The project directory is the page(s) listing all the consultants and contact information.

If so, redundant to also have in project manual? George A.

It is convenient to have broad general information contained in each set of documents. For example, I always put full tables of contents in each of the project manual volumes instead of just the contents for that volume. It answers the question "if not found here, then where?"

Clients that provide their own front ends often make it a stand alone Section. We also put a full TOC in each volume. We often have page sized signage schedules and detail sheets from a signage consultant that easily become a specification volume of their own. For those I include 10 14 00 - Signage both in DIV 10 and at the front of the schedule/detail volume for the convenience factor.

List of drawings in project manual, no! If you include a list of drawings in the project manual, do you also include a project manual table of contents on the drawings? George A.

I was referring to a project directory listing consultants,etc. Not to the Drawing List in the Project Manual. George A.

And if by "directory" you mean contact information for the team (Owner, consultants, architect, etc.,), we typically place that information on the cover sheet (drawings) and PM cover (Project Manual). Sometimes it's also listed in the Summary section. If that's not what you mean, than I'm confused. (not a usual state for me, but also not uncommon). George A.

State of MO? In that case you'd do it, but otherwise, no. George A.

I always thought it dumb because obviously you won't find those items in the PM. But, "what the Owner wants, the Owner gets" - to paraphrase from the song (sorry Lola) David Axt, AIA, CCS, CSI Senior Member Username: david_axt Post Number: 1191 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 18, 2011 - 01:16 pm:    Some architects are very against publishing a project directory in the project manual of names of the architect's consultants. These architects are very concerned that a contractor or subcontractor will go around the architect and contact an architectural consultant directly. I can see their concern but don't share their belief. I believe that the project directory is helpful for everyone as a reference to who is (was) working on the project. Steven Bruneel, AIA, CSI-CDT, LEED-AP Senior Member Username: redseca2 Post Number: 278 Registered: 12-2006 Posted on Wednesday, May 18, 2011 - 01:34 pm:    We spend most of our time on big projects with very long schedules. We are still closing out a hospital project with permit submittal drawings and specs dated December 2002. I find it incredibly important to embed as much peripheral project information (like the Project Directory) into the documents as possible. Loose hardcopies and project files on servers can and do go missing, or become very inscrutable if the entire team changes out over time. That said, per David's comment above, you need to carefully edit the information so that Joe the Plumber is not calling your IT manager on his private cell # at 6 AM. Jerome J.

You may want to suggest that to the MF Maintenance Task Team. Ron Geren, FCSI, AIA, CCS, CCCA, SCIP www.specsandcodes.com
