Division 01
The General Requirements division, which sets the rules for substitutions, product options and submittals.
Division 01 applies to every technical section in the project. For product reps, the key sections are 01 25 00 Substitution Procedures, 01 60 00 Product Requirements and 01 33 00 Submittal Procedures.
It sets the deadline for substitution requests, the paperwork required and who decides.
Why it matters to manufacturers
Read Division 01 before preparing any substitution. A request that misses its format or deadline is usually rejected unread.
