Fajardo, Jr, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FOREWORD tegral part of a construction jement or enumeration of making things right Specification is the act or process of making particular details. The purpose is or vagueness of something by supplying some characteristics that limit it to a precise coverage or boundaries. In engineering terms, specification is a printed ion of a plan for something. It can be detailed, precise or explicit presentation as by enumeration, description or working drawing of constructional work. For instance, construction or renovation of a house, done, the quantity and quality of mat of construction plus dimension and oth: shown in the working drawing. Types of Specification 1. Simple Specification is appropriate only to imple form of labor and materials, supplies or machine which had become standard. It needs no special knowledge in preparation provided thatrequirement of 8 G00 1d Specification both in plan and both owner and the reason he can make cet ing on uncertain he may be obliged to do due to vague ons. not like a novel. ure that will those characteristics. o result should be specified.

There for him to decide the matter ude of description, the engineer y have the chance to vary expense and favor a certain person for dishonest motive. This is Aisedvartageous to the owner and contractor. dealing between contending parties should respect for others ‘ccording to one’s idea of social justice. mais. For example, sumber required shall be tax purpose intended of straight grain and free from defects as the Engineer shall - prescribed”. This isnot determinate specification, it permit the Engineer 0 require materials more needed by the Engineer. Specification should not be ambiguous. It should not have more than one meaning or interpretation. Unnecessary or unreasonable requirements are always ambiguous and uncertain as to what is really desired and what actually needed by the Engineer. Specification should _not_be unnecessary severe. Specification for materials of the class desired should be embodied. It should not be unusual or extravagant because it adds materially to the expenses. ‘Specification should not be arbitrary. The Engineer’s duty to control over the work should not be arbitrary. The contractor should not be deprived of using sound discretion when necessary to achieve the desired result Otherwise, the contractor may claim that rial works of the Engineer as contractor to escapethe writer could explain the manner and methods to be fulfilled. Detailed specification on the other hand is mandatory as the design becomes more elaborate and parts of the structures are numerous and complicated, Specification of this type should be prepared carefully and confusion that may creat tion must be written in the language of the ity and should be accurate and exact.
