Question

What are the two instancesin a project when the engineer is not required to consider requests for substitutions of products?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The substitution of products indicates the changes in products from those specified in the project specifications and standards. Such product substitutions are done for lowering the construction cost, shortening the construction period, or for improving the quality of the project. The product substitution involves the creation of the request for the substitutions and approval from the project engineer and the owner or owner’s team. Such consideration of the request for substitutions are accepted by the engineer on account of the superiority of the product in terms of cost, quality and time in almost any phase of the project, except for the two critical instances.
