 Foreword

The Common Arrangement of Work Sections (CAWS), first published

in 1987, is a working convention designed to promote standardisation
of, and detailed coordination between, bills of quantities and
specifications. It is part of the industry wide Coordinated Project
Information (CPI) initiative and has been used for the arrangement of
the National Building Specification, the National Engineering
Specification and the Standard Method of Measurement of Building
Works - Seventh edition. During the last ten years it has come into
widespread use for the arrangement of building project documents.

Developments in construction technology and feedback from usage

have indicated that useful additions and amendments could be made.
Most of the changes in this new edition are at a detailed level, but a
number of new sections have been added, and a more detailed index
has been included. The new edition aligns CAWS with the Unified
Classification for the Construction Industry (UNICLASS) which was
published in 1997.

Financial support has also come from the Department of the

Environment, for which we are grateful.

It has given me great satisfaction t o witness the growth of

Coordinated Project Information from the seed planted by the Project
Information Group in 1979. M y thanks go t o everyone who has
contributed their time and experience towards this major work and
especially to the few who have stayed on board since 1979, a
remarkable record. Their commitment has been rewarded by the
widespread use of the CPI documents by the construction industry,
and the major benefits which result from this.

The authors of the First edition This Second edition of Common Arrangement o f Work Sections for Building Works
clearly relies heavily on the pioneering work on the First edition, published i n 1987.
The principles established in the First edition remain unaltered. Apart from changes
necessitated by developments in technology and practice there have been relatively
few changes i n the detailed content. Bearing in mind the radical and entirely new nature
of the First edition this indicates the thoroughness of the work which went into it.

The authors of NBS, NES and SMM7 The changes t o the First edition have, in the main, come from its use i n practice. The
majority of such usage has been via the National Building Specification, the National
Engineering Specification and the Seventh edition of the Standard Method of
Measurement of Building Works. The authors of these conventions have played an
important role in collecting feedback from practitioners, and i n making constructive
suggestions for change. They are too numerous to list here, but we are indebted to all
of them.

The whole project t o review the Common Arrangement has been led and coordinated
by Tony Allott and John Cann, for NBS Services.

The Construction Project Information The work has been commissioned and coordinated by the Construction Project
Committee Information Committee, the membership of which, at the time of publication, is:

 Introduction

1. General The purpose of the Common Arrangement of Work Sections (CAWS)

is t o define an efficient and generally acceptable arrangement for
specifications and bills of quantities for building projects. It consists of
a set of detailed work section definitions, all within a classification
framework of Groups and Sub-groups. The CAWS classification down
to the level of work section titles forms one of the fifteen tables of the
Uniclass classification scheme, published by RlBA Publications for the
Construction Project Information Committee in 1997.

The detailed work section definitions form the largest and most
important part of this document. Different titles often mean different
things in different industry documents and to different groups of
people. The detailed definitions are provided in order to reduce
needless variations and conflicts between documents and even within
the same document. In practice this means concentrating on the
boundaries t o ensure that gaps and overlaps between sections are
eliminated.

2. The main advantages The main advantages which accrue from the use of CAWS are:

Easier distribution of information

Historically, specifications and quantities were arranged in about
15-20 'trade' sections. The development of new construction
techniques and specialist subcontractors means that the number of
separately identifiable work sections has considerably increased.
CAWS defines a set of common sections at this finer level, making it
easier t o divide information for distribution t o sub-contractors and
suppliers both for estimating and subsequently getting the work built.

More effective reading together of documents

Because the CAWS work sections are relatively small and specific in
their scope, they facilitate reference between measured items and the
specification. Moreover, such an arrangement encourages designers,
when annotating their drawings, to incorporate simple but precise
references t o the relevant sections and clauses of the specification.
Such references should also apply automatically t o the sections of the
quantities.

Greater consistency of content and description

Wider use of standard specification clauses gives greater consistency
of technical content and description. CAWS, with its detailed section
definitions, makes the relationship between specifications and
quantities more reliable, promoting a more consistent level of
description in the quantities. Additionally, the widespread use of
cross-references t o the specification encourages designers t o be more
consistent i n the amount and nature of description which they give on
drawings. The overall effect is t o make the information in the
individual project documents less variable, and t o give greater
predictability as t o the location of information. There is less repetition
and the documents are simpler to prepare and use.

