project. None of the ideas, designs, arrangements or plans shall be used by or
disclosed to any person, firm, or corporation for any purpose whatsoever without
the written permission of US Architects.
2. Contractors shall verify and be responsible for all dimensions and conditions on
the job. If a discrepancy should exist between a small scale drawing and an
enlarged drawing, enlarged drawing governs. Details govern over plans. Written
dimensions on these drawings shall have precedence over scale dimensions.
Architectural drawings govern over engineering drawings. If discrepancies exist,
request written clarification from the architect.
3. The contractor is responsible for checking all contract documents, field
conditions and dimensions for accuracy and coordination. If there are any questions
regarding these or other coordination questions, the contractor is responsible for
obtaining a clarification from the architect before proceeding with work.
4. As a warrantee, the contractor shall remedy any defects in the work and pay
for any damage to other work resulting therefrom, which shall appear within a
period of one year from the date of final payment.
5. Any damage to areas inside or outside of the project area caused by the
contractor shall be repaired to the status prior to construction at no cost to
owner.
6. All primary and subcontractors shall visit the site and familiarize themselves with
the existing building and site conditions, the proposed work and the location of
surrounding utilities, topography, plants and structures which may impact the
execution of this project.
7. All trades are responsible for installing their work to allow ceiling heights,
mechanical work, and light fixtures to be located as shown and for informing the
architect in advance if heights or locations can not be achieved. Proceeding with
non -coordinated work is with the understanding that any costs for corrective
modifications will be the responsibility of the contractor. Trade priority shall be as
follows unless directed otherwise by the architect:
a. Structure
b. Electrical lighting fixtures
c. Mechanical grilles and diffusers
d. Mechanical ductwork
e. Piping systems (including fire suppression)

12. It is the contractor's responsibility to keep the construction site neat and clear
of excess debris as well as maintaining the adjacent public roads access the site
clear of mud and construction materials.
13. Neither the final payment nor any provision in the contract documents nor
partial or entire occupancy of the premises by the owner shall constitute an
acceptance of work not done in accordance with the contract documents.

Obtain the architect's specific approval prior to deviating from the drawings. Follow
the best trade and engineering practices for the items not specifically detailed and
indicated.
17. All changes or deviations from the contract, including those for extra or
additional work, must be submitted in writing for an approval of the architect. No
verbal orders will be recognized.
18. These general specifications have not been composed for a specific project,

applicable to this specific project.
19. These notes and the drawings may refer to participants in this building project
which may not correspond precisely with the terminology set forth in the contracts
between the various participants in this project; therefore owner, leasor, developer

refers to the same party unless otherwise specified; architect, designer, interior
designer, or engineer refers to the some party unless otherwise specified.

manuals for all equipment and systems in the project. This will be collected and
organized into a binder and includes, but is not limited to: warranties, instructions,
maintenance programs, and operational data for mechanical/ electrical/ plumbing
equipment, installed equipment, elevators, roofing systems, etc.
ARCHITECTURAL
1. All dimensions are to the face of stud, structural center lines, or to face of
masonry or concrete, unless noted otherwise.
2. Do not scale the drawings. If there are any coordination questions or
dimensional discrepancies, the contractor is responsible for obtaining a clarification
from the architect prior to proceeding.
3. Verify all critical dimensions relating to the existing structure; existing
dimensions were determined by visual survey and existing drawings.
4. Dimensions and walls relating to existing steel columns are of highest
importance; new walls are to be laid out from columns outward to ensure correct
column placement within thickness of partitions
5. Architectural dimensions take precedence over engineering drawings for electrical
device location. If a conflict arises between the architectural and engineering
drawings immediately consult the architect
6. "Align" as used in these documents shall mean to accurately locate faces in
the same plane.
7. All stud walls to have type -x 5/8" mold resistant drywall and full batt

not fully represented in these drawings, and the general contractor is
to notify the architect if such conditions conflict with new work to be
done.
