Today's post is a little preview of my CONSTRUCT 2012 presentation on Division 01.
Construction project participants are always a diverse group of people; some of whom have worked together in the past, others who are meeting for the first time. All the parties have somewhat different interests, duties and responsibilities, and all are riding together in a single Project vehicle on their way to the destination, the completed facility.
Expanding this allegory, the Project wagon rides on wheels of Construction Documents, as eloquently described in CSI's explanatory graphic.
Division 01 General Requirements occupies that critical space in the center of the Wheel, mediating between the General Conditions, Supplementary Conditions, Drawings and Specifications; describing the Administrative, Procedural and Temporary requirements of the Construction Documents.
We will discuss the various parts of the Construction Documents and Division 01, sharing tips and tricks to customize your General Requirements to suit your Project vehicle and destination.
Today's painting, "Flora's Malle-wagen", painted by the Dutch artist Hendrik Gerritsz. Pot in 1640 is a sardonic depiction of the Dutch tulip mania, where investors of all types speculated on the value of tulip bulbs, which attained astronomical values and eventually crashed, resulting in a financial depression. The wagon-load of revelers, with flowers in their hair, is headed straight into the ocean because no one is steering.
If your Division 01 has ever made you feel like this is happening to you, join us in session F03 on Friday morning for a tune-up. I will have more illustrations and stories as well. We'll have fun and learn a bit.
Best regards.
JG
