- Abstract
- This pamphlet has been prepared to facilitate the proper and expeditious execution of review work in he Tenant Construction Review Unit. It tries to achieve this by subdividing a job into trades and thus clarifying the possible scope of a project from functional and technical points of view. Detailed checklists based on Building Codes, prepared for each trade, cover the main area. of design and detailing that are expected to receive special attention. Finally, design, safety and field coordination criteria additional to Building Code requirements are listed under each trade. It is hoped that this pamphlet will create a degree of consistency in review work, and, will establish the basic minimum requirements which must be incorporated in the submitted plans and specifications. Although New York City laws are predominantly used as basis the check lists nay be used for any facility in conjunction with the local code.
