GENERAL NOTES TO SPECIFIER:
This specification section has been prepared to assist design professionals in the preparation
of project or office master specifications. It follows guidelines established by the Construction
Specifications Institute, and therefore may be used with most master specification systems with
minor editing.
Edit carefully to suit project requirements. Modify as necessary and delete items that are not
applicable. Verify that referenced section numbers and titles are correct. (Numbers and titles
referenced are based on Masterformat, 2004 edition).
