INTRODUCTION

0.4   ACTION REQUIRED OF THE DESIGNER

This section outlines actions required of the Designer from project inception through to completion of the bid documents.

The Designer's role in the bidding, installation, commissioning, acceptance and occupancy stages is also important but is beyond the scope of this manual.

Bid Documents             Submit a complete and checked Bid Document package including the Specification and any
                                      necessary associated documents.

Rationale for Required Timing of Action

The rationale for early development of key sections of the Specification is as follows:

• The information contained, outlines how the work will be specified and provides a check that communication, understanding and agreement have been reached.
• The information is needed by those designing and specifying related sections of the project.
• It eliminates the need to separately communicate and record this information in reports, letters or minutes.
