Abstract:
If not clearly stated in contract documents, an interpretation of formwork requirements may become an issue on a project. For example, if the specification calls for the largest practical size of plywood, a reasonable contractor interpretation would be 4 x 8 ft (1.2 x 2.4 m) size because 5 x 10 ft (1.5 x 3.0 m) is often special order where delivery can delay the project; however, the architect may think otherwise.
