Contract Document to Use
B102–2007 (formerly B141–1997 Part 1), Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and
Architect without a Predefined Scope of Architect’s Services
AIA Document B102™–2007 replaces and serves the same purpose as AIA Document
B141™–1997 Part 1. AIA Document B102–2007 is a standard form of agreement between
owner and architect that contains terms and conditions and compensation details. B102–2007
does not include a scope of architect’s services, which must be inserted in Article 1 or
attached as an exhibit. The separation of the scope of services from the owner/architect
agreement allows users the freedom to append alternative scopes of services.

Architect’s Handbook
of Professional Practice
The Architect’s Handbook of Professional Practice (Handbook or HPP) is
the most comprehensive reference available about architecture practice.
Its breadth makes it a unique one-stop resource for licensed architects,
for professionals aspiring to be architects, and for those engaged in or
associated with the building design community. As the centerpiece
publication of the American Institute of Architects, the Handbook fulfills
the Institute’s goal to “Be the Authoritative Source: Be the recognized
leader for knowledge about the practice and profession of architecture.”
(2010–2015 AIA Strategic Plan, p. 4 plan approved December 2009).
