The 2022 edition of the Construction and Professional Services Manual (Rev. 0) was issued on Aug. 1, 2022. A PDF of the current CPSM Edition along with DEB Notice 080122 summarizing the significant changes from the prior Manual version are both available on the DEB website.
CPSM changes were made to reflect recent legislative changes, updated legal interpretations and administration initiatives, and to improve communication and business operations. Because some changes are a result of changes to the Code of Virginia, these changes require immediate compliance. Therefore, a CPSM revision is effective on the date issued for all projects that do not have an approved CO-6 or working drawings approved by DEB. See CPSM Section 3.2.5.1 for how these changes impact A/E services and contracts.
