and Substantial Performance
Progress Invoicing 1.
The submission of erection diagrams and/or shop details will initiate progress in- a)
voicing. Payments of invoices will be in accordance with the terms of the con-
tract.
Any and all materials fabricated will initiate additional progress invoicing with b)
payment as per contract.
Any and all materials shipped to the site and/or erected in place will initiate ad- c)
ditional progress invoicing with payment as per contract.
Final invoicing will be made after all steel has been delivered to site, erected and d)
all work completed.
Substantial completion is based on the completion of the WORK of the steel Fab- e)
ricator or Erector, and therefore release of holdback will be 41 days (or as per
applicable lien legislation) after issuance of the Certicate of Completion of this
WORK.

7-42 CISC Code of Standard Practice
APPENDIX I
Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel (AESS)
I1. Scope and Requirements
I1.1 General Requirements. When members are specically designated as Architecturally
Exposed Structural Steel or AESS in the Contract Documents, the requirements in Sections
1 through 7 shall apply as modied by this Appendix. AESS members or components shall be
fabricated and erected with the care and dimensional tolerances that are stipulated in Sections
1.2 through 1.5.
I1.2 Denition of Categories. Categories are listed in the AESS Matrix shown in Table I1
where each Category is represented by a set of Characteristics. The following Categories shall
be used when referring to AESS:
AESS 1: Basic Elements
Suitable for basic elements which require enhanced workmanship.
AESS 2: Feature Elements Viewed at a Distance > 6 m
Suitable for feature elements viewed at a distance greater than six metres.
The process involves basically good fabrication practices with enhanced
treatment of weld, connection and fabrication detail, tolerances for gaps, and
copes.
AESS 3: Feature Elements Viewed at a Distance 6 m
Suitable for feature elements where the designer is comfortable allowing
the viewer to see the art of metalworking. Welds are generally smooth but
visible; some grind marks are acceptable. Tolerances are tighter than normal
standards. The structure is normally viewed closer than six metres and is fre-
quently subject to touching by the public.
AESS 4: Showcase Elements
Suitable for showcase or dominant elements where the designer intends
the form to be the only feature showing in an element. All welds are ground,
and lled edges are ground square and true. All surfaces are sanded/lled.
Tolerances of fabricated forms are more stringent generally one-half of the
standard tolerance. All surfaces are to be glove smooth.
AESS C: Custom Elements
Suitable for elements which require a different set of Characteristics than
specied in Categories 1, 2, 3 or 4.
I1.3 Additional Information. The following additional information shall be provided in the
Contract Documents when AESS is specied:
Specic identication of members or components that are AESS using the AESS a)
Categories listed in I1.2. Refer to Table I1;
7-43 CISC Code of Standard Practice
Fabrication and/or erection tolerances that are to be more restrictive than provided b)
for in this Appendix;
For Categories AESS 2, 3, 4 requirements, if any, of a visual sample or rst-off c)
component for inspection and acceptance standards prior to the start of fabrica-
tion;
For Category AESS C, the AESS Matrix included in Table I1 shall be used to speci- d)
fy the required treatment of the element.
I2. Shop Detail, Arrangement and Erection Drawings
I2.1 Identication. All members designated as AESS members are to be clearly identied with
a Category, either AESS 1, 2, 3, 4 or C, on all shop detail, arrangement and erection drawings.
I2.2 Variations. Any variations from the AESS Categories listed must be clearly noted. These
variations could include machined surfaces, locally abraded surfaces, and forgings. In addi-
tion:
If a distinction is to be made between different surfaces or parts of members, the a)
transition line/plane must be clearly identied/dened on the shop detail, arrange-
ment and erection drawings;
Tack welds, temporary braces and xtures used in fabrication are to be indicated b)
on shop drawings;
All architecturally sensitive connection details will be submitted for approval by c)
the Architect/Engineer prior to completion of shop detail drawings.
I3. Fabrication
I3.1 General Fabrication. The fabricator is to take special care in handling the steel to avoid
marking or distorting the steel members.