3. Work sections ’as found‘ CAWS includes about 360 work sections. They are derived from close
observation of current practice, following the pattern of sub-
contracting in the industry. The primary factors which influence and
define these work groupings are:
- Responsibility for design and performance.
- Methods of working, related to sub-contract practice.
These, and a number of secondary factors, are discussed further in
Appendix 1.

The 360 sections vary widely in their scope and nature, reflecting the
\
large range of building materials, products, systems, specialists and
I
sub-contractors which now exist. A large number of the sections have
titles of an ’elemental’ or ‘systems’ character, e.g. ’Raised access
floors‘, ‘Dual duct air conditioning’. But many of the CAWS work
section titles are based mainly on materials and their associated skills, I

e.g. ‘Mixing/Casting/Curing in situ concrete’, ’Natural slating’. The co-

existence of such apparently different types of section makes it
desirable t o explain the principles and concepts which lie behind the

classification.

4. The main principles Work sections are the chapters of specifications and bills of quantities
which reflect types of construction activity. Associated with this is the
notion of adding skill, knowledge, and the use of specialised tools t o
the basic resources of products and labour. Following from this is the
notion of trades and specialist sub-contractors who accept
responsibility for the adequacy and performance of their work. These
ideas are fundamental t o the concept of the work section as a useful
division of the work for purposes of procurement.

To examine further the concept of adding skills to resources, it is

useful t o look at work sections in an operational context:

The bricklayer is skilled in the use of resources, Le:

Bricks
Mortar
Damp proof courses
Wall ties
Tools
His own labour (time).

He is also skilled in constructing walls, including:

Stability
Appearance
Resistance to moisture
Junctions with other elements and types of work.

The bricklayer’s skill is thus related to the resources being used (input)
and the parts of the building being constructed (output).

Similarly, in the building services field, a sub-contractor for a LTHW

heating system is skilled in the use of:
Pipes
Radiators
Pumps
Insulation
Controls
Commissioning procedures.

He is also skilled in design and installation of the heating system and

often takes responsibility for this, including:
Required heat outputs
Radiators and pipe sizes
'1 Pipe flow characteristics
Freedom from leaks
Performance of the system.

5. Work sections: a dual It follows that 'work section' is a dual concept, involving the resources
concept being used and also the parts of the work being constructed, including
their essential functions. The category is usually influenced and
characterised by both input and output.

This 'duality' has emerged from defining and naming work sections
according to the working practice in the industry. Some of the
proposed sections have 'parts of building' titles and some 'materials'
titles, but most lie in the middle ground, a significant proportion
having clear 'two part' titles, e.g.:

Materials words Part of building words

(input) (output)
Brick/b I oc k wa IIing
Mastic asphalt t a n ki ng/da mp proof ing
Lead sheet coverings/flashings
Stone slab cladding
Interlocking block roads/pa v ing
Licensed copy from CIS: UNIGREENWICH, , 07/05/2015, Uncontrolled Copy.

Electric (cable) heating system

Piped water heating system

Work sections may be characterised predominantly by the resources

used, or by the end result of the work. The balance varies section t o
section as in Figure A. This indicates that the apparent difference
between CAWS 'system' sections and 'materials' sections is not a
difference of principle but a difference of emphasis on input and
output characteristics.

Introduction

6. High level groupings CAWS is set out in three levels, the third and lowest of these being the
'work sections'. Levels 1 and 2 in the arrangement are not work
sections so much as headings under which the actual work sections
are grouped. To reinforce the distinction between the work sections
and the high level groupings the three levels have been given the
following titles:

Level 1 Group e.g. D Groundwork

Level 2 Sub-group e.g. D4 Ground retention
Level 3 Work section e.g. D40 Embedded retaining walls

An overriding consideration is the need for simplicity, particularly that

the section numbers should be short and easy t o remember.

The logic behind the sequence of the level 1 groups is shown a t

Appendix 2. Definitions of the level 1 groups are given in Appendix 3.

7. Section titles In many cases it has proved impossible to find titles which are brief,
familiar and which accurately represent the scope and nature of the
work sections. Compromise has been unavoidable, with the result
that some of the titles are less than fully descriptive of their content.
Reference should therefore be made t o the work section definitions.

In the interests of brevity the word 'work' has been omitted, but it
should be assumed t o apply throughout all three levels of the
arrangement.

A diagonal stroke in a group, sub-group or work section title indicates

that the words on either side of the stroke may be deleted as
appropriate when preparing project documents. Where the optional
terms are retained the diagonal strokes may, if preferred, be replaced
by 'and' and commas as appropriate.

