¶¡ÏãÔ°AV

Technical Requirements for Prime Consultants, Architects, Consulting Engineers and Construction Professionals

The ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Owner’s Technical  Requirements (OTR) are documented principles of designs and construction for working at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Burnaby Campus and provides a set of requirements organized in Master Format for Construction Professionals. The technical requirements are not intended to be prescriptive or hinder design creativity, but serves as a starting point to expedite ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV project delivery. The OTR is also not a design manual but does outline ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV's performance objectives, recommended practices that have worked at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV, sample front end documents plus steps to follow to navigate through a project at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV.

The service provider working with the OTR is expected to complete the following during the design process:

·&²Ô²ú²õ±è;&²Ô²ú²õ±è;&²Ô²ú²õ±è;&²Ô²ú²õ±è;     Download and read through the document pertaining to your approach
