007300 - SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS

 WHY?

Why would you need a Supplementary Conditions document? There are many topics in the standard General Conditions that design firms, Owners, or negotiated Contractors may want to modify or add for a project or as their standard practice. These can be done in a concise manner that is called the Supplementary Conditions. In this way, all the benefits of a standard set of documents may still be retained:

• Cost savings for bidding and administering the Contract because of familiarity.
• The individual Specification Sections and Drawings hinge upon provisions

006000 - PROJECT FORMS

AIA contracting forms and conditions of the contract are often standardized documents incorporated by reference into the Specifications.

 WHY?

• The standard AIA documents are proven and comprehensive. Everyone's risks are better known through familiarity, reducing many types of costs.
• Incorporating standard documents by reference is very abbreviated and yet can have the same legal effect as if they were printed in their entirety.
