Sinopsis

Clear guidance on construction contracts and specification writing that save time and money. This practical manual shows how to write specifications that complement drawings and protect both owners and builders. It covers the relationships among architect, contractor, and owner, and explains how to handle public and private contracts with confidence.

The book lays out the scope and purpose of a specification, the duties of the specification writer, and the balance between business acumen and technical detail. It emphasizes practical, testable guidance over vague rules, with examples that help you apply the concepts to real projects.


  • Learn how a specification defines the work, materials, and quality without duplicating what drawings already show.

  • Understand how to structure payments, changes, and risk so projects run smoothly and costs stay controlled.

  • Explore the roles and responsibilities of owners, contractors, and architects to prevent misunderstandings.

  • Get guidance on handling both public and private contracts, including standard practices and decision processes.



Ideal for designers, contractors, project managers, and students seeking a solid, field-tested approach to contracts and specifications on real-world projects.

In recant years, such marvelous advances have been made in the engineering and scientific fields, and so rapid has been the evolution of mechanical and constructive processes and methods, that a distinct need has been created for a series of practical working guides, of convenient size and low cost, embodying the accumulated results of experience and the most approved modern practice along a great variety of lines. To fill this acknowledged need, is the special purpose of the series of handbooks to which this volume belongs.

In the preparation of this series, it has been the aim of the publishers to lay special stress on the practical side of each subject, as distinguished from mere theoretical or academic discussion. Each volume is written by a well-known expert of acknowledged authority in his special line, and is based on a most careful study of practical needs and up-to-date methods as developed under the conditions of actual practice in the field, the shop, the mill, the power house, the drafting room, the engine room, etc.

These volumes are especially adapted for purposes of self-instruction and home study.
