Which description best defines the project?

• A. The project is the entire construction project, including work by owner and separate contractors.
• B. The project is the total construction of which the work performed under the contract documents may be the whole or a part, and may include work by the owner or separate contractors.
• C. The project includes only architectural services.
• D. The project is limited to interior spaces only.

Answer: (B)

The project is the total construction described by the contract documents, not just the portion a single contractor performs. The work under the contract documents may be the whole project or only part of it, and the project may include work by the owner or by separate contractors. This framing ensures that all construction activities, including owner-supplied work or work by others, are considered part of the same project and coordinated under the contract. It also clarifies that the project isn’t limited to architectural services or to interior spaces alone, but encompasses the broader construction effort as defined in the documents.
