Architect/Engineer
Submission for formal approval by Architect/Engineer to 2weeks

Main Contractor
It is this Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that each of his submission has been
properly prepared and thoroughly checked by himself and is in right and good order
for submission.
In the event that this Contractor‟s submissions are found to be sub- standard or
poorly presented and have hence been rejected three times by the
Architect/Engineer, then further submissions for Approval will have to be reviewed
by the Architect/Engineer at the cost of this Contractor. All costs incurred by the

details of builder‟s work required in connection with the Works of this Contract. In
cases where preliminary builder‟s work information has already been given on the
Contract Drawings, such information shall be Checked by this Contractor and
incorporated into his own drawings. It is the intention that all holes, chases, etc.
shall be set in the structural building works as the works progress and not cut out
subsequently, except in so far as may be necessary due to subsequently authorized
variations to the scheme. Prepare the Builder‟s Work Drawings in such order and at
such times as to enable them to be checked and approved and subsequently
issued well before the actual construction takes place.
