General conditions is a document incorporated into an agreement. An agreement defines general terms understood as rights and duties of parties, while general conditions are defining these rights and duties in much more detailed way. The document is usually divided into articles. Each of article is describing relevant subject of an agreement [1]. General conditions might be related to any kind of agreements and industries (architecture, engineering, constructions, banking, guarantees) [2].
General conditions in architecture, engineering and constructions
For projects related to architecture, engineering and constructions general conditions are among legal conditions and supplementary conditions documents which explains deeply differentiations in the contact. Usually there are used standardized documents published by American Institute of Architects (AIA) or Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC) [3].
