1. Well researched
2. Well discussed and reviewed by many differing bodies in construction industry.
3. Legally reviewed and deemed fiar and sound
4. Complete and consistent
5. Saves time and worry about writing contracts [something design professioals should NOT be doing anyway].
6. Interrelated to the other standrd documents-- general conditions, etc.
7. Comprehsnive/all-inclusive
8. In use for long period of time-- time tested
9. Good added service for clients |

The following are the advantages:
1 Standard Contract Documents are produced with the consensus of
many parties involved in the construction industry.
2 Contractors are more confident to bid on a project that uses a standard
contract document as they are more familiar with it.
3 Standard Contract Documents are flexible and can be easily modified to
accommodate your needs.
4 Standard Contract Documents are regularly revised to accommodate
changes in the construction industry.
5 Standard Contract Documents uses less legal jargon so that they are
more comprehensible to the laypersons.
