 The standard AIA (American Institute of Architects) and EJCDC (Engineering Joint Contract Documents Committee) states that the drawings and specifications are complementary, together providing the information required for a complete facility.Many public agencies, such as the Naval Facilities Command (NAVFAC) state that the specifications overrule the drawings.This is based on the idea that words are easier for a jury (or mediator) to interpret than drawings in case of a dispute.
