Contractors know that documentation requirements are changing how a project is built, managed and passed off to the owner.  The demands for accurate construction documentation are rigorous and getting more so.  Even if the ownership group and specification overlooks the construction documentation – a sophisticated contractor cannot ignore that we live in a litigious culture and a builder/contractor are all to often the target.
