SCOPE OF WORKS & TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
DIVISION 1 GENERAL
SECTION 01100 INTRODUCTION
The Drawings and the Specifications are complementary to each other.
Drawings are graphic means of showing work to be done. They are
particularly suited to showing where materials are located. Thus, drawings
exist essentially to show dimension, location and placement. Not all works,
however, can be presented in the drawings. Generalized works are usually
in statement form and hence, the Contractor is required to read the
specifications carefully.
Specifications, on the other hand, are used to describe the materials,
construction techniques, samples, shop drawings, guarantees and other
contract requirements. Together, the drawings and the specifications are
used to inform the Contractor. In cases where the specified brand carries
with it the manufacturer's specifications, the manufacturer's specifications
shall hold precedence over these specifications.
The Specifications are of the abbreviated type and include incomplete
sentences. The selection of sentence structure depends on the underlying
principles of Specifications:
A. That the Technical Specifications are only one part of the Contract
Documents.
B. That the Contract is between the Owner and the General Contractor
and
C. That the General Contractor is the only party responsible for
completing the work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
Therefore:
A. Only the General Contractor is referred to in the Specifications so
as not to violate the intent of the Contract and so as not to
undermine the proper chain of command.
B. Any reference to Specialty Trade Contractors in the Technical
Specifications is made only in so far as selection of Specialty Trade
Contractors is made through bidding. Once the Specialty Trade
Contractors are selected and assigned to the General Contractor,
the General Contractor assumes all the responsibilities for the
execution of the whole project in accordance with the Contract
Documents. Therefore, in the contract between the Owner and the
Read and accepted as part of the Contract: Page

Bidder/Contractor
Specifications
General Contractor, the Specialty Trade Contractor is not referred to.
In all contract
Documents, the work "Contractor" means the General Contractor.
C. The omission of the phrase "The Contractors shall" is intentional
because the whole Specifications is directed to the Contractor.
Omitted words or phrases shall be supplied by inference in the same
manner as they are when a "note" occurs on the drawings.
D. Where "as shown," "as indicated," "as detailed" or words of similar
import are used, it shall be understood that reference to the
drawings accompanying the Specifications is made unless otherwise
stated.
E. Where "as directed," "as required," "as permitted," "as authorized,"
"as approved, “accepted" or words of similar import as used, it shall
be understood that the direction, requirements, permission,
authorization, approval or acceptance of the Architect is intended
unless otherwise stated.
F. As used herein, "provided" shall be understood to mean "provided
complete in place," that is, "furnished and installed”.
G. Most sentences are in the imperative mood. This style is specially
suited for instructions covering installation of products and
equipment.
Example:
"Spread adhesive using notched trowel"
"use a notched trowel"
"install flooring with textured side up"
The verb is the first word of the sentence clearly defining the action
to be performed. This style is readily understandable and concise.
DIVISION 2 SITEWORK

mix, fine sand, silt or clayey sand and gravel, shall be laboratory
