Which part of the CSI technical specification contains information on required submittals?

The first part of the CSI (Construction Specifications Institute) technical specifications is primarily focused on general requirements, which includes information on required submittals. This section outlines what documents, samples, and other forms of evidence the contractor must provide to the architect or owner before proceeding with the work specified in the contract. This is essential for ensuring that all materials and methods comply with the design intent and the specified standards.

Part 1 typically lays the groundwork for the project, detailing the administrative and procedural aspects necessary for effective communication and management of the project, including schedules for submittals, which is vital for maintaining the flow of information and ensuring compliance with design and regulatory requirements. This ensures accountability and a clear understanding between all parties involved in the construction process.
