DID YOU KNOW?
SCIP HOSTS THREE FORUMS ON Csinet

There are three forums officially hosted by SCIP on CSINet, all moderated by our new SCIP Affiliate Director, William Pegues. To make it easy for you to access them, the headings of each paragraph below are unique links that take you directly to that forum.

Specifications Discussion:
This area is a place to post and look for topics related to writing specifications – techniques, styles, formats. Discuss the coordination with consultants and the impact of requests for specific language, exceptions, and potential liability consequences.

Construction Practices Discussion:
The good, the bad, and the ugly sometimes happens to all of us. Look here for construction contract administration topics.

Products/Systems Discussion:
Have you found something new and interesting? Is there a product about which you are unfamiliar? Ask or relate your experiences with different systems and find out what practices are typical in different regions of the country.
