Each document has a number that identifies the series, type, delivery method, sequence, and edition. For example, the number A101-2007 identifies an owner-contractor agreement document (A series), for a design-bid-build project (1 delivery method), as the general conditions document (01 sequence), from the 2007 edition.

AIA Contract Document Numbering System


The American Institute of Architects provides the standard set of contracts, and associated documents, that
are used throughout the construction industry in the United States. These documents have been developed
over many years and many projects so they are widely accepted by architects, contractors, and owners. The
documents provide agreements for various sizes and types of projects, as well as a number of different
organizational structures between the various contracted parties. As the construction industry evolves, the
AIA modifies the documents or creates new documents as needed.

AIA Document Numbering System

There are five main components that make up the AIA document number. Understanding how the number is
put together will allow you to quickly identify or find a document. Each document has the following
components: Series, Type, Delivery Method, Sequence, and the edition.

A - Agreements between the Owner and the Contractor


B - Agreements between the Owner and the Architect
C - Other Agreements
D - Miscellaneous Forms and Documents

The AIA will sometimes group the documents by Family, which is a way of organizing them by the method of
delivery being used on the project.

3 - Construction Manager as Adviser (CMa) or Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc)
4 - Design-Build
5 - Interior Only
6 - International
7 - Program Management
8 - Reserved for future use

Document Sequence Number

The sequence is a single digit between 1 and 9, and is used to identify documents that are similar.

AIA Document Edition

The edition is a four digit number that represents the year in which the document was released or most
recently revised.
