VA STANDARDS
All subsystems are to be designed in accordance with applicable VA
Construction Standards, and should utilize VA Standard Details and
Master Construction Specifications to the maximum practical extent. The
Prototype Design conflicts with these standards in only a few minor
respects. (See Section 550.) However, development of detailed
subsystem designs in accordance with overall system objectives will
require some new details and specifications. For instance, the VA Master
Construction Specifications do not currently include sections which would
adequately cover the unique aspects of the ceiling subsystem such as the
platform and supporting framework. Appropriate specifications will have to
be developed after a generic design option is selected. Even when the
standard details and specifications are applicable, they must be carefully
reviewed, and modified if necessary, to ensure complete consistency with
the system design
