Who we are

The Construction Contract Administration Knowledge Community (CCA) has been established to help our members better understand the issues, actions and resultant impact of the decisions required in this often neglected part of Project Delivery. It is our goal to provide clear answers to issues of concern to the Institute’s membership and share case studies and best practices. We further hope to provide guidance and direction in developing guidelines for new and evolving approaches to Project Delivery as well as guidance in the continuing education of our emerging young professionals.

     

How to connect

- Join to get occasional emails with new content and resources.
- Post on the discussion board to ask questions and share ideas.
- Read a CCA white paper - or contribute your own!
- Attend an upcoming event such as webinars and conferences.
- Provide feedback on what you'd like to see from your CCA community at cca@aia.org.

  • 1.  How do you track CA documentation

    Our company has multiple offices and is increasing the amount of Design Bid Build projects. Typically the Project Managers are responsible for tracking RFIs, submittals, field observation reports, etc. If you are an architect/PM in a similar environment, how do you keep a consistency in document control? Do you use one of the PM softwares? We are interested in an architect/PM friendly process.

    Our firm designs higher education research facilities that are typically constructed in a CM at Risk environment.  We maintain a log for RFI's, Submittals, Change Orders, and ASI's for internal use while at the same time communicating with the Owner/Client and the CMR through the CMR's elecronic project tracking system.  For example, one current project uses "Constructware".
