Special Construction - 13 00 00

General Info & Product Research

Special Construction deals with specialty subsystems. Items usually associated with this division can range from air-supported and pre-engineered structures to darkrooms.

The procedure for estimating this division starts with reading and reviewing the specifications. Usually if a Special Construction item is required, there will be some text about it in the specifications. The plans, as well as any other related construction document, should be thoroughly studied when Special Construction items are involved because they can contain important information....

Metal Buildings by Neil Smit
Tom, age 12, was backing the 4-wheel hay wagon into the dairy barn with a team of horses for the first time. The barn was post and beam. The custom wooden joints between the beams and columns were secured with wooden pegs — no steel. There are very few wooden post and beam barns like this being built today! Today, the leading choice is pre-engineered metal buildings.

Tips on Estimating Special Construction Costs from RSMeans

If you take outside quotes as an aid to estimating Special Construction, review the scope of work covered in those quotes. It may be that the outside agent has wrongfully assumed that you will provide traditionally supplied items such as excavation or an unloading crane. Check to make sure that it is covered somewhere in your estimate, and that it is not carried by both parties.
