Uniform Location of Subject Matter N-122

The ULSM provides a comprehensive list of the subjects covered in typical construction documents, and recommends where each subject should be addressed. Construction contracts typically include several components. Key business terms are found in the Agreement form, and further developed, refined, or modified by the General Conditions and Supplementary Conditions, and the Drawings and Specifications. In addition, key contract-related information is sometimes included in bidding documents, such as instructions to bidders and bid forms. Through the years the publishers of standard construction contracts (such as EJCDC and AIA) and CSI have worked to establish standard approaches to the structure and organization of construction contract documents, for the benefit and guidance of the drafters and users of the documents. The ULSM is the result of these efforts.
