What should the Owner provide concerning the project site?

The owner should provide site surveys and legal descriptions concerning the project site because these documents are essential for establishing boundaries, zoning, and any legal encumbrances that may affect the project. Site surveys delineate the physical characteristics of the property, including dimensions, topography, existing structures, and utilities. Legal descriptions define the precise boundaries of the property in a manner that can be referenced in legal contexts, which is crucial for architects and contractors when planning and executing the project. This foundational information helps ensure that all design and construction activities comply with local regulations, align with project goals, and avoid potential disputes over property lines or land use.

While general project timelines, safety inspection reports, and information about competing projects can be relevant to various aspects of project management, they do not directly relate to the fundamental understanding of the project site itself, which is why site surveys and legal descriptions are prioritized.
