LAYING OUT WORK Sample Clauses
The "Laying Out Work" clause defines the procedures and responsibilities for establishing the physical locations and dimensions of construction elements on a project site. It typically requires the contractor to accurately mark reference points, lines, and levels according to the project plans and specifications, often using surveying tools or benchmarks provided by the owner or architect. This clause ensures that all construction activities are based on precise measurements, minimizing errors and disputes related to the placement of structures, and ultimately helps maintain the integrity and alignment of the completed work.
LAYING OUT WORK. The CMR shall, upon entering the Project Site for the purpose of commencing the Work, locate all general reference points and take all such action as is necessary to prevent their destruction; lay out the Work, except where otherwise required by Contract Documents, and be responsible for all lines, elevations, measurements of buildings, grading, paving, utilities and other Work executed under the Contract. If benchmarks or other general reference points necessary for layout of the Work supplied by the Owner are impaired or destroyed by the CMR, the CMR shall be responsible at its cost to re-establish such bench marks or general reference points. The CMR shall exercise proper and reasonable care in verifying figures shown on the Drawings before laying out the Work and will be held responsible for any error resulting from its failure to exercise such care. The CMR shall establish permanent benchmarks referenced to finish floor lines. CMR shall employ a licensed surveyor who shall, after masonry corners have been set, certify on a drawing over its seal to the Owner that the building is located properly in relation to property lines and in accordance with the Drawings.

b. The Drawings are intended to show correctly existing and contiguous work, but neither the Architect nor the Owner guarantees that such work will be executed in exact accordance with the Drawings. The Contractor shall, therefore, examine and verify any work in place or furnished by others upon which his work is in any way dependent for its perfect efficiency according to the intent of the Contract Documents, and shall at once report to the Architect and Owner any error or discrepancy which may appear in the same, so that any such matter may be explained or adjusted before the work in question is undertaken.