8. Use of the Arrangement The 'narrow scope' approach adopted in CAWS has resulted in a large
number of work sections compared with former practice. However
when applied t o individual projects, it will be found that only 10-30%
of the sections will apply.

CAWS includes three levels, in order t o provide a classified grouping

which will permit new sections t o be inserted in the future. However
for practical purposes project specifications and bills of quantities will
be most clearly and simply arranged using only Levels 1 and 3 of
CAWS.

9. Second edition changes CAWS has been used extensively since the First edition was published
in 1987, principally via the National Building Specification, the
National Engineering Specification and SMM7. Feedback from such
use is the basis for the changes in this Second edition.

A significant number of new sections have been added, some have

been deleted, and the total number has increased by around 40. Some
sections remain, but with amended titles. The lists of 'Included' and
'Excluded' items for each work section have been reviewed in detail:
some have been amended extensively, but others remain virtually
unaltered.

The most significant changes have been briefly described under a

heading 'Second edition changes' at the end of the relevant section
definitions. The work section titles tally with those in Uniclass with a
small number of variations, all of which have been noted.

deff iniuion of sections

During the initial development and subsequent use of CAWS the

following factors have proved to be significant in the definition of
work sections:

1. Responsibility for design and This factor is of paramount importance, particularly in mechanical and
performance electrical services. In any one project there can be many different
services systems, each with its own plant, distribution, terminals and
controls. Development of the detailed design of such systems is
usually done by the sub-contractor(s), specification being at least
partly in terms of performance. Each of the systems is normally
considered as an operational entity and in the process of testing and
commissioning has to perform on its own account in accordance with
the design parameters set down. It is also convenient to identify each
system as a separate package of work as it may well be in its own
geographical location and have its own particular specification
requirements. In general both designers and installers see this as a
natural division of building services work.

A similar set of circumstances applies on the building fabric side

where whole elements of the building are constructed using
proprietary methods. For example curtain walling, suspended
ceilings, panel partitions, raised access floors, are each invariably
carried out by a particular manufacturer or his approved agent, using
a patented form of construction with a given performance. As with
services, it is important that such 'responsibility packages' are
maintained in CAWS.

2. Methods of working, related This is the most important factor for most types of building fabric
to sub-contract practice work. It is related to materials and products, their shape, size and
working properties. Methods of working are the basis of operative
skills and hence the main origin of trades and specialist sub-contract
packages.

Virtually without exception normal sub-contract and work gang

boundaries coincide with changes in methods of working. However in
practice there is great variability in sub-contracting practice, and it is
often impossible to define universally acceptable boundaries.

Proprietary systems of construction, regardless of the types of work

which they embrace, will invariably be single sub-contract packages.
Thus proprietary partitions will usually cut across methods of working
by including partition panels, doors, glazing, decoration, electrical
trunking, trims and skirtings.

The scope of sub-contracts may be determined by designers

(nominated or named sub-contracts) or by contractors. In either case
their decisions will be to an extent variable and unpredictable, being
dependant on the amount and nature of the work, commercial
considerations, personal preferences, etc. CAWS therefore follows a
'lowest common denominator' approach, accepting that sub-
contracts can comprise several work sections according to the needs
of the job. In general, it is easier to add two or three sections of
information together to form a sub-contract package, than to involve
the contractor in detailed editing within a large composite section.

 Appendix 1: The factors influencing
definition of sections

Many of the sections will usually coincide with the scope of sub-
contracts. However there are many other examples where two, three
or more sections may, in different circumstances, be added together
to form one sub-contract. The smaller the project, the greater the
tendency t o add sections together, in order t o avoid an uneconomic
proliferation of sub-contractors.

The most extreme case of adding sections together is the normal

mechanical services sub-contract. On a small project this may
comprise 3 or 4 sections. The equivalent sub-contract for a large,
heavily serviced project may comprise 20 or more sections. It must, of
course, be remembered that sub-contracting and sub-sub-contracting
practice is not the major factor in determining building services work
sections, as explained previously.

3. Locational grouping This factor applies where different kinds of work occur in particular

locations with complex operational inter-relationships. The most

obvious example is 'Alterations - spot items' which involves
brickwork, in situ concrete, plasterwork, etc., it being convenient t o
group these together in a series of locational 'spot items'. Other
examples are 'Underpinning' and 'Joints in in situ concrete'. Detailed
specification is usually by reference t o the appropriate 'method of
working' sections.

