In the AIA Contract Series, which series covers Owner-Contractor Agreements?

• A. B-Owner-Architect
• B. A-series Owner-Contractor Agreements
• C. C-Other agreements
• D. G-Contract Admin and PM Forms

Answer: (B)

The documents are organized by which two parties are entering the contract. The set dedicated to agreements between the owner and the contractor is the owner-contractor series. This grouping is separate from the owner-architect series (which governs the owner’s relationship with the architect), the miscellaneous C-series (other kinds of agreements), and the G-series (contract administration and project management forms used during construction). So for forming and governing the construction contract between the owner and the contractor, you use the owner-contractor series.
