Performance Specifications
The Performance Specification is a document that is intended to supplement the Drawings and Specifications. It details minimum
requirements for construction quality assurance.
It should be issued with every set of Construction Documents (including Mock Up Room sets) prepared by DiLeonardo
International.
The Performance Specification is divided into construction divisions and sections which follow the Construction Specification
Institute (CSI) standard numbering system. This allows our specifications to coordinate with most industry standard specs
produced by Architects, Engineers, and other Consultants.
Project Managers are responsible for identifying which specification sections apply to their jobs. Each specification section is
written generically and DOES NOT need to be edited for each individual project. Only these sections should be released to
clients.
Project Coordinators are responsible for compiling the sections for each job and filling in the project name and issue date prior to
printing. Performance Specification deliverables should be produced digitally (in pdf format) and in a double-sided hard copy (in
a 3-ring binder).
For more information, see documents Using the Performance Spec and Performance Spec Section List.

Construction Administration
Requests for Information (RFI)

Submitted by the General Contractor, Subcontractor, or Project Manager

Typically submitted on the GC or Project Manager's form, and we should respond using
the same form
Emailed questions can be informally responded to, but should be formalized through the
RFI process. This process should be set ahead of time with the external project team
Should be logged in Newforma
Can include SKs or Spec Revisions as attachments
DI should respond within 5 business days, but aim for 2 business days

Submittals

Include Shop Drawings, Samples, Cuttings for Approval, & Product Data
Submitted by the General Contractor, Subcontractor, or Product Rep
Should be logged in Newforma when recieved
Physical Samples and Cuttings for Approval should be photographed, with the photo
logged into Newforma
All Submittals should be stamped with a physical or virtual stamp after review
DI should respond to Shop Drawings within 5 business days, but aim for 2 business days
DI should respond to all other Submittals within 2 business days

Supplemental Instructions (SI)

Generated by DI to modify drawings or specs, and formalize the change for the external
project team
May be the result of an Owner request, Value Engineering, Correction of an Error, etc.
Can include SKs or Spec Revisions as attachments
Should be generated in Newforma and issued through Newforma

Generated in CAD to revise drawings

CAD templates exist in A3, A4, 8-1/2x11, and 11x17 formats
Use CAD files in the P drive CA folder
Create a CAD Sheet Set using SSM to manage the locations of each file
A PDF of each SK should be logged in Newforma, and related to either an RFI or SI
Can be generated as part of a Supplemental Instruction or an RFI response
Cannot be issued alone. Must be issued as an RFI Response or Supplemental Instruction

Generated in SpecSources as needed to revise Specs

Revised fields should be turned red within SpecSources
Can be generated as part of a Supplemental Instruction or an RFI response
Cannot be issued alone. Must be issued as an RFI Response or Suplemental Instruction
Attach a PDF of each revised Spec to the RFI or Supplemental Instruction

Sketches (SK)

Spec Revisions

Field Reports

Should be completed and issued each time DI visits a site, either for MUR or full
construction
Templates exist on the HIVE in both English and Chinese versions for Site Reports
Photos can be included to document conditions that need review or action.
Field reports should be issued to the owner or client after each site visit to record our
observations
Reminder: DI is not responsible for means and methods of construction. Field reports
should be straightforward and only comment on what is visible on site, and the
conformance with the design documents issued by DI
