This seminar takes an in-depth look how the contracts that architects use define their practice of architecture. A major role in this definition is played by the 1997 versions of the AIA documents. Presented by three experts in the field, this course begins the examination of what practicing architects need to understand about the documents in order to work with them effectively. This one day course focuses on the General Conditions contract, A201.
Participants can register to attend the three hour morning session or the full seven hours.
