PROPOSED SHOWROOM FIT-OUT MCKINLEY WEST FORT BONIFACIO, TAGUIG DIVISION 1 – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS OCTOBER 2018 SECTION 01 10 00 SUMMARY 1.1 SCOPE OF WORK The work specified herein is for the completion of the proposed Proposed Albany Showroom Fit-Out located in Mckinley West Fort Bonifacio, Taguig. 1.2 PROJECT INFORMATION A. The drawings and specifications are complementary to each other. Drawings are graphic means of showing work to be done. They are particularly suited to show where materials are located. Thus, drawings exist essentially to show dimension, location and placement. Not all works however can be presented in the drawings. Generalized works are usually in statement form hence the Contractor is required to read the specifications carefully. Specifications on the other hand are used to describe the materials, construction techniques, samples, shop drawings, guarantees and other contract requirements. Together the drawings and specifications are used to inform the Contractor. B. Omissions from the drawings or specifications or the misdescription of details of work which are manifestly necessary to carry out the intent of the drawings and specifications, or which are customarily performed, shall not relieve the Contractor from performing such omitted or misdescribed details of the work but they shall be performed as if fully and correctly set forth and described in the drawings and specifications. C. The Contractor shall check all drawings, furnished him immediately upon their receipt and shall promptly notify the Architect of any discrepancies. Dimensions marked on the drawings shall be followed in preference to scale measurements. Large scale drawings and shall govern small scale drawings. The Contractor shall compare all drawings and verify the figures before laying out the work and will be responsible for any errors which might have been avoided thereby. D. All drawings issued for construction to General Contractor/s, Sub-Contractors shall be furnished solely by the Architect through the Project Manager. E. Physical Data: The physical conditions indicated on the drawings and in the specifications are the results of site investigations by surveys conducted. However, it is expressly understood that the Architect will not be responsible for any interpretation or conclusion drawn there from. 1.3 LANGUAGE OF THE SPECIFICATIONS A. The Specifications are of the abbreviated type and many include incomplete sentences. The selection of structure depends on the underlying principles of specifications: • • • That the Technical Specifications are only one part of the Contract Documents; That the Contract is between the Owner and the General Contractor; and That the General Contractor is the only party responsible for completing the work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

Therefore, only the General Contractor is referred to in the specifications so as not to violate the intent of the Contract and so as not to undermine the proper chain of command. C. Any reference to Specialty Trade Contractor in the technical specifications is made only in so far as to selection. The General Contractor assumes all responsibilities for the execution of the whole project in accordance with the Contract Documents. The word “Contractor” is meant the General Contractor. D.

F. Where “as directed,” “as required,” “as permitted,” “as authorized,” “as approved,” “as accepted” or words of similar import are used, it shall be understood that the direction, requirement, permission, authorization, approval or acceptance of the Architect is intended, unless otherwise specified. G. As used herein, “provided” shall be understood to mean “provided complete in place” that is, “furnished and installed.” H. Most sentences are in the imperative mood.
