I see that ANSI / AWI 0641-2019, Architectural Wood Casework Standard was released earlier this year. ANSI / AWI 0641 took effect June 1, 2020, and succeeds, replaces, and supplants Section 10 of the Architectural Woodwork Standards, Edition 2 (2014) as the most current version of the AWI Standards for architectural wood casework.
Is anyone familiar with this new standard. I have not seen it myself. I have not seen much published about AWS vs NAAWS since 2016-2017. There was a previous thread about this and the NAAWS.
Is the AWI - AWS primarily being used in the mid-west and east and the NAAWS in the west and west coast? Or is the use of these stds. not region based?
Would be interested in learning more about the regional differences of AWI vs WI and if anyone has worked with the new ANSI/AWI standard.
I contacted a couple of millwork fabricators in my area (Michigan) yesterday and they work to AWI stds and felt that most of the local architects did so also. Although they were not very familiar with NAAWS, they felt hat it was quite similar. They had not explored the latest AWI std which was released in June, 2020. |
