Division One Concept
•
Organizing Division One Within the Project Manual (FF/100.7 and FF/GR-3).
– Close coordination of Division One provisions at an early stage in the
production of the Contract Documents is necessary to avoid conflicts,
duplications and omissions within the Project manual. Coordination should
include:
» Distributing a draft of Division One to all Specification contributors for their
review;
» Noting overlapping requirements, omissions and conflicts and resolving issues
within all Documents;
» Determining which requirements should be listed in Division One and
coordinated with other Sections.
