    Study Notes

    Construction Documents

    • Construction documents are more than just drawings; they also include specifications and schedules.
    • Drawings illustrate the spatial arrangement of building elements.
    • Specifications describe materials, quality, workmanship, and acceptance criteria.
    • Schedules provide detailed information about systems and elements like door and frame design, floor finishes, and electrical panel configuration.
    • Complementary documents are used to highlight interdisciplinary or multiple-trade design information.

    General Requirements

    • Construction documents must be clear and minimize the risk of misinterpretation.
    • The project delivery method influences the scope and substance of construction documents.
    • Stipulated price or lump-sum construction contracts require fully coordinated and complete information in construction documents for contractors to confidently commit to contract prices.
    • Construction management contracts typically involve the construction manager in pre-construction stages to provide advice and counsel to the design team regarding design feasibility and constructability.
    • Construction management teams contribute to managing construction documents, including defining the information required for various construction packages.

    Construction Management Strategies

    • Construction management can involve subdividing the project into work packages by construction trades, physically separate building parts, base-building and interior fit-up work, or a combination of these approaches.

    Design and Construction Interrelation

    • Design and construction are interrelated, and the planning of design work directly impacts the development of designs for construction contracts.

    Sequential Tendering

    • Construction documents are used to extract contract packages to be issued for procurement as work progresses.
    • In the context of fast-tracking, construction documents for early construction tasks like demolition, site preparation, and selective demolition are created.

    Final Construction Documents

    • The final set of construction documents must provide all necessary information to prepare bids, obtain permits, and plan and direct the sequence of construction work.

    Quality Assurance and Quality Control

    • The quality of construction documents directly impacts the client's satisfaction with the architect's services and affects the time and effort required of the architects in subsequent project phases.
