Instructions for using this template: There are template files for each UNIFORMAT Level 2 Group Element. This template is for Group Element D20-PLUMBING. Text such as this is hidden text that will not print when the hidden text box in "Print/Options" is un-checked.
The Mechanical Team Member must edit this template for the requirements of the project. The SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS are intended to define items that are required throughout the facility or on a system wide basis that is common to several rooms. Room-specific requirements are defined in the ROOM REQUIREMENTS section. Coordinate with the lead programmer for ROOM REQUIREMENTS. Editing is required where brackets [ ] appear. Delete all building elements that are not required for the project. If additional elements or sub-elements are required for the project that do not appear in the template, refer to the NIST UNIFORMAT II publication for additional building element numbers and descriptions. The Uniformat II Work Breakdown Structure can be found at www.wbdg.org/ndbm/. Coordinate with the PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION SECTION D20 to ensure that performance requirements are provided for all of the Building Elements listed here and that paragraph numbering matches.
