AIA A201 - 2007

The Link below is a copy of the “Guideline for Iowa Supplemental General Conditions” containing suggested modifications to the new AIA Document A201 (2007) General Conditions of the Contract for Construction. This Guideline addresses local issues in Iowa and is the result of the collaborative efforts of the American Institute of Architects, Iowa Chapter (AIA Iowa), Master Builders of Iowa (MBI) and the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies of Iowa (ACECI). Representatives from each of these organizations are members of the Iowa Construction Industry Forum (ICIF), a joint industry council formed to resolve industry-related issues. This Guideline offers modifications to AIA Document A-201 (2007) that we believe are more reflective of construction practices in the state of Iowa. It remains the collective intention of all three organizations to continue to improve business relationships with our clients, and we have mutually agreed to issue this Guideline to building owners for their use in establishing contractual requirements for their construction projects.

ConsensusDOCS contracts are developed by a coalition of 35 leading industry associations representing owners, contractors, subcontractors, designers and sureties. ConsensusDOCS contracts protect the best interests of the project rather than a singular party, yielding better project results and fewer disputes.
