A New Era for AIA Contract Documents and What It Means for Small Firms

A new era for AIA Contract Documents is reshaping how small firms manage risk, clarity, and collaboration. In this episode of EntreArchitect, Mark R. LePage talks with Nick Macey, CEO of AIA Contract Documents, about what this shift really means for practice today. Together, they explore why contracts matter more than ever in an increasingly complex design and construction landscape.

Nick shares how AIA Contract Documents has evolved from static PDFs to smarter, digital tools. He explains how clear agreements support better relationships, fewer disputes, and stronger project outcomes. Along the way, the conversation highlights why small firms often feel the pain of poor contract processes first.

The discussion looks ahead to the future of contract intelligence. Nick explains how AI and data-informed tools can make contracts more accessible and less intimidating. As a result, architects can spend less time managing risk and more time designing with confidence.
