Which term means purchase and/or fabricate and deliver to the jobsite?

• A. Specifications
• B. Furnish
• C. Install
• D. Provide

Answer: (B)

Furnish is the term that covers buying (or fabricating, if required by the contract) and delivering items to the jobsite. In project contracts, to furnish means you handle procurement and transport of materials or equipment to the site, and it can include fabrication when the contract calls for it. The emphasis is on getting the item to the site in the appropriate form, ready for use or installation. Specifications describe the required qualities or standards, not who delivers or fabricates. Install refers to the act of placing and securing the item at the jobsite. Provide is a broader term that can mean supplying something, but it doesn’t inherently specify procurement and delivery or fabrication.
