here is the nationally accepted guide used by the construction industry to promote more uniform specification writing and inspection procedures. It features a series of technical checklists covering all the basic elements in a construction project and corresponding to the 16 divisions of the CSI Masterformat. A major feature of the book is the defining of roles and allocation of responsibilities among the architect, engineer, contractor, owner and inspector. Includes sample forms and discussions on project coordination and building codes. Eleven Appendices provide valuable supplementary information including a glossary and the metric conversions now required by the Federal government. The accompanying disk features the technical checklists.
