The goal behind the OAA Contract Suite is to make it easier for Architects and Licensed Technologists OAA, along with their subconsultants and clients, to enter into fair, balanced business relationships. Building on the legacy of previous editions, these new versions were revised for compatibility with CCDC 2-2020 and to respond to evolving best practices. 

Visit the OAA’s Documents and Publications Portal to download the latest contract forms and corresponding Guides for a project, including:

• OAA 600-2021 (long-form contract between an OAA member and a client);
• OAA 800-2021 (short-form contract for use on less-complex projects); and
• OAA 900-2021 (standard subcontract between an OAA member and subconsultant, intended for use with a prime client contract like OAA 600 or OAA 800).

During the spring, the OAA’s Practice Advisory Services will host Continuing Education webinars for members about the new contracts.
