What information must the owner furnish as outlined in section 2.2.3?

• A. Surveys describing physical characteristics, legal limitations and utility locations for the site of the project, and a legal description of the site
• B. Financial statements of the owner and financier
• C. Copies of previous project contracts
• D. Insurance certificates for all subcontractors

Answer: (A)

The key concept here is what site information the owner must provide to the contractor. Under this section, the owner is required to furnish surveys describing the site’s physical characteristics, any legal restrictions or limitations, and the locations of utilities, along with a legal description of the site. Providing this data ensures the contractor can plan accurately, verify boundaries, anticipate constraints, coordinate with utilities and zoning, and align design with actual site conditions. It helps prevent clashes between the design and existing site features and sets a clear baseline for site data and risk allocation at the start of the project.

The other options aren’t required by this clause. Financial statements of the owner and financier, copies of previous project contracts, and insurance certificates for all subcontractors are not the information mandated by section 2.2.3; they relate to other aspects of project governance or other contract provisions.
