GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR CIVIL STRUCTURAL AND ARCHITECTURAL WORKS 1.00.00 INTRODUCTION
The complete design, supply & construction of all Civil, Structural & Architectural works shall be performed conforming to the specification, Codes & Standards along with the criteria & specifications as stated herein after, which however, are not meant to provide a complete description of each & every system but state the minimum acceptable standards for the plant as a whole or certain individual components and the Bidder shall execute according to the complete requirements of the plant based on good engineering practice subject to the approval of Owner/Consultant. Technical specifications pertaining to construction of various items are included with this specification. If there any conflicts with regard to any stipulation between the sections, the requirements of section I shall prevail. Generally no deviations are acceptable in respect of design criteria and stipulation laid down in the specifications unless the Bidder can justify his suggestion as an improvement on specification.