4. Limiting the repetition of Repetition of information, particularly bulky specification text, can be
information inconvenient t o both producers and users. It can often be avoided by
creating 'reference specification' sections, e.g. 'Pipelines', t o be read
in conjunction with the specification clauses for pipelines in various
'system' sections. Other examples are 'Mortar' and 'Sealants'. The
'reference' specification sections can be thought of as in lieu of
suitable British Standards.

5. Separation of design In some cases repetition can be a good thing. For example the
alternatives different types of slating and tiling have similar workmanship
requirements but with significant differences. In NBS each type of
slating and tiling is a separate section with a considerable amount of
repetition. Because it is usual t o find only one type of slating or tiling
in a project, the repetition hardly ever occurs in project documents.
The advantage is that the specification variants can be dealt with more
easily.

This factor is important in the building services field where there are
different types of system which serve the same purpose, e.g. heat
sources, piped heating systems, air conditioning systems. Whilst this
factor will have little effect on project documents it will be an
invaluable feature of libraries of specification clauses.

174
 Appendix 1: The factors influencing
definition of sections

6. Accessories and sundry In most cases accessories and sundry items are an intrinsic and
items inseparable part of the work sections and can be grouped accordingly.
One variant on this is the treatment of accessories which are common
t o ‘complementary’ work sections which are often used together. For
example:
Lintels, dpcs, wall ties, cavity bats, etc. common t o brick/block
walling, natural stone ashlar walling, cast stone walling, etc.
0 Kerbs, edgings, channels, etc. common t o macadam, interlocking
block, paving slab, etc. roads, paths and pavings.

In each case the chosen solution is t o group the ’common’ accessories

together - see sections F30 and Q10.

However, many items cannot be grouped convincingly with particular

types of work, but exist as accessories and sundries in their own right.
A number of CAWS work sections have been provided as locational/
functional ’homes’ for such things, e.g.
0 General fixtures/furnishings/equipment
Licensed copy from CIS: UNIGREENWICH, , 07/05/2015, Uncontrolled Copy.

0 S ite/St reet f u r n itu re/eq u ip ment

0 Sun d ry insu lation/proof ing work
0 Unf ra med iso Iated t r im s/s kirtings/s u nd ry items

Conclusion The factors listed above can be summarised as follows:

Primary factors:
0
Responsibility for design and/or performance.
e Methods of work, related t o sub-contract and work gang practice.

Secondary factors:
0 Locational grouping.
Limiting the repetition of specification.
* Separation of design alternatives.
0 Accessories and sundry items.

The factors can contradict each other, and when this occurs it is
necessary t o make well-balanced judgements which give the greatest
overall benefit. It has t o be recognised that a common arrangement
which works perfectly from all points of view is often not possible.

Application to particular Finally, it is necessary t o bear in mind that work sections need t o
projects function at many different levels. The CAWS sections are defined in
considerable detail, and are used t o organise the content of industry
source documents such as SMM7, NBS and NES. When used on
particular projects the range of things covered by the sections is
normally less than the CAWS definitions and, particularly on small
projects, the content of some sections will be very small.

When preparing project documents a quite normal reaction would be

t o subsume minor items into other sections and/or t o merge certain
sections together. Whilst this has attractions, there is the basic
disadvantage of departing from an agreed detailed standard format,
perhaps causing difficulties of finding the often elusive sundry items.
A better approach is t o maintain the standard sectional breakdown in

175
 Appendix 1: The factors influencing
definition of sections

virtually all circumstances, accepting that some sections of the bill or

specification will contain only one item or one clause.

This should not result in unacceptable bulking of the documents

provided that page breaks are organised in a sensible manner. For
example:
0 Large projects: each Level 3 work section t o start on a new page.
0 Medium size projects: each Level 1 group of sections t o start on a
new page, otherwise work sections t o be run on.
0 Small projects: all work sections to be run on.
(It is unlikely that the CAWS Level 2 headings will be used in project
documents -see Introduction, Part 8).

work packages.

The classification of work sections is separate from, and

complementary to, the classification of other concepts such as
building types, elements, construction products and properties/
characteristics. Uniclass, published in 1997, is the definitive overall
classification system for use in the UK. It consists of fifteen
classification tables, one of which is for work sections for buildings,
comprising the Common Arrangement group, sub-group and work
section headings.
