Washington, D.C. – March 22, 2011 - The American Institute of Architects (AIA) today announced that it has added 13 documents to AIA Documents-on-Demand™, bringing the total number of documents available through this service to 48. AIA Documents-on-Demand is a Web-based service that enables both PC and MAC users to easily access, and electronically fill out and print the latest AIA Contract Documents, anytime and anywhere with access to the Internet and a printer.
“AIA Documents-on-Demand continues to be the most popular, cost-effective service, offering those in the design and construction industry with user-friendly and 24/7 access to AIA Contract Documents,” said Young C. Chang, Director, Web-based Products. “We’re very excited to expand the number of documents through this service while also continuing to offer solutions and meet our users’ needs to ensure they save both time and money with our easy-to-complete electronic documents.”
These latest additions now make available the full selection of AIA scope of services documents through Documents-on-Demand.
