Project manual

The bound volume of bidding requirements, contract forms and technical specifications for a project.

A project manual collects the procurement and contracting requirements (Division 00), the general requirements (Division 01) and the technical sections, organized by MasterFormat. The drawings are issued separately.

On small projects, specifications are often printed on the drawing sheets instead of in a separate manual.

Why it matters to manufacturers

Your product lives in one technical section. Find it by section number, then read Part 2 for who is named and whether equals are allowed.
