DEVELOPMENT OF CPM PHASING
FOR NAT IONAL CEMETERY PROJECTS
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

GENERAL:
1.1
Refer to ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN CRITERIA - DRAWINGS
(ATTACHMENT) for general requirements and classification of
drawings ("CPM-Series").
1.2
Follow this criteria and the current edition of VA Construction
Standards, VA Handbooks, VA Program Guides, and VA Master
Specifications in development of CPM phasing.
PHASING NARRATIVE (Example 1A attached): Provide a narrative to
2.
outline phasing requirements and sequence. Identify all areas of the
project as a part of some phase. Each phase description shall include
constraints particular to that phase, what other phases must precede

3.1
Individual Phases: Outline and label individual phases on all the
submitted schematics and first design development plans
including site, architectural, structural, HVAC, plumbing, sanitary,
steam, and electrical drawings. NOTE: outline phases on the
submitted full size drawings. Prepare a separate set of phasing
plans (Example "1B" of phasing drawings is attached).

covered by that phase with all systems functioning properly.
