SPECIFICATIONS
WRITING
Specifications refers to a detailed description
of work to be done or material to be used in a
project; an instruction that exactly says how to
do or make something, usually in accordance
to standard practice or procedures. Also called
briefly as specs, it is an integral component of a
building document. It is a precise, explicit
statement or enumeration of particulars as to
size, shape, quality, color, manner and method
of making things correctly. It is also presented
in a relatively short, concise, simple, and direct
language that is easy to understand.
For writing specifications for construction
contracts, care must be taken to ensure
consistency of requirements throughout and
conformity with what is written in other
documents.
