About the Joint Committee
Did you know that the first committee of the MBA was the MBA Architects Committee?
This committee was established in 1886 and its membership was all contractors.
About the Joint Committee
Chartered in 1965, the AIA-MBA Joint Committee provides a unique forum for Architects, General Contractors and Owners to meet and discuss existing conditions of the construction industry.
As a result of this forum, a set of guidelines was created to reflect the best practices for procedures involving drawings and specifications, bidding, contract documents and administrative procedures during construction.
