Hello there,  
I came across this question on a practice exam:

“_During the excavation of a 1940s train station, the contractor discovers a tunnel system that was unmentioned in the contract documents. The contractor must notify the architect about the findin_g.”

_“How many days does the contractor have to provide notification to the architect according to document A201-2017?”_

The correct answer given on the exam is:  
_According to A201-2017 section 3.7.4, the contractor shall provide “prompt” notice to the owner and architect upon discovery of unknown or concealed conditions within 14 days after discovery._

and the reference: **A201-2017 3.7.4**

However, is it possible that the given answer is incorrect? AIA 201 -2017 3.7.4 notes: “…the Contractor shall promptly provide notice to Owner and the Architect before conditions are disturbed and in no event later than **21 days** after first observance of the conditions”

hey @jonathan - you’re looking at AIA A201-2007, not 2017.

I’d download a copy of each of the applicable AIA documents for the ARE and make sure you’re always using those - it’s easy to open the wrong one if you search for the docs online every time!

Yikes, thank you.  
I had the docs on a CD that came with AHPP, I should have double-checked. Now I need to go back and correct my notes.
