The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has released six new contracts to accommodate the "unique aspects of interiors projects." They will also be offering a webinar in June to highlight these documents and workflows.

Contract Details

For more details on each of these contracts, take a look at these links (including the sample view option):



Paid Resource

These documents require a fee to use/execute them. Most firm, I think, in the USA have a subscription that allows unlimited use of these documents. If your firm does have this, ask for a printout of the A201 with commentary sometime for a good study guide (especially for the CSI CDT exam).

Free Webinar

Below is a description for the webinar, which will be on June 18, 2019. I will have to watch the recording as I will be London for Autodesk University during this time period.
"Designing and building out an interior space is a unique practice with its own risk and responsibilities, including the fact that the sale of furniture, furnishings, and equipment (FF&E) is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code. 
Attend a live webinar to learn how the entire family of AIA Interiors documents were updated to make them easier to understand, suitable for projects beyond commercial buildings and now allows the architect to provide a more cohesive design for a project."
