2. Document List

a. P100: The Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service (PBS) is the document that provides the design standards and criteria for all new buildings, major and minor alterations, and work in historic buildings for the Public Buildings Service of GSA. This document contains the policy and technical criteria to be used in the programming, design, construction and GC Contract Statement of Work documentation of GSA buildings. All the submission requirements for drawings, specifications and reports are listed in this publication.

b. P120: The Public Buildings Service (PBS) Cost and Schedule Management Policy: establishes the quality and level of cost and schedule management services to be provided during the planning, design and construction phases of projects.
