the standard document. Besides being a violation of copyright,
retyping can introduu typographical errors and cloud the legal interpretation given to a standard clause when
blended with modifications, thereby elimirating one of the principal advantages of standard form documents. By
merely reviewing the modifications to be made to a standard form documrn6 parties familiar with that document can_ __._, ,. -
quickly understand the essence of the proposed relationship. Commercial exchanges arc greatly simplified and=_
expedited, good-faith dealing is encouraged, and otherwise latent clauses are exposed for scrutiny. In this way, -: -
contracting parties can more confidently and fairly measure their risks.
