DESIGN FOR CONSTRUCTION Sample Clauses

The "Design for Construction" clause establishes the requirements and standards for the design phase of a construction project. It typically outlines the responsibilities of the designer or contractor to ensure that all plans, drawings, and specifications are suitable for actual construction, comply with relevant codes, and are coordinated with other project elements. For example, it may require that designs are reviewed for constructability and that any discrepancies are resolved before work begins. The core function of this clause is to ensure that the design is practical, buildable, and minimizes the risk of errors or delays during the construction phase.
DESIGN FOR CONSTRUCTION. Where construction is contemplated by the Project Scope of Services Form, a Design for Construction shall be prepared in accordance with these provisions.
