## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Construction & Infrastructure](https://ailawframework.com/practice/construction-and-infrastructure.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Mark additions and deletions against the standard form named in the draft, clause by clause, as a comparison table. Do not rewrite the contract. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer reads both the form and the departures. There is no Australian Standards form in this exercise. On a federal commercial-item buy, FAR 52.212-4 is an example of a clause set that covers inspection and acceptance, written changes, and disputes under 41 U.S.C. chapter 71. It is not a construction general-conditions form. Payment-bond and prompt-pay overlays, where they apply, are 40 U.S.C. §§ 3131 and 3133 and 31 U.S.C. § 3903. Formal Opinion 512: check every generated comment that states what a form “usually” says. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Mark additions and deletions against the standard form named in the draft, clause by clause, as a comparison table. Do not rewrite the contract.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- AIA and ConsensusDocs texts are licensed forms. Compare the copy in the file. Do not quote a form from memory or from a generated paraphrase.
- A comment that a deletion is “market” is not a legal conclusion. Strike it unless the lawyer has a source.
