B509, Condominium Projects Guide

This guide serves two purposes: (1) it provides guidance regarding issues unique to Condominium construction, and (2) it provides model language that may be used to amend or supplement AIA Document B109™–2020, Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Architect for a Multi-Family Residential or Mixed Use Residential Project, to tailor it for use on Condominium Projects.

AIA Document B109–2020, provides the basic legal framework for the agreement between Owner and Architect. Because of the unique risks of Condominium construction, requirements of the Condominium developer (Owner), and variations in specific legal requirements from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, standard form agreements typically require modifications to adapt them to individual Projects. The modifications in this Guide are intended to foster cooperation and mitigate risks for all parties involved in the Condominium Project.
