• Part B, to be prepared by the designer, includes amendments to Part A, schedules and other project specific requirements.
• Sold on a project-by-project basis, with a per-unit based price.
• Developer’s responsibility to engage suitably qualified designers to document the project specific requirements to support this reference specification and confirm that the requirements of this reference specification are suitable and appropriate to the project.
