Construction · Defined
Nonconforming work
Work that does not meet an applicable contract requirement, approved detail, or specified criterion.
Why it matters
Document the condition and the responsible reviewer’s disposition. A proposed repair, acceptance, or credit should not be assumed to resolve it until properly authorized.
In practice
