American Institute of Architects 2017 Insurance Requirements – An Introduction

In early 2017, the American Institute of Architects (“AIA”) introduced its 2017 updates to its form construction contract documents, including a new exhibit that addresses insurance requirements between the owner and contractor. As AIA forms are among the most popular and commonly used form documents in the construction industry,1 the forms are usually considered construction industry standards. Any company involved in construction as a project owner, architect, contractor or subcontractor should familiarize itself with the new AIA insurance terms and carefully consider the insurance coverage for any project it will undertake.2

Overview of the AIA Changes

It has been AIA’s practice to revise its family of contract documents every 10 years, with the last revision in 2007. While the 2017 changes go beyond insurance, possibly the most noteworthy change in 2017 is the launch of a separate exhibit for insurance. Entitled AIA Document A101™ – 2017 Exhibit A – Insurance and Bonds, this document is intended to be used in conjunction with AIA Document A201™ 2017 General Conditions of Construction – Article 11.3 The new exhibit does not replace Article 11; rather, the exhibit is intended to expand upon the insurance provisions of Article 11.Read More »American Institute of Architects 2017 Insurance Requirements – An Introduction
