The building materials list is a fundamental part of a complete building planset. Materials suppliers need it for the basis of their supply list. Builders need it for their preliminary estimates. Plans examiners/ building officials need it to verify that the intended materials specifications
comply with building code requirements. Certain items in the lists will require substitution, such as wood species and their regional differences. Your final list may be completed with substitutions and they may reflect modifications for your project. The basic materials list, as part of the planset, can save time and expense. |
