what is express warranties
written into the contracts, deal with workmanship and instilations
28
what is inplied warrinties
deals withe products and equipment installed in the new facility
29

conceptual and preliminary and detailed
37
what are conceptual estimates

38
what are preliminary estimates
used when you have a preliminary set of drawings with overall dimensions. should never be used to commit a contract price
39
what are detailed estimates
used when youhave a complete set of plans and specs. counts everything but takes time and skill

what are most General conditions a factor of
time
44

``` owner arch primary engineer PM and staff public officials ```
54
what is the purpose of the pre construction meeting
to establish the rules that are to be followed and to clarify the lines of authority and communication
55
what is discussed at the pre construction meeting
``` site logistics coordination issues like RFIs and shop drawings schedule issues payment process change order process dispute resolution completion resolution ```
56
