Author Description

Excerpt from Building Superintendence and Contracts: 85 Illustrations As stated before, the superintendent may spend all his time at the building or, on less important work, he may spend only a sufficient amount of time to properly inspect the work. A set of drawings to which the superintendent may refer at any time should always be kept at the building. On a large building, however, the contractor should be required to maintain an office, where the drawings shall be kept, and a table on which these drawings can be spread, in a good light, should also be provided. A telephone should be located in this office so that the superintendent, the clerk of the works or the architect himself may communicate with the architect 5 office or the offices of the various contractors connected with the work.
