In construction, the details are everything, which is why the spec book plays such an important role in every major construction project. According to the Dictionary of Architecture & Construction, , a specification is “a written document describing in detail the scope of work, materials to be used, methods of installation, and quality of workmanship for a parcel of work to be placed under contract; usually utilized in conjunction with working (contract) drawings in building construction”. A failure to communicate and accurately document any of these important details about a project could lead to costly and time-consuming errors leading to massive change orders and project delays.
Given the important role that specifications play, it’s clear that spec books are a critical component of any construction project. Ensure that all parties are on the same page by providing accurate, updated specification books for all stakeholders and bidders.
