About ACD

For more than a century, AIA Contract Documents (ACD) has supported architecture, engineering, and construction professionals by delivering a shared industry standard to align parties on a project.

What began in 1888 with the development of standardized construction contracts has evolved into a comprehensive suite of contract tools and foundational workflows that not only shape how the industry works today, but uniquely position ACD to help firms navigate construction’s growing complexity.

In a world driven by scale, fragmentation, and AI-generated decisions that prioritize speed over a clear understanding of risk, ACD serves as a trusted anchor, ensuring project participants can reduce disputes and negotiations, while achieving faster alignment and more predictable outcomes for the future.
