legalcode-us-aia-construction-contract-review

Review US construction contracts with emphasis on AIA standard forms (A101, A102, A133, A201 General Conditions, A401 Subcontract) and US owner-contractor risk allocation. Covers scope of work and contract sum mechanics, change orders and constructive changes, schedule and delay risk, retainage and payment applications, liquidated damages, insurance and performance/payment bonds, indemnification and anti-indemnity statutes, mechanic's lien exposure, substantial and final completion, and dispute forum strategy under AIA Article 15. Use when reviewing AIA prime contracts, subcontracts, ConsensusDocs, or owner-modified AIA forms on US commercial, institutional, healthcare, or public construction projects. Flags deviations from AIA standard, classifies risk (GREEN/YELLOW/RED), generates redlines with AIA fallback language, and produces a confidence-scored, auditable analysis. Also applies to CM-at-Risk (A133) and Design-Build delivery variants. Supports both owner-side and contractor-side review.
