SPEC SHORTS – Issue 25: Dec 18, 2024
Just when Professor V. thought the week was wrapping up nicely, BOOM, the hammer drops that a Project has been resurrected from last year, and guess what – This Project has been escalated to URGENT & TOP PRIORITY! Instead of agreeing to a reasonable timeline to reassemble the Design Team, a rash decision to rush the Tender is decided, at the Client’s request. Fast forward to witnessing Professor V. being looped in, at the same time as being provided the Tender Drawings and informed that the Specifications would be issued afterwards by Addendum. He wisely requests an extension of the Project’s Tender Date to ensure proper coordination between the Drawings and Specifications, and the PM agrees. The significance of thorough coordination before tendering must be balanced in the intricate realm of design and construction.
