Changes to the DSA Approved Construction Documents Clause Samples
The "Changes to the DSA Approved Construction Documents" clause governs the process for modifying construction documents that have already been approved by the Division of the State Architect (DSA). In practice, this clause outlines the steps required to propose, review, and implement changes, such as submitting revised plans or specifications for additional approval before any work deviates from the original documents. Its core function is to ensure that all modifications maintain compliance with regulatory standards and that the integrity of the approved design is preserved, thereby preventing unauthorized or unsafe alterations during construction.
