Construction Documents

6

Correlation Between Construction Documents and Specs • Sizes, quantities (implicitly) and configuration on drawings • Specification complement in writing the requirements • Coordination important and can be with numbers

7

8

Construction Drawings • Organized in a Logical way (e.g. by discipline) • Clear – no redundancy, omission and ambiguities • Everything on the drawing is within scope of contract • Exceptions shown using NIC (Not In Contract) • Architects review shop drawings, product data and samples for approval and compliance with design intent

Construction Specifications • CSI Masterformat • General • Materials • Execution

• The organization into divisions does not mean subcontractor division • Master Specifications • Text-based – reductive • Knowledge-based – additive

• Difficulty of maintaining a master spec therefore use of proprietary systems 15

Interpretation • More Specific prevail over more Generic • Handwritten provisions will prevail over typewritten over preprinted (individual and personal attention more likely reflects the author intent) • More recent drawings prevail (revision date) • Large scale prevails over smaller scale ..The contract documents are complementary and what is required by one shall be as binding as required by all….

The Architect will interpret all matters concerning performance…..

• (i.e. no clear precedence of document is generally set) 33

Document Coordination • Compliance with Code Requirements and Regulations • Compliance with Design Criteria • Quality Control • Cost Control • Ease of Construction • Labor and equipment requirements • Sequencing • Scheduling 34
