| Using Technical Document Templates |
The following publication types are part of a technical document template suite that integrates building work with work practices and local practice information and resources:
Contract Work
These document templates describe building work and place reasonable limits on the compliance and workmanship expectations to better manage building work expectations.
Work Practices
These document templates describe the work practices required of Contract Administrators, Designers and Draftspeople, Estimators and Schedulers, Supervisors, Tradespeople and Suppliers for the as-built outcomes to be as described by the Contract Work documents.
Downloads are listed alphabetically under each type heading. Each title has a brief description and a link to an expanded summary. The full document template can be downloaded by clicking the link at the foot of the summary text.