All slings will be nylon-type or chains with softeners or wire rope with softeners. a)
Care shall be taken to minimize damage to any shop paint or coating. b)
If temporary braces or xtures are required during fabrication or shipment, or to c)
facilitate erection, care must be taken to avoid and/or repair any blemishes or un-
sightly surfaces resulting from the use or removal of such temporary elements.
Tack welds shall be ground smooth. d)
I3.2 Unnished, Reused or Weathering Steel. Members fabricated of unnished, reused or
weathering steel that are to be AESS may still have erection marks, painted marks or other
marks on surfaces in the completed structure. Special requirements shall be specied as Cat-
egory AESS C.
I3.3 Tolerances for Rolled Shapes. The permissible tolerances for depth, width, out-of- square,
camber and sweep of rolled shapes shall be as specied in CSA G40.20/21 and ASTM A6. The
following exceptions apply:
For Categories AESS 3 and 4: the matching of abutting cross-sections shall be a)
required;
For Categories AESS 2, 3 and 4: the as-fabricated straightness tolerance of a mem- b)
ber is one-half of the standard camber and sweep tolerance in CSA G40.20/21.
7-44 CISC Code of Standard Practice
I3.4 Tolerances for Built-up Members. The tolerance on overall section dimensions of mem-
bers made up of plates, bars and shapes by welding is limited to the accumulation of permis-
sible tolerances of the component parts as provided by CSA W59 and ASTM A6. For Categor-
ies AESS 2, 3 and 4, the as-fabricated straightness tolerance for the built-up member is one-half
of the standard camber and sweep tolerances in CSA W59.
I3.5 Joints. For Categories AESS 3 and 4, all copes, miters and butt cuts in surfaces exposed
to view are made with uniform gaps, if shown to be open joint, or in uniform contact if shown
without gap.
I3.6 Surface Appearance. For Categories AESS 1, 2 and 3, the quality surface as delivered by
the mills will be acceptable. For Category AESS 4, the steel surface imperfections should be
lled and sanded.
I3.7 Welds. For corrosive environments, all joints should be seal welded. In addition:
For Categories AESS 1, 2 and 3, a smooth uniform weld will be acceptable. For a)
Category AESS 4, the weld will be contoured and blended.
For Categories AESS 1, 2, 3 and 4, all weld spatter is to be avoided/removed where b)
exposed to view.
For Categories AESS 1 and 2, weld projection up to 2 mm is acceptable for butt c)
and plug-welded joints. For Categories AESS 3 and 4, welds will be ground
smooth/lled.
I3.8 Weld Show-through. It is recognized that the degree of weld show-through, which is any
visual indication of the presence of a weld or welds on the opposite surface from the viewer, is
a function of weld size and material thickness.
For Categories AESS 1, 2 and 3, the members or components will be acceptable as a)
produced.
For Category AESS 4, the fabricator shall minimize the weld show-through. b)
I3.9 Surface Preparation for Painting. Unless otherwise specied in the Contract Docu-
ments, the Fabricator will clean AESS members to meet the requirement of SSPC-SP 6 Com-
mercial Blast Cleaning (sandblast or shotblast). Prior to blast cleaning:
Any deposits of grease or oil are to be removed by solvent cleaning, SSPC-SP 1; a)
Weld spatter, slivers and surface discontinuities are to be removed; b)
Sharp edges resulting from ame cutting, grinding and especially shearing are to c)
be softened.
I3.10 Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) Seams

able as produced.
For Category AESS 3, seams shall be oriented away from view or as indicated in b)
the Contract Documents.
For Category AESS 4, seams shall be treated so that they are not apparent. c)
7-45 CISC Code of Standard Practice
I4. Delivery of Materials
I4.1 General Delivery. The Fabricator shall use special care to avoid bending, twisting or
otherwise distorting the Structural Steel. All tie-downs on loads will be either nylon strap or
chains with softeners to avoid damage to edges and surfaces of members.
I4.2 Standard of Acceptance. The standard for acceptance of delivered and erected members
shall be equivalent to the standard employed at fabrication.
