The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has launched ACD5, an online contract document service that offers access to more than 180 AIA Contract Documents forms and agreements. 


ACD5 enables users to instantly create, access, edit, share, and store contract documents. The new platform also offers upgraded document management features and more custom purchase options.
“As the evolution of the current AIA Contract Documents software platform, ACD5 is absolutely transformational for busy professionals who need instant access to their contracts,” says Deborah DeBernard, vice president and general manager of AIA Contract Documents. “With their contract documents always at their fingertips, ACD5 enables architects, contractors, building owners, and attorneys to be more flexible, efficient, and profitable.”
ACD5 is compatible with both Mac and PC platforms, and also offers simplified document collaboration, on- and offline editing, enhanced security and protection, new document-management tools, side-by-side comparison, and a template library, among other features.
Purchase options for ACD5 include the traditional single- and multi-user subscriptions, as well as new document bundles for architects and contractors, which provide unrestricted access to editable documents that are most frequently used in each discipline.
