This Guide outlines basic information and general requirements for Consultants and Contractors providing Design and/or Construction Services at SFU Burnaby Campus. The document is to be read in conjunction with other detailed requirements and specifications provided by Facilities from time to time, and will be linked to these documents as much as possible. Guidelines are not intended to override Construction Specifications or Construction Contract terms but are meant to inform Designers and Contractors that are unfamiliar with: • SFU’s Design and Construction practices and standard forms of Contract • Design and Construction approval processes • Building Standards unique to the Burnaby Campus The Guidelines will aid Departments/Users to avoid unnecessary delays, confusion and unplanned expenses, while protecting adjacent occupants from unnecessary noise, disruptions and inconvenience. The Guidelines should be read in conjunction with other standards and project specific information provided by Facilities Services (FS). In the event of any conflict between the Guidelines and more detailed specification section information relevant to individual Divisions, the conflicts should be raised with SFU’s Project Representative for clarification.
