Surviving specification
Article Abstract:
A specification writer must ensure all requirements of a design are interpreted as clearly as possible so as to avoid confusion should a dispute arise during construction of a project. Specification writers act as project recordists, ensuring all aspects of construction and design are written down for future reference, while taking care to include only items which may be needed and discarding information of no relevance. The designer's requirements must be the main focus for a specification writer.
