| Coordinating specifications with an owner’s Division 00 |
| Specifications |
| |
| Combining Divisions 01-49 specifications with a set of Division 00 documents with which they are not coordinated is akin to performing a head transplant. Failure to do the complex operation correctly can result in a set of construction documents that is like Frankenstein’s monster: unpredictable, uncontrollable, and dangerous to everyone. |

When a hailstorm and a tornado came to town on the same day, the University of Iowa’s Carver-Hawkeye Arena was confronted by a powerful competitor that damaged the 25-year-old PVC (vinyl) roof. Benchmark, Inc., was charged with designing and overseeing the installation of a durable, sustainable and long-lasting roof for the arena.

| In construction, change proposals and claims are written demands from one party to the other seeking an adjustment in contract price, contract times, or other relief under the contract. While many people tend to think of claims as assertions by contractors, in fact, both the owner and the contractor may assert a claim against the other party.

| SPECS REVIEW |
| In my short experience, it is a common practice during construction that CD drawings (REV0) get updates shown as REV 1,2,3... But I do not have seen updates of Specbooks as REV 1,2,3...Would someone explain me what´s the correct practice? Make Specbooks reviews, or not? |
