Performance-Based
If performance based specifications are used, bidders can submit any

-Vegetated berms
Conifers are effective at reducing the effects of winter winds, ut do little to
prevent sound transmission.
A project manager is preparing an estimate of the cost of work for a project that is
nearing completion of the schematic design phase.
Which of the following statements regarding the cost-of-work estimate are true?

-May be conducted by a cost estimator (instead of the architect) as an
additional service
-Must be revised with each design phase
-May include design contingencies
Contingencies for changes in the work are not included.

Wood Framing
Wood has a low coefficient of thermal expansion In addition, the
connections in wood framing are generally fleible enough to accomodate
any thermal movement that may occur. Concre is very susceptible to
cracking, especially during curing. Metal has a relatively high coeddicient
of thermal expansion. Also paving, gutters, and curtain walls are exposed
to the exterior, where , unlike wood framing they are subject to extreme
temperature vatiation.
