In addition, AIA Document A201–2017 is incorporated by reference into the Owner-Architect and Contractor-Subcontractor agreements in the A201 family of documents, thus establishing a common basis for the primary and secondary relationships on the typical medium to large size or complex (involving fast-track scheduling or multiple bid packages) construction project.

For smaller or less complex construction projects, document users should consider using AIA Document A104™–2017, Agreement Between Owner and Contractor for a Project of Limited Scope. For single-family residential projects, or even smaller and less complex commercial projects, users may wish to consider AIA Document A105™–2017, Agreement Between Owner and Contractor for a Residential or Small Commercial Project.

It sets forth the responsibilities of both parties and lists their respective obligations, which are written to parallel AIA Document A201®–2017, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, which A401–2017 incorporates by reference.

The type and amount of bonding shall be established on AIA Document A312TM, Payment Bond and Performance Bond. Additionally, Information from AIA Document G612™-2017, Owner’s Instructions to the Architect, Part B: Bidding Procedures should be used to complete A701.