I5. Erection
I5.1 General Erection. The Erector shall use special care in unloading, handling and erecting
the AESS to avoid marking or distorting the AESS. The Erector must plan and execute all oper-
ations in a manner that allows the architectural appearance of the structure to be maintained.
All slings will be nylon-strap or chains with softeners. a)
Care shall be taken to minimize damage to any shop paint or coating. b)
If temporary braces or xtures are required to facilitate erection, care must be taken c)
to avoid and/or repair any blemishes or unsightly surfaces resulting from the use or
removal of such temporary elements.
Tack welds shall be ground smooth and holes shall be lled with weld metal or d)
body ller and smoothed by grinding or lling to the standards applicable to the
shop fabrication of the materials.
All backing bars shall be removed and ground smooth. e)
All bolt heads in connections shall be on the same side, as specied, and consistent f)
from one connection to another.
I5.2 Erection Tolerances. Unless otherwise specied in the Contract Documents, members
and components are plumbed, leveled and aligned to a tolerance equal to that permitted for
structural steel.
I5.3 Adjustable Connections. When more stringent tolerances are specically required for
erecting AESS, the Owners plans shall specify/allow adjustable connections between AESS
and adjoining structural elements, in order to enable the Erector to adjust and/or specify the
method for achieving the desired dimensions. Adjustment details proposed by the Erector shall
be submitted to the Architect and Engineer for review.

7-48 CISC Code of Standard Practice
APPENDIX J
Digital Modelling
This Appendix is intended to facilitate the understanding and use of digital modelling technol-
ogy in the design and construction of steel structures. No long-established standard of practice
exists; therefore, it is the intent of this Appendix to provide guidance when its use is contem-
plated.
J1. Digital Building Product Models
When the contract documents indicate that a three-dimensional digital Building Product Mod-
el (BPM sometimes referred to as a Building Information Model (BIM)) replaces contract
drawings and is to be used as the primary means of designing, representing, and exchanging
structural steel data for the project, the provisions in this Appendix shall apply. In this case, all
references to the Design Drawings in this Code shall instead apply to the Design Model, and
all references to Fabrication (Shop Details formerly Shop Drawings) and Erection Docu-
ments in the Code shall instead apply to the Manufacturing Model. The CIS/2 Logical Product
Model (LPM) shall be used as the Building Product Model for structural steel. The CIS/2 LPM
for structural steel may exist solely as the projects BPM or may be integrated into a multi-
disciplinary BPM for projects adopting greater digital model design application. Refer to the
Electronic Data Interchange Project Flowchart at the end of this Appendix to understand this
interoperability. In the context of the structural discipline, the BIM is sometimes referred to as
the SBIM (Structural Building Information Model).
If the primary means of project communication reverts from a model-based (electronic) sys-
tem to a paper-based system, the requirements in this Code other than in this Appendix shall
apply.

A digital information structure of the objects making up a building
or structure, capturing the form, function, behaviour and relations of
the parts and assemblies within one or more building systems, such
as architectural, structural and mechanical. The data in the model
is created, manipulated (edited), evaluated, reviewed and presented
using computer-based design, engineering and manufacturing appli-
cations. Traditional two-dimensional drawings may be one of many
reports generated by the Building Product Model.
CIS/2 (CIM Steel
Integration Standards/
Version 2)
The specication providing the Building Product Model for struc-
tural steel and format for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) among
software applications dealing with steel design, analysis, and manu-
facturing.
7-49 CISC Code of Standard Practice
Logical Product
Model (LPM)
The CIS/2 Building Product Model which supports the engineering of
low-, medium-, and high-rise construction in domestic, institutional,
commercial and industrial contexts. All elements of the structure are
covered, including main and secondary framing and connections. The
connections used can be of a variety of structural shape or element.
The LPM addresses the exchange of data between structural steel
software applications. It is meant to support a heterogeneous set of
software applications over a broad portion of the steel information
development conveyance life cycle. It is organized around the
three different sub-models: the Analysis Model (data represented in
structural analysis), the Design Model (data represented in frame
design layout) and the Manufacturing Model (data represented in
detailing for fabrication).
