A well-written and robust specification is vital to the success of construction projects. It can prevent project delays, unexpected costs, contract disputes and litigation. This is because it is the document that details every material, product, system and process that will be used.
Our Best Practice Guide to Specification Writing guide draws upon more than 50 years of combined experience from NBS and the team at NBS Schumann in order to help you get your specifications right.
The Best Practice Guide to Specification Writing aims to help architects, engineers, and construction professionals develop a robust, standardised approach to specifications.
It includes guidance on editorial style, classification systems, publishing and more to promote best practice principles across the construction industry.
It is a free download and is also customisable. This means that organisations can choose to include their own guidance and processes to create a bespoke quality-assurance document.
