CSI DISCUSSIONS OF THE WEEK
DESIGN PROFESSIONALS' SCOPES OF SERVICES
For the architects and engineers out there, and any owners who draft RFPs for professional services: What do you use as the source document for developing a new scope of services? In helping project teams within my employer, from across the country, I’ve seen a lot of different scopes of services. So, what is your usual starting point?

HARD DATA ON THE COST OF SPECIFICATION ERRORS
I’m working to put together a presentation to share with architects about the dangers of failing to take sufficient care in preparation of specification. I’d like to present some data and/or specific examples, but I’m having a hard time tracking down such data. Does anyone have specific examples they could share of costly errors which resulted from things like lack of coordination, failure to understand how to prepare or use Division 00 sections, or any other failures to understand how to prepare specifications—or does anyone know a source that might be helpful?
