AIA - A141 Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner Design Builders

Customer Service

PLEASE NOTE: This is a physical copy of the contract, not a download.

A141 replaces A191 and consists of the Agreement and three exhibits, Exhibit A, Terms and Conditions, Exhibit B, Determination of the Cost of the Work, and Exhibit C, Insurance and Bonds.

Exhibit B is not applicable if the parties select to use a Stipulated Sum. A141 obligates the Design-Builder to execute fully the Work required by the Design-Build Documents, which include A141 with its attached exhibits, the project criteria and the design-builder's proposal, including any revisions to those documents accepted by the owner, supplementary and other conditions, addenda and modifications.

The Agreement requires the parties to select the payment type from three choices: (1) Stipulated Sum, (2) Cost of the Work Plus Design-Builder's Fee, and (3) Cost of the Work Plus Design-Builder's Fee with a Guaranteed Maximum Price. A141 with its attached exhibits forms the nucleus of the Design-Build Contract. Because A141 includes its own Terms and Conditions, it does not use A201.
