Specifications in the Project Life Cycle: Construction Documents

The Construction Documents Stage of the Project Life Cycle is concerned with the preparation of documents that will be used to obtain bid
prices or upon which a negotiated contract can be based.

These documents include

  • Geotechnical Data
  • Property Surveys
  • Procurement Documents
  • Construction Agreements
  • Conditions of the Contract
  • More Detailed Drawings
  • Civil, Structural and M-E-P designs
  • Designs of other disciplines
  • Full 3-Part Specifications

The 3-Part Specifications prepared in this phase are organized by MasterFormat for most types of Project Delivery Methods, but may be organized using UniFormat for Design-Build project delivery.

These specification sections are prepared using SectionFormat, hence the 3-Part terminology.
