AIA Document B111™–2022 is a standard form of agreement between Owner and Design Architect intended for use in situations where a Design Architect will perform services to establish the design intent of a project. B111–2022 assumes that the Owner will retain an architect of record to further develop the design intent and to sign and seal the construction documents. B111-2022 also assumes that the Owner will retain third parties to provide cost estimates and project schedules. B111-2022 is part of the following set of documents that are intended for projects involving a Design Architect and an Architect of Record:
B111™-2022, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Design Architect
B111™-2022, Exhibit A, Design Architect Services
B112™-2022, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect of Record
B112™-2022, Exhibit A, Architect of Record Services
B511™-2022, Guide for Projects Involving a Design Architect and Architect of Record
E205™-2022, Architects’ Scope and Responsibility Matrix
B111-2022 does not contain a full scope of services and must be paired with E205-2022 or B111-2022, Exhibit A to form a complete contract. E205-2022 should be used in situations where the architects will provide services concurrently, i.e. where the architects work collaboratively and there is some degree of layering of the architects’ services. Alternatively, B111-2022, Exhibit A should be used in situations where the architects perform their services consecutively and there is a hard transfer of responsibility between the Design Architect and Architect of Record at a predetermined milestone. Refer to AIA Document B511-2022, Guide for Projects Involving a Design Architect and Architect of Record for more information.
When to use this document?
- As a stand-alone agreement
