ACCORDING TO KAPLAN: PUNCH LIST IS PREPARED BY THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR.
ACCORDING TO BALLAST: PUNCH LIST IS CREATED BY ARCHITECT.

ACCORDING TO BALLAST: SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS MAY ACCOMODATE: GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, LOCAL LAWS WHILE ON SOME OTHER NOTES, THIS APPLIES TO SPECIAL CONDITIONS.

AT THIS POINT I DONT KNOW WHICH ONE TO FOLLOW!!! IM READING FIRST BOTH BOOKS AND LATER EXPANDING ON THE AIA DOCUMENTS
ANY SUGGESTIONS?

[jennyh00]

According to AIA contract documents, the punch list is prepared by the contractor, and the architect can add to it after it has been prepared.

[Pauli]

THANKS, IS IT ON THE A-201? WHICH ARTICLE?

[jennyh00]

A201, 9.8.2

No prob!

[Pauli]

thanks, now i found it!!! what about my other question regarding conditions?

[Coach]

ACCORDING TO KAPLAN: PUNCH LIST IS PREPARED BY THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR.
ACCORDING TO BALLAST: PUNCH LIST IS CREATED BY ARCHITECT.

Per aia docs.

ACCORDING TO BALLAST: SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS MAY ACCOMODATE: GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, LOCAL LAWS WHILE ON SOME OTHER NOTES, THIS APPLIES TO SPECIAL CONDITIONS.

Supplementary conditions modify things already in A201, otherwise they are special conditions.

[Pauli]

thanks COach. Im trying to find examples that would apply to each of them: Supplementary vs special.

Insurance requirements are perhaps the most common supplemental item.

Things like union/non-union gates & work hours are special.

Again, it's really simple. If the topic exits in A201 and you need to modify/clarify/amend/enhance, the information goes in supplementary conditions.

Anything not already in A201 is a special condition.

Two other things to consider/remember:

1) A201 itself should never be edited.
2) There is no official aia document called "Special Conditions".

That makes it perfectly clear. Thank you for that explanation! I understood the difference, but now I ***REALLY*** understand the difference.

[Jaymor]

So where do the special conditions get noted?

[Coach]

So where do the special conditions get noted?

In a section you create.

[aree2015]

So, are supplementary and special conditions part of A201 or within 201 as separate sections?
