AIA is associated with which document type in the material?

• A. Supplemental Instructions
• B. Field Orders
• C. Specifications
• D. Addenda

Answer: (A)

When communicating changes and clarifications in AIA-based contract administration, the document type used to issue coordinated instructions after the contract documents have been issued is Supplemental Instructions. They are intended to interpret, clarify, or slightly modify the existing documents without forming a full change order, and they are treated as part of the contract documents. This makes them the typical AIA vehicle for field-level guidance and coordination. Field Orders are on-site directives that can change work but are more about immediate on-site direction. Specifications contain the technical requirements for materials and workmanship. Addenda are issued before bid to modify the contract documents for bidders.
