7. declare that where this file(s) is a BIM/CAD file, it is not a complete representation of the project but should be considered to show the design in general arrangement only and should not be relied on for construction purposes. Not all areas have been fully modelled. This File(s) should be read in conjunction with relevant details, specification, codes and regulations.

8. declare that where this file is a BIM/CAD file and the project is in design stage, it plus any associated views or support files are made available for information purposes only and shall be considered Work In Progress.

10. declare that where this file is a drawing issued for as-built, it comprises the issued for construction architectural design documentation updated to reflect variations and clarifications notified in writing by the contractor to us. It does not reflect any changes which may have occurred in construction that were not so notified and may accordingly be inaccurate or incomplete.

11. declare that where this file is a BIM/CAD file issued for information at as-built stage, it comprises the architectural design model updated to reflect variations and clarifications notified in writing by the contractor to Squillace.
