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.

Following the debate surrounding the March 2010 article Why We No Longer ‘Stamp’ Shop Drawings at Leo A Daly , the AIA Construction Contract Administration Knowledge Community presented a webinar discussion of this controversial issue. Dale L. Munhall, the author of the article, discussed how to turn common misconceptions into innovation. As a counterpoint, Steven Shapiro, a construction manager and attorney, presented arguments for the more traditional approach to submittal review. Topics discussed on the purpose of submittals, the roles and responsibilities of contractors and architects, what the AIA contracts really say about the submittal process, risk management, common misconceptions about shop drawings, and what does it mean to “review” and “approve” submittals.
