Dear CSC Vancouver,

You are invited to join us for an informative session on quality architectural woodwork, taking place on THURSDAY, January 16th, from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM at the Exchange Hotel in Vancouver.

Topic: Quality Architectural Woodwork for Architects - Drawing and Specification Requirements

Presented by: Glenda Harskamp, AWMAC with George McCutcheon, AWMAC GIS Certified Inspector

This session will provide an overview of quality standards for architectural woodwork as defined by the North American Architectural Woodwork Standards (NAAWS) manual and how to effectively apply these standards in your drawings and specifications.

The session will touch on items that Architects will want to include in their specifications and note on their drawings including the changed plastic laminate reference standard, temperature and humidity requirements, anchorage to walls, blocking in walls, limitations to sizes of door and cabinets, and construction tolerances covered by NAAWS.

· Guidance on verifying that finished woodwork installation meets specification requirements.

· Basic information for inclusion in drawings to ensure a level playing field for bidders.
