Episode 19: AIA Contract Documents

The American Institute of Architects has been creating and disseminating all kinds of construction contracts for more than 120 years. These documents have become an integral part of the way lawyers, owners and contactors think about construction deals. In this podcast we talk with James “Jimmy” Germano, Manager and Counsel for the AIA Contract Documents. Jimmy tells us about the background of the AIA, the structure of the document system, how the documents are revised and updated, and where the AIA headed.  It is an interesting, fun and informative discussion.
