 Middle Atlantic REGION scip mEETING
October 8, 2009
 

A Specifiers Forum hosted by SCIP was held at on October 8, 2009 in conjunction with the 2009 Middle Atlantic Region Conference in Charlottesville, VA. In a departure from previous conferences, the forum was held prior to the start of the conference instead of at the end.

The meeting was moderated by David Lorenzini, Vice President of SCIP. Those in attendance discussed various topics of interest to specifiers, including the new CSI Construction Information Award (EICI), RFIs, project specific websites, and a recent thread on the CSI Specifications Discussion Forum regarding Specifications and Responsibility. the original question of which was: "Is it a violation of your state practice act (Architect/Engineer) to have project specifications prepared by others outside your office?"

These forums are open to all specifiers, and they are a good opportunity to discuss issues that are common to SCIP members as well as non-members, especially those who were not able to attend the SCIP Annual Meeting at the CSI Show/Convention.
