SPEC SHORTS – Issue 23: Dec 4, 2024
Almost another victory for the Evil “Copy/Paste” Twins, but not this time! Professor V., making his usual walk-n-talk throughout the office, reveals the Evil Twins’ secret plan. To entice an unsuspecting, overworked Design Professional into copying a TPO Section from a previous Project and pasting it into this Project. This minor time savings at the Issue for Tender Stage has just translated into hours of Contract Administration headache, while site issues continue to pile up. Why is this? Because the time wasn’t taken during the Design Stage to coordinate this Section with the Drawings or the remaining Specifications.
