A1072007 is a stand-alone agreement with its own internal general conditions and is intended for use on construction projects of limited scope. It is intended for use on medium-to-large sized projects where payment is based on either a stipulated sum or the cost of the work plus a fee, with or without a guaranteed maximum price.
Parties using A1072007 will also use A107, Exhibit A, if using a cost-plus payment method. B1042007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Project of Limited Scope, coordinates with A1072007 and incorporates it by reference.
For more complex projects, parties should consider using one of the following other owner-contractor agreements: AIA Documents A1012007, A1022007 or A1032007. These agreements are written for a stipulated sum, cost of the work with a guaranteed maximum price, and cost of the work without a guaranteed maximum price, respectively. Each of them incorporates by reference A2012007, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction. For single family residential projects, or smaller and less complex commercial projects, parties may wish to consider A1052007, Agreement Between Owner and Contractor for a Residential or Small Commercial Project .
Note: AIA Documents are Non-Returnable
