A buggy system with terrible customer service

The customer service for AIA documents has been bad since I first had to start using the program eight years ago. The updated Catina version is not intuitive, and the service is still abysmal. The AI is a joke, when you finally get turfed to a human no human shows up, and then you have to call and spend hours on the phone. At a minimum AIA needs to stop telling customers that it values their time. It does not.

A "go-to" resource.

I use the AIA contract documents as a framework for all of my commercial projects. It provides a great checklist and backbone for all of my contract needs. Grateful to have it as a resource.

Antwoord van AIA Contract Documents (ACD)

Thank you for the kind words, and for making the documents part of how you run every commercial project. Hearing that they serve as a checklist and a backbone for your contract needs is exactly what we hope for, since that structure is what keeps a project moving and everyone clear on their role. We are grateful to have you as a customer.

Great Contracts Packaged Badly

AIA Contract Documents are an extremely valuable professional resource. But since AIA’s intellectual property was licensed to an outside entity the expense of using the documents has increased dramatically while IMO the value of the service has declined.

The current subscription model and digital interface are expensive and a bit Kafkaesque, seemingly designed to extract maximum expenditure from customers while requiring minimal investment in the user experience. What was once a relatively straightforward resource is now cumbersome, frustrating, and disproportionately costly to use. Contractors and owners have an especially difficult time with it.

Perhaps this is simply business. But it is particularly disappointing because AIA Contracts used to feel like a resource provided by the AIA for the benefit of the profession. The underlying documents remain valuable but the increasingly expensive commercial apparatus surrounding access to them does not.

Most frustratingly, I have seen very little discernible added value to justify the substantial increase in cost and complexity.

EDIT: Had to downgrade to one star due to the fact that their customer service line still (for years) auto-hangs-up on all single use technical support calls and has a voicemail saying that the customer service is closed during all business hours.

Also immediately after writing this review I was called over and over by a sales rep attempting to land an annual subscription.

Antwoord van AIA Contract Documents (ACD)

Hello Sarah, thank you for flagging this, and we're sorry the setup screen is costing you more clicks than it should.

After reading your review, our support team tested the Configure screen. They were able to enter every field and carry it through to the draft as expected, so we have not been able to reproduce what you are seeing. That tells us something specific to your workflow or setup is getting in the way, and we want to find it.

We do not have a support ticket from you on file, so we have nothing to troubleshoot from yet. Please open one at help.aiacontracts.com and include what you are setting up, the steps you take, what the screen shows, and a screenshot if you can. That gives our team enough to reproduce the issue and either fix it or show you a faster path.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@aiacontracts.com or over the phone at +1 800-942-7732. Our phone lines are open Monday-Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM EST.

If a live walkthrough would help, we are glad to get you into a training session as well. Thank you for using AIA Contract Documents, and for telling us where we can make improvements.

Drew Gerken and Zach Hawkins helped us out with our contract. They went above and beyond and got us exactly what we needed, when we needed it, and locked us in on a solid subscription. Its important to have employees that care about the company and what they do - thats how companies are successful. They definitely check those boxes and are awesome to work with. IF you need help - i would ask for both of them!

Solid product, great support

I've used AIA Contract Documents for design and construction agreements for over a decade. The forms are well-recognized in the industry and easily customizable to fit project needs. The platform makes it easy to generate and finalize documents, which allows for streamlined contracting processes.

AIA also provides prompt and effective customer service. When program updates impacted workflows, the AIA team was quick to engage, receptive to our concerns, and proactive about ensuring continuity while issues were resolved. They're easy to reach and consistently prompt in their responses.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review, Hillary, and for a decade of trust in our AIA documents. We are glad the forms and the platform keep your contracting streamlined, and it means a lot to hear our team came through when program updates affected your workflows. Responsive support through those transitions is exactly what we aim for, and we appreciate you being part of it.

Contracts are fine; Software Sucks

The contracts are well written. The Platform for editing them is TERRIBLE. Can't tell you how many times I've had to redo contracts because of how buggy their software is. If you have other options, explore those first.

Antwoord van AIA Contract Documents (ACD)

Hi J, thanks for the honest feedback, and for the kind words about the contracts. I'm sorry the editing side has been so frustrating. Having to redo work because of bugs is exactly what shouldn't be happening, and we hear you. The good news is we've got several releases coming to the software over the next couple of months, and a lot of it is aimed right at making the editing experience better. We'd really value your take as they roll out. Once you've had a chance to try the new features, we'd love to know what you think. Just send your thoughts to support@aiacontracts.com. Thanks for giving us the chance to make this right.

I very much like and appreciate ACD5

I very much like and appreciate being able to use the ACD5 platform. I do NOT like the Catina platform. When we were forced to use it, I found it to be very user unfriendly, difficult and cumbersome. I will not be a subscriber if we are ever forced to use the Catina platform again.
The only thing I totally don't like about ACD5 is the "Period To" and "Date" fields being automatically populated when creating G702-1992 Application and Certificate for Payment. I find it difficult to get around the automatically populated dates and insert the correct dates. What would be really helpful is the system being able to remember the "My Commission expires:" date. It's quite cumbersome to get to the correct date for this field. Otherwise, I love ACD5.

Hi KdWatson, Thank you for the reply here, and we understand that the initial launch of Catina in 2023 didn't meet everyone's needs. Since, we've made significant enhancements to it, and are in the process of launching another set of enhancement later this month. These are all based on our users feedback as to how to make Catina the best possible tool it can be! We'd love for you to give it another try and provide our support team (support@aiacontracts.com) your feedback.

Eric Corvinelli was an excellent source of assistance to purchase our membership. As a small business, he assisted us with pricing that matched our company profile. He also kept us updated with the purchase process and activation of our account. I would highly recommend AIA and Eric to any general contractor, small or large.

Thank you for flagging this, Philip, and we are sorry the support fell short of what you needed. The "DRAFT" background you are describing should be resolvable, and we want to get you a clear answer rather than leave you stuck. Please email us at info@aiacontracts.com with your document details, and we will make sure someone follows up and walks you through removing it.
