Specifications - Important Details
DEAR TIM: I've heard a lot about specifications. What are
they and is there really a value in having them for my project? N.
W.
DEAR N.W.: Specifications are detailed written
descriptions of the articles to be used in a project as well as the manner in
which they are to be installed. They can be one of the most valuable things in
guaranteeing a successful project.
Specifications become the guidelines which your contractor must follow to satisfy you. They usually clearly state what items are to be installed in your project. In the event of an error by your contractor, specifications will be an invaluable aid in identifying the error.
The specifications should be attached to the plans for your project.
They should also be clearly mentioned in the contract between you and your contractor. He must realize their importance.
How would you like me to build your new home? It's probably impossible for me to fit your job into my schedule, but I will gladly share hundreds of my tricks and building secrets with you and your builder. Check out my New House Specifications.
