1. What section of a commercial building’s specification contains a list of contract
documents?

Answer: A list of the contract documents is contained in General Clauses and
Conditions. A listing of the Commercial Building contract documents is presented in
this chapter under the heading “Commercial Building Plans.” The instructor may wish
to have the students check over this listing and compare it with the plans provided.
2. The requirement for temporary light and power at the job site will be found in what
portion of a commercial building’s specification?

Answer: The Supplementary General Conditions specifies the job site requirements for

requirements in detail.
