dbpprop:abstract
  • The Common Arrangement of Work Sections CAWS, first published in 1987, is a working convention designed to promote standardisation of, and detailed coordination between, bills of quantities and specifications. It is part of the industry wide Coordinated Projects Information (CPI) initiative and has been used for the arrangement of the national Building Specification, the National Engineering Specification and the Standard Method of Building Works - Seventh Edition. During the last ten years it has come into widespread use for the arrangement of building project documents. Developments in construction technology and feedback from usage have indicated that useful additions and amendments could be made. Most of the changes in this new edition are at a detailed level, but a number of new sections have been added, and a more detailed index has been included. The new edition aligns CAWS with the Unified Classification for the Construction Industry (Uniclass) which was published in 1997. The Common Arrangement is the the authoritative UK classification of work sections for building work, for use in arranging project specifications and bills of quantities. Over 300 work sections are defined in detail in order to give: good coordination between drawings, specifications and bills of quantities predictability of location of relevant information fewer oversights and discrepancies between documents flexibility to the contractor in dividing the project information into work packages. The classification of work sections is separate from, and complementary to, the classification of other concepts such as building types, elements, construction products and properties/characteristics. Uniclass, published in 1997, is the definitive overall classification tables, one of which is for work sections for buildings, comprising the Common Arrangement group, sub-group and work section headings. CAWS is produced and published by CPIC.
