DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6edc0a/the_american_insti) has
announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report "The American
Institute of Architects Official Guide to the 2007 AIA Contract Documents" to
their offering.

No other contracts are more widely used in the construction industry than the
American Institute of Architects' standard forms. The American Institute of
Architects Official Guide to the 2007 AIA Contract Documents offers unparalleled
insight into the AIA's extensive portfolio of contract documents, helping the
reader understand the forms and how to implement them.

This guide is divided into two parts: Part One, The AIA Standard Documents,
examines the role of AIA Contract Documents, their history, and how the
documents are written and updated. It also reviews the educational and
supporting resources that are part of the AIA's contract documents program; Part
Two, The AIA Documents Companion, describes agreements in detail, including the
purpose and rationale for provisions. Separate chapters cover the
owner-contractor, contractor-subcontractor, owner-architect, and
architect-consultant agreements. The guide concludes with a chapter describing
pivotal legal cases that have helped shape and interpret AIA contracts.

Samples of the most commonly used contracts are in print in the appendix, and an
accompanying CD-ROM has samples of all AIA Contract Documents (in PDF format for
Mac and PC computers) that released in 2007, as well as the Integrated Project
Delivery Family of documents that released in 2008. This book is invaluable for
construction project owners, attorneys, contractors, subcontractors, design
professionals, and others involved in the procurement, management, and delivery
of building projects. It is also recommended for students and young
professionals seeking a degree, certification, or licensure.
