construction substitution definition
All manufacturers wish that their product or products are used on construction projects; otherwise, they would not be in the business. But, on the design side, not every product is suitable for a given project, nor is there sufficient fee to research every product that could potentially be used on a project.Convenienceâ refers to conditions that benefit the contractor, the owner, or both. If permitted, the contractor may submit a substitution request if there is a significant advantage, such as lower cost in labor, material, or both; quicker delivery time; or other benefit to the owner.
