AIA Changes – It’s Time to Convert Before It’s Too Late
Jeffrey M. Reichard of Nexsen Pruet offers a reminder that the American Institute of Architects (AIA) will discontinue support of older versions of its most popular standard form contracts after Oct. 31, 2018.
“This means you will no longer be able to create, edit or even finalize a 2007 AIA document after that date,” he warns. “If you haven’t already done so, now is the time to convert your standard form contracts to the 2017 versions.”
He writes that one important change is the creation of a new insurance exhibit which changes and expands the terms related to insurance coverage previously included in the body of the A201.
