build smart.

Catina is a digital platform company that decreases risk and increases efficiency in the building industry. Through our partnership with The American Institute of Architects, as well as proprietary technology, we power AIA Contract Documents and other innovations that enable architects, contractors, building owners and others to build smart.

AIA Contract Documents

when building with decreased risk and increased efficiency, everyone wins.

That’s why architects, contractors and building owners have trusted AIA Contract Documents for more than 125 years. That’s also why our contracts and forms are taught in leading universities and insurance companies offer discounted rates to those who use them.

We have a heritage of looking around the corner to find new and smarter ways to build. After drafting America’s first standard owner-architect agreement in 1917, we have continually revised our documents to account for emerging trends in the construction and legal fields.

Since 1976, we have done so in conjunction with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) based on the input of independent industry experts.

Companies that trust us

"Even though we were developing a small project by anyone's standards, we had little room for error due to the involvement of multiple stakeholders. We wanted to ensure our contract had provisions for management of problems to allow us to administer our project successfully, and avoid second guessing from our constituents."

Lane Beougher, AIA, FCSI, Assoc. DBIA, LEED AP BD+C

Program Services Manager for Ohio Facilities Construction Commission

"I always recommend using an AIA Contract. It itemizes the complete scope of work, materials, & installation costs… that’s why the AIA Contract is brilliant, because it really protects you."

"AIA is a leader in standard pre-fab contracts for the industry. We use their contracts now, and have for a long time. They do a good job. I'm favorable towards them. This is a good service for the industry. It is cost-effective and enables expediting."
