    can any of the architects or technicians (or QS's) on here tell me the difference between preambles and preliminaries.

    had an argument in work about them today.

    thanks!

    preliminaries:-

    in contract administration, that part
    of a bill of quantities or specification that describes
    not the work itself, but associated matters such as
    site use, facilities, security etc.

    preamble:-

    A preliminary statement, especially the introduction to a formal document that serves to explain its purpose.
    usually in contracts these
    (i) identifies the agreement through a title,
    (ii) identifies the parties to the agreement, and
    (iii) identifies the date on which the agreement was entered into.
