AIA
East Bay is a full-service distributor of AIA Contract Documents,
the most widely used standard form contracts in the building industry.
The first AIA contract documents were published in 1888. Today, there
are more than 80 contracts and administrative forms available from the
AIA. The AIA Contract Documents have been finely tuned during their 115-year
history to reflect the latest changes in law and the construction industry.
As a result, the comprehensive contracts and forms have been tested by
the courts and are widely considered the industry standard.
Anyone may
purchase and use the AIA Contract Documents. AIA Members receive
a 25% discount and do not pay handling fees.
To
order AIA Contract Documents, see
the Price
List and Order Form or call us at 510/464-3600
between 9am and 6pm, Monday through Friday.
We
generally ship documents the day we receive your order, and we accept
Mastercard, VISA and Discover. AIA members do not need to pre-pay--we
will include an invoice with your order.
Frequently
Asked Questions
Can you
email/fax me a contract? No. Contract
Documents cannot be emailed or faxed, due to copyright law.
However, we are happy to mail them to you the day we receive
your order if the order is received by 4:30pm. Additionally, you can
pick them up in our office at 1405 Clay Street, Oakland. Contract Document
Software is available as an online download. You
can learn more about the electronic AIA Contract Documents by clicking
here. (Fyi, this is a complete set of the documents.) Click
here for the new video "Introduction to AIA Contract Documents."
I don't
need many contracts, but I want them electronically. Is there a small
package? Yes! In 2006 AIA East
Bay brought a Resolution to the AIA Convention to ask National to look
at the needs of small firms and sole proprietors. The result is the
Docs100 Meter license. This license gives the user access to the full
line of contracts and functionality. AIA Architect and Associate members
can download 100 Document Units to be used in 12 months; pricing is
not currently shown on the external marketing pages of the AIA National
website, but is an option when one registers to make a purchase.
I'm not
sure which contract I need. For
descriptions of the AIA Contract Documents, see the AIA
Document Synopses.
Can
you ship overnight? Yes. AIA East Bay saves
you money on overnight shipping; we use OnTrak (formerly California
Overnight). You pay only the OnTrakt charge of $15-17 (depending on
package weight). AIA East Bay does not charge additional overnight
handling fees. You may provide your own OnTrak or Federal Express shipper
number.
Do
I have to order five copies of one contract? No. AIA East Bay
is happy to sell you only the number of contracts you need, even if
only a single contract.
Can I
come down and read a few contracts to figure out what I need? Absolutely.
We're at 1405 Clay Street (the NW corner of 14th and Clay Streets) in
downtown Oakland. Take the 12th Street/City Center BART Station.
I'm curious
about these new IPD agreements. How do I use them? Please
visit http://www.aiacontractdocuments.org/ipd/
. Here you can access the articles, podcasts
and other information on IPD and the new agreements.
Do you
have the 1997 and the new 2007 copies of documents? Yes--AIA
East Bay carries a full inventory of the AIA documents, but we cannot
sell the 1997 documents after May 31, 2009, so stock up on your favorites
now!
What 1997
and other documents are retiring May 31, 2009? See
a full list and their replacements here.
