About the Webinar:

If you have continued to use the 2007 version of certain AIA contract documents that were updated in April 2017, your time is almost up. As of October 31, 2018, you will no longer be able to finalize these documents in the AIA software. Spend 60 minutes with us to learn about the key changes in the updated contract documents, which include the standard forms of agreement between owner and contractor and owner and architect, as well as the A201 General Conditions.  Now is the time … before it runs out.