Data Management
Conformance (DMC)
The capability of the CIS/2 BPM (or LPM) to include optional data
entities for managing and tracking additions, deletions and modi-
cations to a model, including who made the change and when the
change was made for all editing instances.
J3. Standards
Where three-dimensional digital Building Product Model data is specied for information con-
veyance between the design and construction teams of a project, the CIM Steel Integration
Standards Release 2: Second Edition P265: CIS/2.1: Volumes 1 through 4 shall be followed.
J4. Contract Documents
In addition to the requirements in Clause 4, the following requirements shall apply to the De-
sign Model.
J4.1 The Design Model shall:
Consist of Data Management Conformance Classes. a)
Contain Analysis Model data so as to include load calculations as indicated in the b)
Contract Specications referencing jurisdictional codes.
Include entities that fully dene each steel element, and the extent of detailing of c)
each element, as would be recorded on an equivalent set of structural steel design
drawings (see Clause 4.1.2).
Include all steel elements (primary and secondary structural), as well as any other d)
entities required for strength and stability of the completely erected structure.
Govern over all other forms of information, including drawings, sketches, etc. e)
J4.2 The Owner shall designate an Administrator for the LPM, who shall:
Control the LPM by providing appropriate access privileges (read, write, etc.) to a)
all relevant parties.
Maintain the security of the LPM. b)
Guard against data loss of the LPM. c)
7-50 CISC Code of Standard Practice
Be responsible for updates and revisions to the LPM as they occur and archive all d)
versions with appropriate annotations.
Inform all involved parties regarding changes to the LPM. e)
NOTE: When a project is designed and constructed using EDI, it is imperative that
an individual entity on the team be responsible for maintaining the LPM. This is
to assume protection of data through proper back-up, storage and security and to
provide coordination of the ow of information to all team members when information
is added to the model. Team members exchange information to revise the model with
this Administrator. The Administrator will validate all changes to the LPM. This
ensures proper tracking and control of revisions. The Administrator can be one of
the design team members such as an Architect, Structural Engineer, or a separate
entity on the design team serving this purpose who is well experienced with applicable
(sophisticated) software. The Administrator can also be the Fabricators Detailer or
a separate entity on the construction team serving this purpose. Currently, numerous
rms within the Detailer Industry in Canada are well versed in this model management
and information protocol for steel-framed structures.
J5. Fabrication and Erection Documents
In addition to the requirements in Clause 5, the following requirements shall apply:
When the Design Model is used to develop the Manufacturing Model, the Fabricator shall ac-
cept the information under the following conditions:
When the design information is to be conveyed to the Fabricator by way of the De- a)
sign Model, in the event of a conict between the model and any Design Drawings,
the Design Model will govern.
The ownership of the information added to the LPM in the Manufacturing Model b)
should be dened in the Contract Documents. In the absence of terms for owner-
ship regarding the information added by the Fabricator to the LPM in the Contract
Documents, the ownership will belong to the Fabricator, dependent on which party
provided the expertise for the information to be incorporated to the LPM. See Note
below.
During the development of the Manufacturing Model, as member locations are c)
adjusted to convert the modelled parts from a Design Model, these relocations will
only be done with approval of the Designer.
The Fabricator and Erector shall accept the use of the LPM and Design Model d)
under the same conditions as set forth in Clause 4.3.1, except as modied in J5.
When approval of the detailed material is to be done by using the Manufacturing e)
Model, the version of the submitted model shall be identied. Comments attached
to the individual elements as specied in the CIS/2 Standard shall be used to anno-
tate the Manufacturing Model. The Fabricator will issue the revised Manufacturing
Model for review, and the version of the model submitted will be tracked as previ-
ously dened.
NOTE: Approval of the Manufacturing Model by the Designer can replace the approval
of actual Fabrication and Erection Documents. For this method to be effective, a
system must be in place to record review, approval, correction and nal release of the
7-51 CISC Code of Standard Practice
Manufacturing Model for fabrication of structural steel. The versions of the model
must be tracked with review comments and approvals permanently attached to the
versions of the model to the same extent as such data is maintained with conventional
hard copy approvals. The CIS/2 Standard provides this level of tracking.
