Subcontract Agreement with AIA (or equivalent) Form

Posted By bigmike0601 over 8 years ago

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this software. I'm a GC and have a job created that require 3 subs doing work and i'm performing a small amount of work as well. I've got two of the subs in the system with their price, thats it so far. I want to issue them a subcontractor agreement on AIA paperwork so they'll sign and start ordering materials. How do I do this? When I go to subcontractor agreement there is no AIA documents there. Please help.

When you say you've got two of the subs in the system with their pricing, is that in the 'Subcontract' module (6-7-1), or where specifically do you have them entered with their pricing? You would then have to create/add a subcontract agreement form and/or report to use in the 6-7-2 screen, after you've created the actual subcontract in 6-7-1.

Can I buy ready to use forms from somewhere that I can load into sage to make this easier? I realize AIA is copy protected, but surely there are similar forms out there that arn't. Where can I find an A401 form that is ready to go in sage and then how do I upload it there?

I believe you have to buy the forms directly from the AIA organization...you'd still need to design the "fill in the blanks" in S100 form design.

Really, wow, i'm kinda stumped on this one. We do government contracting and use many different AIA forms. Surely, there must be a 3rd party out there selling all the AIA 'type' forms that integrate with and print from sage on plain white paper. Is this a totally foreign idea? Am I missing something here?

Yeah, I hear ya! The AIA is a professional organization that sells their copyrighted forms (and software) to make a profit. So this prevents software such as Sage from integrating the forms into their software without penalties. As I mentioned before a custom form design that would "fill in the blanks" could be designed for you to use in Sage 100 (you'd need to purchase the blank forms from the AIA).

Progress Billing 3-7-51, 52, 56, & 57 all print to AIA forms. So the forms are already integrated into the software. I think we need a better answer to the question: why doesn't Sage provide AIA forms for Subcontracts?
